i'm sometimes skipping through the Q top 40, i love fear.fm top 40, but why is qdance doing a hardstyle top 40, without minor labels like spoontech, or theracords? i mean they got a gearbox track here and there, that is cool.

focking ametnis (whoever this is) remix of nothingness on 14? are you kidding me? it just can sound more amateurish when it's done by me

skipped to the rest . no more questins. Fear.FM Hardstyle Top 40 December 2008 - here we go again

Dann mal los, bin gespannt!

Come on man, for personal complaints you might have noticed the user two posts above yours.

For the Top40, I actually don't know on what they are based.
Maybe sales via hardstyle.com? (Gearbox is doing quite well there).
Either way, not sure what you expect.
It's not the Top 40 of personal preferences

The 11 years I've done the Hardstyle Top40 with a friend of mine started by just personally being a no-life collecting data all over the internet (forums/shops/etc) and personally making a list of that. Later we built a web crawler that gathered data every hour compiling a list at the end of the month. No idea how Q-dance compiles the list nowadays since we never transferred any of our systems etc. when we quit a few years ago

I can imagine it being harder nowadays though, as the main statistics come from streaming services like Spotify but you can't crawl any streaming amounts through their API. Websites like beatport/hardstyle.com aren't really that representative anymore for what people actually listen to the most.

It's fine as it is and their really list is pretty accurate imo. There's just like 5 times more Hardstyle released these days as it was 10+ years ago so obviously it's even harder for smaller labels now to appear on that chart and even for well established ones with more underground music (Spoontech, Theracords)

I just don't like the fact that q-dance top40's aren't mixed.

is Rebourne still in the scene? I was checking out his older tracks. He's actually a very good producer considering he was already making good quality kicks and sounds at the age of 19

Question for the oldies. I was listening to this track the other day and I've always wondered why they named it Showtek Kwartjes Remix. Does anyone know why?

I guess this track can still be cool to listen to on rare occasion, but do people still enjoy this style of hardstyle nowadays? I feel this style didn't age well, unlike the earlier 2004 reverse bass stuff.

Bullshit. Better then 99% of what gets released today. 2005-2010 was the best era of this genre. Even nowadays I listen to hardstyle from these years way more often then the contenporary stuff.

Well I don't see much people posting the 2007 offbeat bass stuff in the "Early Hardstyle Appreciation Thread!"

Anyway, I don't enjoy this old showtek style anymore. I feel the psytrance-hardstyle of nowadays is much more listenable, and less of a bore.

Because that's not early but nustyle/classic hardstyle?
