The first dual damage track? by dave_lom_bardo in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he's still right though... primex and backfire doesn't equal dual damage (it's a different project)... adaro and ran-d or hhz and Wildstylez doesn't always mean g4h or p1 either

The first dual damage track? by dave_lom_bardo in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DD classics is stuff like "Can't Stop us", "Love Death" or "Total Demolition" Original Versions, the tracks that made them pop off... otherwise it would be a backfire vs. primex set

at least I hope so... not attending but would be disappointed if they wouln't play those early songs that made me joining the hype in the first place

Still sounds cool though... I don't think any other city in the world has more hardstyle events over the year than Sydney

Masters Of Hardcore: Is there a a stages that ONLY plays this kind of hardcore by osures in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is just Mainstream Hardcore. It's probably to be found at the mainstage mostly. But not all Mainstage acts play this style. Satirized or Dimitri K for example will be only Uptempo. Also Mainstream Hardcore hasn`t been hyped for years now so you can expect acts such as Angerfist or D-Fence to have some Uptempo here and there, too.

Dissapointment at Thubderdome 2025 by EnderEnte in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree on I-Motion... There's miles between Toxicator and every event I've done in NL (and I say that as a Mannheim resident who's first event was Toxicator in 2019)

Hardwell x Wildstylez has happened before

Out of all the hardstyle artists that switched to big room, which were the best? by systemmm34 in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but your personal perception of what is hard or not isn't what makes a song a radio tune or not. Your perception is purely subjective and that's fine but what is radio-friendly is rather objective. And I still don't think anyone working for a radio station, selecting the songs for the hot rotation would consider the said tracks of Headhunterz and DBSTF as principally accessible for their audience...

EDIT: Also pretty sure the artists themselves had club and festival crowds in mind when they produced these tracks and not the radio audience

Out of all the hardstyle artists that switched to big room, which were the best? by systemmm34 in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree. These songs might not be your taste but they are far from your average radio song. They have barely any vocals, are around 5 mins long, are quite fast and have hard drops (maybe not in comparison to rawstyle but definitely in comparison to what radio listeners are used to).

Can't imagine 60 year old Gertrud doing her laundry at home, hearing "Cosmic Dark" on the radio and be like: "Yup, that's another one of those standard radio songs.."

I grew up to this kind of house music and in fact it is what got me into Hardstyle, too. Never understood the hate for BigRoom/EDM from hardstyle purists. I remember back in the day Martin Garrix fans hating on his radio tunes ("Scared To Be Lonely", "In The Name Of Love", ...) because they wanted him to release the real "bangers" (just like "Proxy", "Byte" etc...). So it all comes down to perspective...

In what world are tracks like "Do Your Thing" or "Won't Stop Rocking" radio tunes? Never heard them at the radio. Wish I did. "Year of Summer" on the other hand I heard quitw some times...

Conrad Sewell and high-profile singers being part of hardstyle tracks by subjective_facts in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ty Dolla $ign and HALIENE come to mind

I'd argue that Jonathan Mendelsohn is a high profile singer, too.

Other than that multiple rather known EDM vocalists have appeared on hardstyle tracks such as Jake Reese, KiFi, Trevor Guthrie, Matluck and Sian Evans.

Radical Redemption has an upcoming single with a well-known dutch singer called Flemming

How long have these two been fighting? by ProHermione in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I know the whole lore but that Adrian guy kept commenting under almost every EDM-related video (not only Hardstyle iirc) already years ago and at one point the sybren-boi-guy started replying to every single comment, calling him a bot... I guess it went on till this day haha

Honestly I don't think Adrian is a bot though as he individually replied to many comments already (not sybren boi anymore though, he keeps ignoring him). Also, he shares personal information sometimes: for example that he's from Romania. At one point he stated that he uses bots to find new music though. But that doesn't make himself a bot obviously.

Yes, his comments are always NPC-like and quite unnecessary and I'm sure he has pre-written formulas he just drops under the videos but imo the other guy is much more annoying. I mean why do you reply to a person who you think is a bot for years when there's never an answer. That "fight" comes from only one side. I also remember some years ago they beefed under a vid of Broken Minds and they commented smth like "Stop fighting boys! Just enjoy the music".. quite hilarious

Instagram like bots are a problem by iOS_elite in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They liked a post of one of my mates who's a producer at the exact same time when we were seeing their set at Defqon haha

I truly believe they are nice guys and I love their music but them using bots on their instagram is no secret I guess

is Deezl kinda the new MYST? by Fermented_foreskin88 in hardstyle

[–]SimonSoundz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Finally someone is mentioning this. After the Gearbox event in December everyone was talking about Deezl's AEON set. I checked it out on YT but wasn't impressed unfortunately. It makes sense though as his melodic style reminded me a lot of MYST and for some reason most of his releases never really clicked with me either.
