[21/11/2015] Qlimax - Equilibrium [NL]

[John Cove]

Oh and last but not least, very nice tribute to the French people during BH set, with all those lights, simply beautiful.

That moment was unreal, VERY emotional, especially with the music in the background.

[Neon]

Had such a good time, first time I've spent the whole night on the floor (sound else where was shit) I liked how they moved the technical sound area off the floor above the bar. I always had space to dance. I spent most of the night under the last light thing above the crowd.

The stage was a bit lame and didn't really feel special? Just seemed pretty standard.

I enjoyed pretty much all of the sets but adaro b2b Zatox stole the show with deetox second. I cannot understand why BH and RanD got half an hour each and a b2b set, wish deetox and the playa got longer.

It really does feel like the SFX situation is draining QDance as this event in terms of stage and stuff weren't amazing! The stage does look great in pictures but live it just lacked something..

Also I've never heard so many artists play the same songs in a single event before!

[Lus]

So at the end, this edition wasn't so crowded?

[P.L.K]

What a great Qlimax again ! I didn't expect anything from the NC & Wildy set but it turned out to be amazing with so many old tracks

And then enjoyed every set till the end, and that finish with Tha Playah my god !

Also met Radical Redemption in the crowd, always nice to see artists enjoying parties like a simple spectator

Not true.

No.
I.
Don't.
Believe.
You.

Jealous.

I accidently run into Phuture Noize

Like always, crowed at the beginning but then from 3/4 am enough place to dance.

[Shadder]

For me it was my 3rd and best Qlimax so far...

I enjoyed every seconds of it.

The stage was indeed pretty lame but the reste... Everything was perfect, the sounds, the people, the lightshow, the sets (NC & Wildstylez omygod, that was just perfect).

The stairs in front of the stage was aa really great idea, it wasn't even overcrowded and you had a good view on the dj's, the stage, and the crowd... Kind of a glimpse of what dj's are feeling when they play in front of so many people

During the intro of BM I had the largest smile on my face I couldn't stop it...

And then there was this beautiful hommage from BH to french people, as a french living in Paris, that was just... Well I nearly cried (and I dont do that often), and just remembering the moment is giving me shivers...

And all the people were so nice to us everytime we said we were french, that was really moving, and that's why I love Hardstyle... I don't think I could've experienced this elsewhere...

Thank you Q-Dance, that was probably one of the best night in my life, if not the one !

Much expectation for next year... Just need a better stage, like 2013, and this would be juste... Perfect.

After this qlimax edition, it's clear for me that hardstyle and qlimax are living from memories, so many old tracks played

Yep. This genre begins to fade away.

Nostalgia means a genre is dying Nice banter!

Relying on oldschool and old tracks to appeal fans because of the so-called "nostalgia" means there's a problem in the genre. That's exactly why Showtek and Headhunterz went out, their vision was too forward-looking for HS fans. And I'm pretty sure Isaac, D-Block & S-TE-FAN and Wildstylez will completely go outside Hardstyle in a few years (or even months) for the same reason.

EDIT : that's also why raw Hardstyle artists are becoming harder and harder and don't call their music "Hardstyle" anymore. What's true for former Hardstyle artists is also true for the Rawstyle ones.
