Hard Dance Thread 2
Im going to attempt to bring back a thread dedicated to hard dance, covering suct topics as upcoming events, cds, reviews and anything else hard dance related. Please refrain from just hanging shit on hard dance and hard dance djs, cheers.
Why have a separate thread for hard dance taubs? Why not just post events, or CD review/comments or anything else in individual threads? Why is it different to anything else?
good point, I suppose if I put a different thread each time I wanna talk about hard dance, in my past experience, the only comments are those proclaiming how much GBH it requires to enjoy hard dance and how all the djs are coked up. Where as if I announce this is a hard dance thread, for only constructive or engaging cooments, the out come may be different.
Being a massive hard dance fan, and a self confessed hard adnce nerd, i also like the idea of an intelligent forum dedicated to hard dance.
Just wrote a 300 word review of pharmacy and fucking closed the window, cbf, do it tomorrow.
Totally agree with you mate. Not everyone out there that listens to hard dance is stomping around frosted off their face with a 10 ml charge at the ready. 
hard dance and hard trance ftw!
not a fan of hardstyle but each to their own.
cant wait for the next pharmacy! derb 
also has gaz gone to a more hardstyle sound or is he still playing similar stuff to a few years ago ?
Hardstyle is not music lol.

| Originally posted by chubbs I wouldn't say that it's a full hardstyle sound, but it's definitely far from as uplifting as his sound used to be. This is reflected in his recent productions as well (remix of Boot It Up, Money Shot, Hate, a lot of the tunes on his Producer Series album). |
he used to be awesome. still keen to check him out tho

Ok this is my review of pharmacy - our law
first up the djs
Tonka vs T2 - didn't see them play
Dr Willis vs Scott Alert - didn't see them play either
Ninth Insight(Master Kaos vs LCK) - heard last half hour, playing some sweet uplifting hard trance song the moment I walked in, so I ran to the dance floor and started going nuts, they also played Derb - Staisfaktion, Yakooza - Cocaine (Scot Project remix) and they finished with that Penguin rock track, which is nuts. From what I heard they were pretty good, but they tend to spend too much time and ruin too many tracks with excessive scratching and effects, and it takes away from the flow and energy of the tracks.
Nik Fish - I decided to rest for his set, so I stood and the balcony and watched, he opened with, Walt - let the Music Play, which had the desired effect, with the dance floor going nuts. The rest of his set was mostly hits with some misses, the majority of the tracks being hardstyle. He played a pink panther hardstyle track, which I thought sounded ok, but most people around me thought was cheesey and he finished with a hip hop track which was different.
Kutski - this was the man I had come to see, and he was phenomenal, I have not danced this hard in so long. Kutski played mostly hard trance and hardstyle, event though he can play hard house, hip-hop, tech-trance, happy hard core and gabba. Kutski did some sweet scratching, which was used sparingly and to good effect. However Kutski's biggest strength is his ability to mix parts of tracks together, a bassline from one, a build up of another and the melody of something else, means he creates these little ten minute buildup/journeys that are insane, add his innovativness, the switching back and forth btween the original tainted love melody and the hardstyle version, brilliant. From what I can remmber he played, Anne Savage, VinyleGroover and the Red Hed - The Pod, Derb - Satisfaktion, Meteor 7 - Universal Sound (Scot Project Remix) and Walt & Feliz - Smoke Machine.
The Organ Donors - I had planned to hear the start of these guys and then head to the other rooms, as I have heard a few of their live sets and had not been impressed. Man, did I underestimate them! They were insane, they had their twisted little intro and from then on it was just mayhem, I was too exhuasted from kutski, so I jsut stood there waving my arms. Scott (i think) is obviously more technically skilled, with some wicked scratching skills, fuck me, he is good. Then Scot interacting with the crowd and turning them into a frenzy, but he still has skills with that effects box? he is nuts. From memory they played, Marcel Woods - Advanced (OD edit?), 4 Strings - Into the Night (that new tech remix one), Sean Tyas - Lift(i think, probably wrong on that one), Tiesto - Lethal Industry (derb remix?), Organ Donors - 99.9 (2007 remix), Vinylgroover and the Red Hed - Live for the Weekend (OD remix) and Technotronic - Pump up the Jam (Organ Donors vs Alex Kidd)
DJ Misjah/Dyewitness - I was worried for this DJ as I had heard he was playing electro and house these days, and if he played that, the floor would be empty with in 5 mins, but not to worry, he rocked! I could only watch from the balcony where I had chossen to rest. But he carved it up, with some old school hardcore and hard trance which the crowd was loving. I managed to get back down to hear Masterplan which with help from to Nik Fish's drunken encourgaement the crowd went insane, hands in the air style.
Hellraiser - pharmacy's main man was late, Master Kaos and LCK started for him, but sorry boys there is only one guy who can finish a pharmacy party off and that is Hellraiser. And he was as brutal as ever, with my mate (my old supervisor from work who's married, what a champ he loved it!) commenting that 'this stuff is evil', yes it was. As satisfying as it was, my legs could no longer move and it was time to head home.
Overall another fantastic pharmacy party as always, a couple of comments.
- the crowd good as always, full of characters the majority very friendly.
- lights and lasers pretty good, i want more strobe (but thats cause im obsessed with them), the laser image of the naked chick behind the djs added very little.
- what was with the three advertised rooms being squeezed into one, the place was packed as always.
- i am sure the flyer said primal people performance, where was it? its always wicked and a good talking point or a good way to freak out people who haven't been tp pharmacy before.
Any other comments, opinios, tracks? Do it
sounds like it was a good night

More strobe you say!
Organ Donors fucking destroyed the place.
Best set I've ever seen them play I reckon.
Kutski was awesome too, mashing up Automatic DJ'z - Mad Lay Number Three and Tainted Love.

yeah whitby goes off
Trevor McLachlan at 3D, 27th of April, is nice.
Been producing some sweet tunage as of late, good mates with Phil Reynolds, the man who started my hard trance obsession.
I saw Organ Donors when they came in 2005, they were good apart from one bit of their set that was SHITHOUSE!
Easter Pharmacy will be off the hooooooooook

A little look at the upcomg pharmacy - F*cking Hostile
First all kudos to Pharmacy for the seperating the trance and hard stuff. Im sure most people would agree (whether you like hard dance or not) that Pharmacy is one of, if not the most successful promotion/party in Australia, running now for 7 years and constantly bringing out quality international acts time and time again.
However a couple of the past events have featured trance Djs (ottavani, randy katana) and trance fans have been less than excited about going to see an hour of trance surrounded by hours hard dance, hence this is a great iniative by Pharmacy.
Black Room
Dark by Design(live) - expect lots of his more popular productions, and lots of bootlegs and remixes (believe he has done a remix of Push - strange world, recently) apparently a great performer, be prepared for lots of bass, some catchy meldoies and lots of energy.
DJ Pila & the scientist - apparently this guy is one of the leading forces behind the dutch hardstyle sound, (whether thats a good thing or not is up to you), haven't heard him before, but should be hard and nasty
Dj Isaac - apparently the cheesier side of hardstyle, but still plays some amaxing events, defqon one, q-base, so he should deliver
Derb - saw him play last year and he rocked, expect some old stuff and some new stuff, steers away from hardstyle and tends to keep dropping hard dance and hard trance bombs all night.
White room
I know of Mark Norman and Kyau & Albert, but I think other people would be better suited to describe their styles ans performances.
