HardHouse VS Trance

what do the tranceaddicts like most? personally i prefer hard house. also wot category would dj kim jet lag (alpha zone remix) come under? (hard house or trance)

Hardhouse is dead
also that tune is hard trance

I think that all who listen to and play hard house need to attend a musical re-education course. It's terible, the playground of un-talented producers who jumped on a bandwagon which now thankfully has stopped.
I think all those people who abandoned trance in 2001 in favour of hard house should ashamed of themselves.
Sorry to sound harsh but I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hard house

Hard House reminds me of Rave/Hardcore, and all it is, is music without emotion and build up. Tidy Boys can kiss my arse

Trance all the way baby. No hardhouse/trance (hardstyle) for me anymore. I stopped listening to it quite a while ago. It became boring very quick. For me everything from Dumonde and Cosmic Gate to Scot Project and Hennes & Cold to the real hardstyle like Technoboy, Dana and Pavo... it's too simple and monotonous for me. That doesn't mean I wouldn't go crazy in a club when they spin their tunes, but I prefer the 'softer' music.

I listen to various styles nowaydays, but mostly trance, progressive and techno (e.g. Mr. Sam, Ti�sto, Armin van Buuren, Filterheadz, Lexicon Avenue, James Holden, Oxia, The Hacker). Much more my style.

right then. i will change the question to HARD TRANCE VS NON HARD TRANCE

I do like hard trance, but proper hard trance like Norman DJ - Go back.
But my passion/obsession has always been the softer trance i.e Chicane, Solar Stone, York, Ferry, Tiesto, Armin, Flash etc etc etc

Hard house ain't dead.Just cos Tidy Trax with their nauseating hoover hell seems to get all the attention nowadays doesn't mean that the genre is bust.Check out the likes of OD404,BK & Nick Sentience,Knuckleheadz and labels like Tripoli Trax and Nukleuz to get a glimpse of the good stuff.

As always,I like hardhouse as long as it is creative and not the same-old same-old hoover and blaring synth-boshing,like Tidy Trax and Sundissential keep churning out these days.

Hmm i prefer trance. But i do like a bit of hard house...

also i dont think people really understand what hard house is.. i mean for example. the fact that u just asked could Jet Lag possibly be hard house proves u dont really no what it is. And i see that a lot nowadays, people mistaking Hard House for Hard Trance. There is a major differece. I always recommend people listen to the Hard House Euphoria sereies and the Tidy Boys and Tidy Girls Annual to get a good idea what its all about. I dont think its dead, but trance is better

Tidy bashing

I think u got it wrong when u accuse tidy of putting out "synth bashing hoovers"..its not like that anymore..just check out guyver/riot bros new offering..as well as the freak

And also i think its important to keep an open mind..6 months ago i wouldnt have given a BK tune ANY attention..but now i think twice..Revolution was awesome and was even included in one of ferry corsten's sets during his 4 hour show with armin earlier this year..it all depends on how it can fit in a set and what affect it could have on the crowd when played/positioned correctly..music is fusing..hard,uplifting,techy,breaks..when put together by talented producers the combination is exciting and dancefloor devastating!!

Cheers

Hard house ranks up there with black metal as the music genre I despise the most. Absolute rubbish, polution to my ears.

Well,the last comp I heard from Tidy was full of those synth mashers that I described,but I've heard good things about Guyvver and Riot Bros. over the last few weeks...so I'll check it out.Thanks for the heads upTotally agree with the other things you said...open-mindedness is the key!

like both


(thats all i can realy say)

Im mainly into hard trance / hard style i.e. yoji biomehanika, scot project, fluctlicht, shokk, dumonde, cosmic gate.I hated the old hardhouse all hoovers and shit and the off beat bass but the new stuff can be mint stuff like BK revolution its getting some techno elements and is starting to sound more grown up

haha well put|

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I like both, but I really prefer hard trance, I'd say that I listen to hard trance 95% of the time as opposed to hard house.
Flutlicht, Shokk, Alphazone, etc.

However I don't think that people give Nick Sentience the credit that he deserves, its kinda funny to see people so taken aback by BK all of a sudden, he and Nick have worked together on several tracks.

Nick Sentience & BK - Flash
Nick Sentience & BK - Injected w/ a Poison
Nick Sentience & BK - Soundman

Flash being my favorite outta the three.

Oh well just my opinion on the subject, nothing more, nothing less.

small correction

Ope!!!! You are right, good eye!

i play hard house and some hard trance
personally, i love hard house
playing it just gives me a rush
the raw energy and all that while people go off to your tunes
it's just amazing

i think it's an accquired taste

for good hard house, check out honeypot
that label is the best for any hard style tune
that's what label i'm going to be buying from the most from now on

tidy used to be all about the over-use of hoovers... personally, i don't like it
i know, being a hard house dj, i should like hoovers, but over-use of the hoover can become sick

but lately tidy has been releasing some decnet tunes
usually though i stick with nukleuz and honeypot mainly

my style is all about the rolling bassline... it just sounds so good on a big party system

okie dokie, you may now flame away
/me puts on flame retardant suit

I used to play Hardhouse when I first started spinning,,, mainley because it was the first style of electronic music I was introduced to here in Vancouver. I guess I baught about 150 hardhouse and some hard trance records,,, and they're all awesome records,,, at least better than any of the records that hardhouse dj's stil play in this city. But honestly,,, once I started learning more about music and actually paying attention to trance and progressive,,, it just doesn't compare in my eyes. Sure it's fun to listen once in awhile,,, and there's no denying the energy you can get from a crowd that is into it,,, but trance and progressive IMO is so much nicer to listen to and so much more of an 'intellegent sound'. It's not that I don't like my hardhouse records anymore,, it's just that I have 300 other trance and progressive records that I'd play over the hardhouse. I like spinning trance and progressive because you can actually take people on a journey and see the emotion that your set creates,,, as opposed to mindless BANG BANG BANG BANG (although like I said it can be fun at times).

Hard House has to be the most VILEST music I have heard! Same goes for hard trance. Just my opinion!

trance > the stuff that comes out my ass > hard house.

Please don't get me started on this hardhouse 'phenomenon'

Seeing as the genres are subbing themselves more and more, here my take:

Hard House (Ingo, Tidy Boys) = boring shite
Hi-NRG Trance (Nick Sentience, Marcos) = I likey, but only some.
Hard Trance (Flutlicht, Scot P) = My daddy at the mo, LOVE IT!!
Trance House (Ralphie B, Rank 1) = My first love.
Trance House (Tiesto, Riva) = Too slow for my tastes.

That is my music according to me
