hi, I really love this kind of music, but it will not be the next big thing. For me these are only the remains of the old hardtrance scene from '95. The #5 mix for example starts with a track that was released 1995 on Master Maximum Trance Records....
it's just too fast for today, nobody lets me spin this stuff at any party |
Well some DJs like Tilzs, Kevin Energy and Sharkey seem to be developing a pretty good following spinning this style. I agree that it is a little fast for dancing, but personally I LOVE dancing to it... I just dance to it at half speed, every second beat.. the same way I dance to Jungle/DnB. Most Freeform tracks have cymbal crash/highhat/snare every second beat that you can focus on while dancing instead of every single beat.
I'm remaining optimistic about the future of Freeform. I'm just starting out as a DJ and I'm planning on starting out my sets slower with Hard Trance (140-150 bpm) and then climbing up into Freeform speeds (160-170 bpm), like Kevin Energy did in his Adrenalin set. I don't think I would ever spin 180 bpm or higher like some Freeform DJs too... that's just a little too crazy even for me.
