there's a website called Screamer Hardstyle, he has an ftp but its bloody hard to connect to, consider yourself lucky if you get a chance to download from it.
Hardstyle is absolutely wicked!! I think it would be great to mix in a hard-trance set. Hearing it in a club will blow you away!!!, its wicked to dance to also.
dont forget:
dj isaac
warmduscher (yes hardstyle)
dj angy dee
kai tracid (yes hardstyle)

hardstyle right at this moment on ID&T radio.. www.id-t.com

hell yah! id-t.com going off right now with q-dance and dj pila

i love this stuff

anyway... listen to me mamma.. *Doev Doev Doev*

Check out stuff on the Wicked and Dance Pollution labels as well.
And this thread over on the ID-T forums is full of wicked tracks...

anyone else agree that hardstyle producers HAVE to get rid of those awful, crunching, hardcore-style sounds in their tracks??

can you explain why you think its shitty?? big breaks without a beat? what the hell do you think trance has?? hehehe no flame intended bro.
its the beat coming back after a break that gets everybody jumpin!
i actually think hardstyle is a big impovement on hardcore. cmon, there's not alot you can do with music at 160bpm. plus most hardstyle i hear is more diverse than alot of hardcore, more variety of sounds, beats etc. nobody can listen to kick+snare and a siren for more than an hour without wanting to scream

hardstyle thread.. excellent...

I'm a fan of hardstyle myself, but trance still rules my world. It seems you like it or you hate it, no road between it. I think hardstyle started to exist when alot of partypeople in holland wanted something harder on the parties.. remember alot of these peeps have a hardcore background, and were forced to go to tranceparties and stuff, which they usually found way to soft... the biggest organiser of hardstyleparties in holland, q-dance, jumped into the whole and grew ENORMOUSLY this year.. it really seems like everyone needed a style like this (allthough it existed longer).
q-dance is a subdivision of id&t(organiser of parties such as mysteryland, trance energy, sensation etc. etc.) and has a number of djs under contract.

to name a bunch: bas & ram, luna, pavo, technoboy, dana, isaac, warmduscher, gary D, sunny D, derb, hennes & cold. some say kai tracid is hardstyle too, and allthough he playes alot of banging tunes, I personally don't want to call that hardstyle (like ik ALOT though ).

the biggest hardstyle-event of the year is qlimax. the upcoming event is expected to gather 15.000 people. the great feeling of hardstyle is best expressed on a HUGE soundsystem. it REALLY makes you go ABSOLUTELY WILD!

one of the most played songs on hardstyle parties:

kai tracid - trance and acid (derb remix) (can't believe no-one mentioned this one befor, try to imagine it on full power )
cosmic gate - the truth (dj isaac remix) ==>> just about THE best example of what hardstyle is I can come up with now

other songs I can come up with right now:
sensation - the anthem (dana remix)
giada - .... (technoboy remix)
donkey rollers - strike again

personally I think hardstyle will be dead within a year from now on, except if the producers start to be more original... since most songs are the same.. same heavy bass and stuff..
like I said, like it for 1 partynight, but definately not every week.

because many hardstyle tracks have the same melodies as old hardcore songs and da hardcore tracks sounded a lot better...
but maybe it's useless to say from me...'cause most of da artists you mentioned are excelent,but u now in da commercial area da shits are played...most of italian hardstyle are poor...
