Here it is, this might be the last Early Hardcore video I do for YouTube.
The story of the oldschool period of Hardcore House during 1992-1996 has been told. After making 8 videos, many of them turned out to be quite hard and agressive. Although this was my main style during the mid-nineties, I also play a lot of other genres. During the last 15 years I switched my style many, many times. So it’s almost time now for the next era (1995-2000) bringing some Club-Trance and Happy sounds.
The next series of videos will be more about the trancy club feel with less underground noises but crazy tunes and popular melodies. (more…)
This time I wanna show you where Live Acts and DJ’s meet on stage, because there seems to be no real difference between them anymore today. DJ’s and producers are all using the same gear and software and are making equal music in order to create a non-stop mix. Live acts used to be stripped down live bands, using studio gear as instruments, but nowadays much instruments (and band members) are replaced by virtual software instruments within a laptop. (more…)
While I play and mix almost everyday at a seriously loud volume, it was just a matter of time before people started complaining. I know my beloved music (Techno, Hardhouse and Oldschool House) sounds pretty annoying when you’re not in the same room freaking, like my neighbours for example. When I’m doing some DJ mixing the music changes a lot, making it less uncomfortable for any listeners next door. But making loops or samples during producing can be quite repetitive and sound very irritating. Especially when I work with loud bassdrums, overdriven hardcore sounds and distorted synths. (more…)
