It’s gotta be done :slight_smile:



Who’s +1 do I have?

2

plus 1 with conditions


  1. it’s not bounce/scouse house
  2. its not Nrg/ Fin Nrg
  3. its not happy hardcore
  4. its not Filth
  5. its not 50% of the hardhouse currently being released



    other than those simple rules i would love it, lol i know it sounds like a lot but i would only really enjoy hearing something similar to Bk’s level of production there are soooooo many hard dance producers atm that completely wrecked that genre for me.



    !WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING!



    IT TAKES MORE THAN A DISTORTED KICK, OFF BEAT BASSLINE AND REPEATING HOOVER SAMPLE TO MAKE HARDDANCE!!!



    PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM THE FRUITY LOOPS!!!



    JOKE :stuck_out_tongue:

+10 from me lol, i’ve been asking for it ever since i joined SA :slight_smile:



just don’t make it that ****e that they call hard dance now, it’s more like hardstyle with bleeps and burps, rolling basslines etc. I’ll be the first to admit i’m stuck in a timewarp when it comes to hard house, the best years were easily 2001-2004.

I agree with you Matt, hard house was best around that time.Lisa Lashes and the Tidy boys all made great compilations that i still listen to. Any tutorial on par with stuff that they would play gets my vote.

hard dance to me was all the tracks and dj’s that didn’t want to be pigeon holed into either hardtrance or hardhouse. it was around 2000-2001 most dj’s started calling themselves harddance djs :slight_smile:

This one please!



Jon most that you posted were classic hard house, thing is, anyways, burning up was made back in the mid 90s and still has that ‘housey’ feel, it was back in the Trade days when hard house originated and progressed more and more away from house. Today you can’t even see a similarity at all, weird huh.



Anyways



here is more BK genius, actually you know what, i should have said in my post: HTSL BK (hard dance)

hehe :slight_smile:



BK - Revolution (above)



BK - Bad ***















I also nearly posted: Breather - Come On (Prime Mover Mix), i know that Jon will agree, top top tune!
