Best Hardstyle tunes?

Arome - Hands Up! (Yoji Biomehanika Remix) has been my favorite hardstyle tune since i got my hands on it a looong time ago. Still haven't heard anything since that beats it, whats your favs?

You mean Hennes & Cold - The Second Trip (DJ Scot Project Remix)? Not hardstyle either way.

Correct, it is a Hard Style
Then I'll go w/ Psycho Hardstylers - The Game

Yoji Biomehanika - Hardstyle Disco (Original Mix) or (Trance Generators Remix)

Either mix, this is one of my favorite hardstyle tunes ever. Familiar hardstyle kick but the melody is what really sets apart IMO.

Astral Projection & Infected Mushroom is Psy/Goa and has nothing to do with hardstyle afaik.

It's kind of a mash-up genre IMO. It has elements similar to hard trance, hard house, and hardcore.

Usually employs a very hard kick and hard bass, lots of drops and filters. I prefer some of the lighter hardstyle and some of the more trancey hardstyle.

EDIT: Might as well add some more tunes that I like, though they may be a bit old.

Lady Tom - Into My Mind
Busted - Tricky Tricky (Paranoid Remix)
K-Traxx - Hardventure (Technoboy Remix)
DJ Gius - Puffganger (Giada Remix)
Bazztard - Diz You Right Now (Sam Punks Bazz Party Club Mix)
Gary D - Four Iz Ther Number
Black Phaze - Lost Secret (Virus Inc Remix)

Check out the description in Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music v2 -> http://www.di.fm/edmguide/

I'm listening to some of it on Ishkur right now..... I'm not really into gabber or hardcore anymore..... brings back memoires though.

most of that stuff isnt really hardstyle. DHHD is hardstyle, dj luna, dj dana. DHHD - Funky Shit is a badass tune

That track don't really compromise the sounds of Hardstyle..
If you listen carefully and compare to other EDM genres. I Think it's likely to fit in between Tech-Trance And German Techno.

Hardstyle is that random genre that's always giving excuses to people that is not the slower version of Rotterdamn Gabber/Hardcore.
The Elements used, mainly the bassdrums and Darksynths tells us how similar both rival genres are.

www.Recess.nl has the largest hardstyle vinyl collection. Almost every track has samples attached. One thing about it is that they don't declare it as hardstyle instead its hardhouse.

hmm lol some ppl sure dont know what hardstyle is..

Posted by raku on Dec-19-2004 17:04:

in ~2 years listening to hardstyle "luna - mindspace" is the best i've heard.

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Dec-19-2004 17:54:

Hardstyle sucks. It's basically hardcore sounds around a hard trance structure with a hard as fuck kickdrum.

That said, Organ Donars- What's Up? is my favourite.

Fucking hardstyle dominates the clubscene in Holland, it really makes me sick... Agressive atmoshere in clubs and brainless people. Hardstyle in Holland is kinda like what RnB is in the States, all wannabe's. BTW: Many RnB wannabe's too here...

Most people don't and even most producers don't because hardstyle goes in many directions within the EDM-genre. It has also many different names appart from hardstyle (hardbass, hardhouse, jump...)

Names like Jump and Hardhouse are in fact completely wrong because both names belong to completely different genres. The reason for this is because some labels use it kinda as a sub-name which forces other labels to choose another one.

I've ben into Hardstyle for quite some time, but the releases followed eachother up to fast and to much crap surfaced so that I eventually had to drop it, I listen from time to time to sets but you won't see me anymore spending money on hardstyle CD's.

If u want some rly good hardstyle, try Lady Tom aa The Queen of Hardstyle. In Goliath Tour 2004 there is two CD's. One by Dj Snowman (really good) and one by Lady Tom (Fuckin good!) U dont find better Hardstyle on this planet than what she makes.

Dark by design - severe punishment

I used to play that sort of stuff before it got called hardstyle. When trance went a bit meh in 1999 started playin stuff on overdose, traccid traxx etc. Hardstyle is such a rubbish name tho, n it became well cheesy. Its hard trance really. Thats what it used to be called anyway. Until tidy trax decided they'd call some of there melodic hardhouse hard trance then this hard style thing came about. Best HArd Trance track would be, well there are loads of golden oldies, scot p - future is now, asys - acid nightmare, scot p - overdrive, theres more but i havent listen to them in so long i cant remember.
