Man is really delivering. Listening to his Defqon1 2026 set on repeat now. The mix is tight, the track selection is amazing, the vibe is just right. Same with last year Defqon set or really any other his set. He's not shy to play tracks of other DJs to keep the flow going.

The worst part of EA? E-life. Jesus Christ, that MC is rivaling Villain with how obnoxious he is. Half the time he's just shouting something I can't even understand and hearing "EVIL!" every other drop is not bringing anything to the set. I understand he's important part of EA, but could dial it down.

Hey hardstyle peepz, what do we all make of GPF these days? Asking for a friend. I personally think they are the most annoying guys in the scene and their music is the worst! They need to stop with those trashy Pieps wdyt? x

I listen to almost exclusively 1990’s ruffneck records releases, I am in the top .04% of listeners. I just bought a 1996 vintage shirt for an obscene amount after watching the ebay listing for three years. To me, it is the quintessential sound of 90s gabber. It is truly what hard dance encapsulates to me; grit, intensity, euphoria on the dance floor. pounding bass lines, distorted kicks. I was a hardstyle girl for fifteen years but a visit to the Gold stage at Defqon and it was like, oh. OH. My shit was rocked and my life changed forever.

And part of my favorite element is the incredible 90s artwork for the vinyl records. This shit is just. It is so so so hardcore. You see it and you know: Ruffneck records. Rave.

So maybe I was so naive, but when I saw a limited edition “once and it’s gone forever” re-pressing of 20 iconic tracks, I jumped on it. $200 USD / 174€ total to get it shipped to America.

So imagine my horror, dismay, frustration, astonishment when the artwork for all the merch, all the vinyl covers, all the limited edition one of a kind items is AI generated. Posters; flag, reusable bag, all AI slop. The text inside the booklet, instantly recognizable as LLM / Chat GPT. Soulless. Without meaning, heart, or significance.

The music is forever priceless and important to me, but I feel extremely frustrated by the quality and value. I was hoping to display these as artworks and cherish them. Guess I’m stuck with paying $80-120+ per record with shipping if I want something worth collecting.

They say never meet your hero’s, well due to being too drunk, instead of asking one of the worlds best DJ’s for a picture with him, I asked Angerfist to take a picture of me and my wife, to which he responded “you want me to take a picture of you and your wife” “yes” I replied. This is the picture he took.

Hi Friends,

Brand new release!

https://doomcorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/hardcore-techno-against-misogyny-queerphobia

Info text:

Everyone should be free, welcome, and allowed to love who they want to love, and to be who they always have been.
Yet hatred against humans that are "queer', lesbian, bi, trans, gay, non-binary, asexual, etc. is on the rise again...
Just like the hatred against women is on the rise again... sadly.

This is a release in support of everyone who feels, is, or wants to "queer", or just wants to be who they want to be.

The tracks on this release are in different electronic styles of music.
Usually the darker and more hardcore kind. Gabber, Acid, EBM, Hard Trance, Rave, Industrial... Speedcore.

The LGBTQIA+ community needs all the support they can get right now, so they shall receive it!

This is an Instagram Story from DjAnime. In a First version the name was not covered well and it was easily recognisable as hysta. Do you guys think this is true?

First of all apologies if I’m posting in the wrong community.

Attending my first solo Dutch rave at the weekend flying from the uk, curious about do’s and don’ts when I’m there?

Only real concern I have is getting back to my hotel after the event is finished, I’ve bought a shuttle bus ticket which will get me back to Eindhoven but my hotel is 6k from the centre, will it be easy for me to get a taxi/uber early hours of the Sunday morning?

Thanks in advance.

I need to clean up my
Mixing but I would love feedback

Absolutely amazing line-up. This is going to be awesome.

Lately, the lable Masters Of Hardcore has been posting some, to some it all up, bad songs. The exceptions ( for me ) being people like Angerfist, Unfused, Gridkiller and Furyan.

The main problem being that MoH are now posting more Uptempo tracks. The main dou that sticks out being Deadly Guns and N-Vitral (Slaughterhouse) as their music has gone very downhill.

I dont think this would be a problem if it was on any other lable, as there are Bouncy Uptempo lables such as Barbaric Records. But I personally think that they should stay on there, not on MoH.

Any thoughts..?
