- Wooden mid-size and pretty cold studio (i hate working with heat and machines and lights just give you more heat) , not very tall ceilling.
- A beautiful landscape, preferably with beach and nature and a lot of windows to look out.
- A full fridge with drinks both alcoholic and not alcoholic, possibly some weed mmmm not, weed always.
- A bed to cover my sexual needings/sleep ocasionally.
- A cage for male Laotian prostitutes, no one will even miss.
This is perfect, who wants an intricate modular synth that will get you mad before making a good sound.
The only thing i honestly need of that gear is the monitors and possibly the computer
fixed ;)

The "underground" part is a joke but i can understand him, if you compare him with the true Mainstream aka guetta or Tiesto he is at least different, no black singer vocals and farty basslines.
I like also how he refers to kids, that kids have done better music than you sir.
in his defense you kinda took what he said out of context. he means in terms of mixdown and mastering...where the levels and eqs sit in comparison to the previous track and the track played after.

I think so much of that is for wank factor alone, but in fairness every studio does it to some degree, however do I think his has a rather high ratio.
thats his new studio that was finished literally a week or two before those pics were taken

wou'd not say hard trance is completely dead. It has definitely changed a bit with most of the producers toning the aggressiveness down. The UK hard scene was always really bad tho. The difference between UK and the rest of Europe is much different in regards to their trance.
I think the biggest issue is that djs need to play songs from many genres. It is very easy to mix some harder trance tunes with some aggressive electronic stuff
I find this track almost what hard trance used to be. IT was badass and it was hard
Could easily mixed the more modern hard trance
Kenny Rogers
organ donors gonne soft :( another one failing to keep it up.
heres what the should be like:
Rodri Santos
BLurrrb Sofi Needs a Ladder is just the kind of electro that is causing so much pain to EDM , hard trance is dead, you can't find many people right now that sound relatively close to what Hard Trance used to be.
To listen to real hard trance listen to old Scot Project, Alphazone, Guyver... i loved it but trance slowing it's bpms and increasing the overall groove was something predictable. You can dance to something groovy wether you like it or not, has rythm, if you don't like hard trance or even that particular hard trance melody is less likely that you see yourself dancing and jumping.
However i think i've rarely/never found a hard trance track that wasn't at least decent, this is probably because hard trance is from the period when every relese was pressed in vinyl and the quality control was very very high in comparison to the current "signing politics"
Mad for Brad
i don't understand how anyone cannot find that track extremely badass and groovy. Even if you hate deadmau5. The song is fantastic and vocals are great. NO annoying ElectroHouse annoying chirps and pitch bend synths.
And palm, that remix was by SCot Project who pretty much invented Hard Trance but he keeps evolving and although his songs still pound, they are just more mature sounding and better overall. The form of that tune is great how he uses both melodic sections.
sicc
I most defiantly agree with Mr.Kenny Rogers on this one.
Mad for Brad
but it has been done. What is the point in repeating it.
