ORIGINALITY
Tbh I think the fans (the ones like me and others from here and other forums/reddit) that are checking out releases and news every day - are more 'up to date' about the scene than a lot of artists. They often just grab a vocal from Splice every time without checking if others used it. I've been annoyed by this for years too
At the same time, if this is true, it's a bit more difficult for them to be just as up to date with every release.

My 2 cents tho on this is chords, notes, rhythms, anything musical all comes from inspiration from somewhere. To an extent because of this, everything musical is reused one way or another at some point by every artist. Vocals are no different. Except they're usually a lot more noticeable. But an artist may hear a vocal sample someone else uses, gets inspiration off of that, and what? they can't use it anymore just because another artist used it? I know there's tons of different samples out there that could be used, and a lot of artists will use those that others may not have used, but some artists will want to make a song around what inspired them which could be samples that were already used.

You'd be surprised how geniunely unaware people are of other artists to not know a vocal has been used. It is odd.

It's funny to think that we (the fans) have a better knowledge of the scene than the artists themselves. Of course when I say scene I mean tracks and other gossip.

I don't know if it's because they don't have time to listen to other artists or if they just prefer to not listen too much to hardstyle in order to stay creative.

Both, I think.

Another one: as much as I'm hyped by the new Project One stuff and the new HHz tunes from his Qlimax set, I kinda wish he still made some house here and there. Stuff like Cyborg, To Be Me, Power Of Now, Dharma, Live Your Life is just hnnnngg <3 sure i did miss his hardstyle when he was making these tunes, but why cant we have both?

Because most Hardstyle fans are narrow-minded as f*ck :fist:

Also, he had help with most of his EDM tracks (you can look it up on the Buma Stemra portal) so I guess he wasn't happy with that situation anyways hence probably the reason he is back in Hardstyle.

What? The all mighty top hardstyle producer Willem had struggles with EDM? in wich aspect? does this mean EDM is hard to produce? not as easy as every hardstyle elitist say? wasn't the fact that doing hardstyle instantly makes you the best producer because HS is hard as fuck to make? :+ :+ :+

Cyborg was one of the most anticipated edm tracks of 2015 imo. When Dyro said on twitter that they were probably going to release it for free I was so hyped. Then a couple months went by and he said it would probably never be released. The collab with No Mondays was very good as well although I felt like Willem secretly ghost produced some of No Mondays tracks especially Let It Be You and Divination.
Stand before them and there is no beginning, follow them and there is no end.
Stay with the Project, move with the One.

Well, seems you dont know Cyborg was leaked a while ago, also Circus with Martin Garrix

Edit: To be fair, KSHMR is a very versatile producer, he can replicate the Hhz sound even tho they did Dharma before Divination, Let It Be You sounds like a pretty cool aproximation to Hhz but i dont think he ghosted, just an "inspired by" track

I'm starting to get annoyed by the number of bootlegs everyone is making lately. Project One, Sub Zero Project, Ran-D, NC (well thats an evergreen though), Wildstylez and ton of others.
Not that I mind bootlegs as such, but the fact you can't put a bootleg on spotify and barely anyone cares about giving the uneleasable mp3s out at this point, we are ending up with tons of great new stuff that we just wont ever lay hands of. And tbh there are few things more annoying than listening to a kickass track while knowing you will never have it
