how would u desribe what nu-nrg is? is it like hard house?

Posted by breakdown on May-21-2001 01:08:

nu nrg.. the more 'happy' form of hard house
including
Lisa lashes
anne savage
fergie
Pants and corset
etc..

as opposed to the darker.. near techno form of hard house
i guess. =p

I dont really agree with it being the happier side of hard house. I find it to be darker and harder. Check out DJ's Madam Zu, Morgan, Super Fast OZ, and Kristan, there all prefect examples of Nu-Nrg Dj's. For almost 3 years all I listend to was Hard house and Nu-Nrg

Bouncy

Lashes, Fergie etc is hard house.

Tinrib, Oz & Kristian is hard nrg.

Nu nrg is the older hard trance style, Marmion 'Schoneberg', Jens 'Loops n Tings', Jones and Stephenson '1st Rebirth', Baby Doc 'Eurotic', Jon The Dentist 'Global Phases', Dream Plant 'Mighty Machine', Misjah And Tim 'Access' etc.

Posted by Special_K on May-21-2001 20:44:

Yep yep. Misjah And Tim 'Access' is the perfect NU-NRG Classic. To many people confuse NRG with UK hardhouse. Lisa Lashes in my opinion is one of the best Hardhouse DJ's around, along with some of the Nukleuz crew like BK, Nick Sentience, and Ed Real.

my theory: The harder the faster the better

Posted by breakdown on May-21-2001 21:20:

alrite.. another dispute on genres..
lol
.... i think tAs should just give up on trying to discuss genres..

Posted by lesung on May-22-2001 01:09:

yeAh i agree with yevat
and really good song that descrbibes nu -nrg is like modulas and rubec - dont waste my time...

Posted by mute79 on May-22-2001 01:23:

instead of classifying genres, we should classify TAs
lol

Posted by breakdown on May-22-2001 01:32:

classify TAs?? how? hehe

Posted by mute79 on May-22-2001 01:35:

house TAs, 3rd class citizens
progressive, 2nd
uplifting, 1st
lol, dont worry, im not crazy, its just that the weekend has taken its toll...

Posted by breakdown on May-22-2001 01:41:

lol.. alrite.. i thought u'd reached insanity for a moment there

Posted by mute79 on May-22-2001 01:45:

Posted by Special_K on May-22-2001 01:50:

whoa... clarification

ok... well for the past 2 years i have been spinning what is known as the uk hard house, nu-nrg genre. and it seems like no one has hit it on the nose just yet. as Dj's go Lisa lashes, Superfast oz, morgan, fergie and all the other ones that were mentioned spin a variety of the two. Someone the classification between the two can be very blurry. But something that generally has hoovers or a sort of acid synth line can be classified under Uk hard house. The hoover is what brought around the uk hard house sound. Nu Nrg is based more upon hard hitting synths then the hoover, however nu nrg can also have the hoover intergrated into the song. The best example of a nu nrg song is probably Madam Zu - Junction 13. This is one of the clearest cut songs on this line. As for uk hard house, there are many forms of the sort. First the bouncy type of uk hard house, for example Lisa Pin Up's Another jam is a clear cut example. Darker uk hard house includes the acts of OD404 (Which superfast oz is a part of actually) and Bulldozer for example. The hoover end of uk hard house can include that of Justin Bourne - In Effect and Captain Tinribs - Save The Rave. This is a classic example of old skewl uk hard house. To make things even more intersting a genre of free form mixes some happy hardcore with nu nrg, however i am not too familier with this sub catagory. If you would like to find further information about this subject check out www.bangingtunes.com they have the sub catagories listed there and some real player examples for you to hear. Hope this clears up some things!

Long live hard house!
