I knew it wouldn't take long for the issue of drugs to rear its ugly head, the idea of this thread was to have intelligent discussion regarding hard dance, by people who listen to hard dance and appreciate hard dance.
IMO - Drugs should be like drinking, you drink out of pleasure and to add another dimension to the night. If you go for the sole purpose of getting drunk, and proceed to do that no matter what, and make no effort to enjoy any other aspect of the night, than thats a waste, and if you can't enjoy a night out, without drinking than you have a problem. Drugs are the same, they should add another dimension to the night, but the enjoyment of the night should not rely on the taking of drugs.
Anyway . . . back to the music.
A young artist who is reguarly blowing crowds away in England is Andy Whitby, he plays hard house, bouncy hard house and hard trance all infused with technical wizardy and catchy accapellas. He famously mixed 4 promo cds, aptly named AW1, AW2, AW3 and AW4, and sent these out to various promoters, one of the AW3 cds landed on Will Paterson (head promoter of Frantic)desk and he immediately signed him as a frantic resident. Anyway, the list of accolades is ridiculous, however one term that stands out, is the saviour of hard house, a term he constanly lives up to.
To cut a long story short, he recently after months of work released AW5, which cen be downloaded for free at his home page http://www.andywhitby.com/aw5 - enjoy
Andy Whitby fucking rocks, I look forward to him coming out here again soon.

Events
15th September
Hard Kandy - Nik Fish (a sentimental favourite, if he plays hardstyle not so good, if he pumps some good hard trance, will be a wicked night, support from the regular kandy djs)
24th November
Slinky - Marcel Woods and Johan Gielen (yet to be to a slinky event should be done well, Gielen is a trance energy resident, love his tune with svenson "twisted", fairly trancey and techy not sure what to expect. Woods very techy, worth going just to hear him drop advanced)
24-26th November
Earthcore - Mark EG and Nick Sentience (never been to earthcore but know enough that it always delivers, plethora of acts and dj's. Mark EG, hard techno, hardstyle nutter! heard stories of him smashing vinyl and breaking beer bottles on his head, grab tidy - music for a harder generation 4, to get hear what hes sounds like, have seen sentience twice, first time was good, second time at pharmacy lost the crowd at the start, then dropped some anthems and people went nuts, then sort of lost it at the end, i think he vj's as well, a la ilogik, also ventures into psy trance, will be interesting, odds are he will deliver.

Hoovers and rave sirens are all very well but... I dunno. It would appear that if the the genre has moved on at all, it hasn't moved in a direction I like. There were a couple of bits I liked. (Legend B - Lost in Love, circa 2001)
I totally understand where yoor coming from, I've listened to the demo a couple of times and I agree some of it is too hooverish, too bouncy and tad too hectic.
However I am yet to see him live, but I would compare him to proteus (not in musical style obviously) because I have the pharmacy cd mixed by him and I rarely listen to it and never the whole cd, but seeing him live is another thing the most energetic set I have ever witnessed, unbelievable, anyone there would agree. I have seen some live footage of whitby and the crowd is the same, im positive live h e would be out of control and would live up to expectations.
My second point is that over the last couple of years, many djs and I won't name them, became obsessed with playing "intelligent music", "techno influenced" and "breaking new ground" and basically way too serious. where as Whitby went fuck that, bring back the energy and bring back the fun.
Thirdly, technically he is amazing, his technical skill is what he is renown for.
Finally, yes there is alot of old tunes, but people love it because it reminds them of the days when hard house first became big, back withn trade was massive, the start of the tidy label, and the first couple of tidy weekenders. For example I believe adagio for strings is way over done, but when sentience dropped tiesto's mix at pharmacy, everyone in the place had hands in the air, it was beautiful, so same with whitby they may sound old on his demo, but live they probably bring the roof down.
