Hardwell and Headhunterz ft Harris - Nothing Can Hold Us Down

[dadasdelmio]

Its better than i expected. I like the melody very much, maybe some of the younger and unknown (hardstyle) producers release a remix? haha

I think the track is pretty harmless........ its not that in your face blip blip bwarp bwarp big room stuff ala Dmitri Vegas, Like Mike, W&W, etc

so that's fine


But DAT point is valid about how did commercial house go from beautiful sings like Lazy, Another Chance and I'll add some more like Goldtrix - It's Love (Trippin), Tim Deluxe - It Just won't do, Basement Jaxx - Romeo, etc (early 00's house is the fucking bomb!) to the much more simplified version called bigroom.........It's not that I wish it never happened....I don't understand how music fans in all genres seemed to lose their attention span so much that the massess only dig tracks that have a big buildup, a drop , repeat once more then finish....

c'est la vie

I must say, it is a good track. But it makes me sad to hear headys sound at 128 bpm. I still cannot get used to it.

I can't think of any genre that is exactly the same now that it has been like 10 or even 5 years ago.

think euro hard trance here, in "other music" subforum, there is a thread called "does anyone miss the old days of german hard trance", listen to some tunes there. that is why hard trance is my biggest love ever

What about these new tracks?

Spoiler

I honestly didn't know about their existence. probably because I don't follow house music anymore, just listen to the 00's Club Hits channel on DI.Fm and call it a day

Everytime you come into a house(-related) topic it's the same fucking crap you write. Obviously you don't like it, so why waste your time and energy on something you KNOW you won't like anyway and then even call it "another pathetic piece of crap heady dares to call music"? Now, that's not really adult-like either, is it?

I still have hope that after tons of shit there just might be a gem somewhere?
anyway, I mostly hate on bigroom house because I simply can't grasp how come mainstream house music went from emotional and catchy stuff like Roger Sanchez - Another Chance or X-Press 2 - Lazy (two tracks from the top of my head, also sorry for not postint youtube videos as examples, but look them up, they're worth it), you know, the music that actually touched your feelings, and was really pleasant to listen to; to mind-numbingly dumb buildup-drop-buildup-drop (add cheesy vocals for more radio airplay) bigroom formula.
you know, I used to love house music back in the days, like in 2001-2004. it had emotion, tension, actual feelings. but as years went by I noticed that it becomes more and more... recycled, for the lack of better word. after the electro house boom of 2005-2007 I totally lost all faith in mainstream house music. to me it just turned into grey mass of tracks that simply sound like one another.
tl;dr I'm massively butthurt over the degradation of my once favorite genre.

I massively can relate/agree to this, though.

I loved the electro house boom
