Quebec

GROOVY/DIRTY Hard House

I had the chance to see/heard him on december 30th alongside Deadmau5 here ine Quebec and I have to be honest.....It was AWFUL !!!!! Oh my god, how do you dance on Dubstep ??? I could see young kids jumping in front of the stage..... and all of us, old school ravers (being 30 and over) were talking at the back of the room, waiting for Deadmau5 to play...

Didn't like taht at ALL !!!! Ain't my cup of tea....sorry...they won't get me in their bandwagon...impossible to dance, all you can do is jump...reminds me old punk metal music. Oh and yeah I even saw people trashing in front of the stage ???? and doing body surfing.... pistols

Don't mind some of his stuff myself, not a huge fan though.

Incidentally, he played a hardstyle track in one of his sets recently, albeit slowed down a bit. The outrage that followed has convinced me of what you all have been trying to tell me for the past 6 years - 90% of hardstyle fans are retards laughing

really dont understand how people find it soo hard to "get" tbh, dupstep can be amazing music, just becuase you cant dance to it in the same style as hard dance, etc doesnt mean its crap, you dont get the same thing with dnb

Thats not to say theres isint alot of crap out there, skrillex isnit proper dupset imo, i hate how commical its went and how its infucening every other style atm

Its just noise like already said, cant knock some of the production ideas, some amazing sounds but its just got no soul. Alright for a laugh when your pissed in a club though.

Some of the production is unreal with dub-step it's just a shame that the end product to me sounds rubbish.I just dont get how teenagers will listen to this dribble in clubs for hours but dont like hardhouse.
They all just need to man up and listen to some proper hard music violent

Totally agree with this!

The only thing dubstep has going for it is production value. I'm all for well produced music but only when the end product is worth it.... most dubstep has no groove or proper rhythm to it, or any real musicality for that matter.

Your taxes, my booze.

Yeah you lot are right. I went into the Dubstep room at Beaverworks one this years NYE, and I have to say the music sounded fucking amazingly crisp, but you cannot dance to the shit. I was literally stood there with my hands by my side wondering what the fuck I should do with myself other than watch my two drugged up mates bounce all over the shop. I longed to go back into the rave room where it was playing some psy-acid nrg shit. frown

To be fair though, most hard house has little musical value as well? I've always been a big fan of hard house but surely you can see that apart from a few tracks with real composition value, (The Dawn etc) that it is just rhythmic noise?

thats true to some extent but at least it has a 4x4 bassline that you can dance to.I personally could happily just dance to a pumping bassline for hours.I remember Ian.M at insomniacz once and he played 3 vinyls in a row and none of them had breakdowns was just virtually raw pumping bass

Saw Skrillex at Brixton Academy this weekend before Shogun at Cable, both the set and the visuals were top drawer. Even peeps not into dance music couldnt get enough of it!

Dont know who considers him shit or not but hardcore dnb and dub heads who were with me also thought he completely killed it and the entire arena was heaving the entire time!

Skrillex more like shittex lol, heard a mix of his on radio 1 otherday whilst cruising, what i heard was 10minutes of mess tbh, mixed far to many tracks together in a short space of time , the basslines were ok, fair enough but all the tunes just sounded the same to me. Musically the mix didnt flow naturally, it cant if your mixing in and out every 2 minutes, just stands out to the ear to much. he seems abit over rated, probably use's ableton live to doctor his mix's anyway like all the other dubstep wannabe's who claim to be a dj yet never touched a real set of decks in there life. and apparently you dont dance to dubstep you sway wtf.
