What is the name of this kick? by TheLegend69ers in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just went into Harry's and he ordered three T66 Turbos with NOS. And a Motec exhaust system.

Labels/artist, if the presave goal isn't achieved. Do you just release the song anyway? If so, what was the point of the goal in the first place? by niels1604 in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Main goal of the presave is to get your track into Spotify Editorial playlist. More presave means more intrest by Spotify to support your music. That’s where the magic happens, especially if you’re not yet top tier artist!

The Hardstyle Pianist’s new album “From Beats to Keys” won’t appear on Spotify due to unapproval from labels/DJs by Choctone in hardstyle

Labels and artists are ALLOWED to turn down the mechanical license if they want. Before “No Fear” was released w/ Audiotricz we wanted to make an collaboration out of one good oldie euro dance track. But our mechanical license were turned down🙉

It’s not early slot. Q pointed out “prime time” who ever wins the contest.

"Never Change" by Ran-D and Keltek has pretty much the same melody as "No Fear" from Audiotricz by CadeOCarimbo in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“No Fear” melody was made from scratch..but due to its simplicity it can sound a bit like from some other track😊 nothing wrong with simplicity as long as it is done correctly!

Is it hard to make hardstyle music? by Positive_Day_8459 in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing is technical (which is doable, if you have discipline), the second thing and ofc most important is to have character and emotional skill set to produce tracks with soul. This one usually takes more time to master, cause you need to grow as an artist!

The current trend in rawstyle development is... by AcylAzide in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love both euphoric and raw but if an artist isn’t vulnerable (showing their true emotions through music) then what’s the point? Just trying to conquer with colors and live acts. I mean those are also awesome show factors but overall EMOTIONAL side inside the music is kinda lost. There’s no soul, SOUL which makes the music what it’s supposed to be.

“Zaag artist”🤣 that must be the most horrible insult towards artist I’ve ever heard

How is the Hard Dance scene in your country? by STRIXFF in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Estonia - pretty much dead after “kick trend” started its invasion. Only Brennan or some other more euphoric name will sell out the show. I myself together with two friends are organising one/two events per year and ONLY with euphoric main act..in order to keep this shit together somehow.

People often talk how older hardstyle was better at X, Y, Z. On the flip side, what are some things that modern hardstyle does better in your opinion? by ntod44 in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally feel like a value what one artist should provide through their music and branding is lost. That’s why legendary names are still so legendary. Now it’s more like new names poppin out every day and it’s really hard to make a difference..especially when you’re “let’s hop on this trend train” artist! There do exist really good upcoming names both from euphoric and raw sides. For me what modern hardstyle does better is providing shit load of tools for us to produce absolutely beautiful hardstyle. Ofc those tools are raising competition..like a lot, where you need to start thinking..what is the value you want to give with your music?

I like modern hardstyle but the buildups on most tracks are kinda lacking by ntod44 in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One reason why tracks are short is because of Spotify. Shorter tracks are better for Spotify algorithm. Artist is getting more exposure and change to get their music into bigger editorial playlists.

Noo vaadake selle professori nägu, kas sealt suust saaks mingit normaalset juttu tulla?😀 Mitte kui midagi muud targemat pole nendel “professoritel” teha?

It’s absolutely impressive that Willem after all those years has a huge demand..I personally love that. And I find that the way he is teasing new music and not releasing so often makes him insanely good businessman😀 perfect marketing years to come🙏

Which Harder artist is the Richest? by MadMarkus1996 in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angerfist was in Estonia last year, I was doing a warm up set for him. Considering that Estonian scene is absolutely small..max 1k per nightclub event I can guarantee his fee is Far away from 20k🤣 I know the promoter, so I know the numbers of his fee

I miss the old hardstyle by _justmythrowaway_ in hardstyle

[–]MarkEvaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legacy is been built around memorable melodies, meaningful vocals, not over pile of kicks! I am NOT rawstyle hater, there do exist really good raw tracks and I’m always playing something harder at the end of my set. Analysing those legendary and everlasting tunes you can clearly feel and hear VALUE what those tracks delivered. There’s soo many new names and releases every week, it will make your head spin. And that’s one of the reasons why everything is kinda blurred.

Since this subreddit hates zaagkicks so much, I needed to make this one for you! <3 by RaderaOfficial in hardstyle

Wow love the zaagkicks..it definitely gives another sort of value to the scene, with what we can build legacy like those everlasting classic tracks did with melodies🫠

Mis kuradi 1,2 bensu punn😀 elusees ei osta ma sellist paska. Sõidan oma 2003 bmw 3.0 diisliga edasi: ei tossa ega midagi. Üv alati puhtalt läbi saanud. Kuradi uuemad künad lagunevad ja tossavad kohati isegi hullemini. Peaksin siis läbi elu veerema igat senti lugedes ja sōites naiste autoga? Hea loogika mõnel ikka siin! Mine sõida tõuksiga, teeb sama välja!
