Handsup, describe that style for me.
I've recently heard the style Handsup being mentioned, but what is this style, what does it sounds like and foremost how do I produce tracks in that style?

I agree.
As if the music isn't already divided enough already. Gawd, how I wish we could go back to when it was just "techno".
Handsup = Euphoric = Anthem = Epic
It's all trance music that is fomulated around a huge buildup.
I'm certainly not calling it bad music. But the least one can do is call it was it really is and quit frontin' like they discovered something new.

Not so far. Just put it in the context of a hard trance kick and bassline. Personally, I roll my eyes when producers take the epic trance formula and style, add a hard trance bassline and kick, and say that it's somehow "better" or "far away" from epic. Seriously, you're going to have to do better than that.
