I'm not a big fan of hard house....too much bass, can't get dancing to it. Thats just my opinion, so please be nice.

Paul Glazby? RR Fierce? Ian M? Casper? If they dont ring a bell and you say you've not heard any good hard house lately then go listen to some of the above artists/labels recent stuff. You'll notice its not "watered down" and that theres actually been ALOT of good releases in the last 6 months. mostly from VC.

Ozzie, you may live and breathe the UK hard dance scene but the fact is a lot of people think its just endless rehashes. I don't know about the hard house scene because I much prefer techno but recent releases from Tidy such as Resonate 3 and Extreme Euphoria have been a bit predictable. Some people like a bit of originality.

You're right,

However i've always thought of the Resonate series as shit anyway and most Tidy stuff now is too trancey and ends up sounding all the same, i dont remember the last time they released a real hard house track, its all hard trance from them now. The only decent Euphoria is Disc 2 of the new one, mixed by BK, quality hard house and techno on one CD!

You only heard of Extreme Euphorias cos their more commercial, go listen to the Vicious album (called Vicious, believe it or not) then you'll see hard house isnt as predictable as you think AND if you do like techno you'll most likely love the Vicious album, as theres quite a bit of it on there.

I like hard house but never considered myself a hard house addict. I'm just stick of the way that most deejays have gone. I'm not about harder and faster, I just want quality stuff. I've stayed away from the tidy label cept for the tidy boys cd's. I'm a big fan of BK and will check out his stuff soon.

If u buy it from vicious-circle.net u get the vinyl of Sentience's remix of Hostile included. or u can just buy it from wherever n u enter a code from the CD case on the VC site n they send it u.

i used to like hard house and have old older nucleuz and tidy records. when i listen to it know, it friggen annoys me. it makes me quivver thinking how i listened to it in the first place

Originally posted by one.tjc watered down?? well you definately need to stop checking tidy out tidy trax and have at look at http://www.vicious-circle.net/ and www.qualitytrax.net/ ... or just find a rock big enuff to hide under.. - seems you have already although i agree that the hardhouse dj's are gaining a techier edge, but thats progress for you anywho, as for tunes, nick sentience is the one to watch, his new record label quality trax is nearly ready to start pumping out some good new stuff - heard that he's doing a mix of 'he never lost his harcore' - definately looking forward to that one oh and 'afrotekno' and 'imaginate' are set to be absolutley massive also his new album Universal Language is gonna be released early 2004 - set to be brill with a totally different and unexpected showcase. i'd also be keeping an eye out for glazby as his hard edge is gonna get a grinding with some upcoming tunes anyways, thats all i can think of at the moment.. so before calling the scene watered down, look beyond the usual suspects [ie guyver is not the bomb - hes crap (i mean, he remixs ian van dahl for fucks sakes!)]

Guyver shit? Muhahahaha U nob face. Hes fucking mint.

what are some good hh livesets to listen to?

.... yessss guyver is mint... then again- so is ian van dahl

admittedly he has potential - but its shamefully wasted at tidy

would love to hear who thinks guyver is better than glazby or Bk, wouldnt you?

we are all entitled to our opinion -

but yeah, i agree with ozzie that tidys comp's are going downhill

but in the coming months, big things are going to be happening record label wise [hint hint].. you'll see.
