Doctor Dave wrote:Yeah, this is why I've become more active in the techno scene recently, all the DJs can mix, 20+ year old tracks still fit in, the music is diverse and the female DJs / artists aren't sexualised (and there's a lot of them compared to HS)

Plus the music is made for dancing! No 3 minute breaks and 25s of beats, like the producers are ashamed of their own productions and would rather just be making emo pop or w/e

^can nothing but agree with your entire post, basically every point you make is one of the reasons i'm slowly starting to prefer techno to hs lately

Just wait until you discover ambient techno!

But I have to agree with almost everything above me. Yet it's still hard to "break up" with hardstyle, I'm just unable to stop following new stuff

This is an excellent question! I wanted to write a huge analysis on this, but maybe another day

Old tunes can fit anywhere if you think carefully enough on where to place them, but people can't be fucked doing it much anymore and use the "it sounds shit" excuse.

Who said that though? It's quite the generalisation of "artists" to just claim that, don't you think, mate?

Sadly, that's not true, but you might not have seen it and that's a good sign.

Depends on the scene, the event and the audience of course I personally care because I wanna have fun and challenge the audience. Sometimes I go too far and that's on me then.

Ah, that's a shame, I guess at least it isn't that blatant then, like Stephanie must be on the verge of starting an Onlyfans judging by her own facebook posts

Some of those conversations were private so I can't share but it is something probably 10-12 artists have told me over the years - which I obviously don't agree with hence my post
