That goes for any dance music! Except, from a purely technical perspective it tends to be easier to mix hard house because the tracks usually have very formulaic structures, more similar basslines, and less melodic content (so there are more combinations of tunes that sound okay mixed together). BTW I hope Hardhouse Anthems 4 is better than HHA2, which (regrettably) I bought for the extortionate sum of £3.99 from a bargain bin. In fact I tend to steer clear of anything with "anthems" in the title these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except, from a purely technical perspective it tends to be easier to mix hard house because the tracks usually have very formulaic structures, more similar basslines, and less melodic content (so there are more combinations of tunes that sound okay mixed together). :bow: I'm not slating hard house here, and nor is mr liquideyes, but it does tend to stick to a pretty basic formula in terms of drums and bassline. (in general, before people start mentioning specific tracks). In my opinion, while it doesn't seem hard to make, it's hard to make WELL, like any music. It's easy to make run of the mill dance music in any genre, it's making decent stuff that requires the skill. However, it DOES bug me that so many HH tunes out right now are covers of decent house or trance tunes. I mean, they're not exactly stretching the producers, and, while some are great (the rework of "Fixation" for one) they've spawned some less good (imho) ones: Shakedown - At night (the vocal sounds ridiculous) Bedrock - Heaven Scent (CRIMINAL! ) These are two of my favourite tunes and they've been wrecked. And what I hate is the way some HH people say "funky" house is crap, when half the tunes they're wiggling away to are sampled from house records!

CTW Members Adi J Posted June 18, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted June 18, 2003 Whos heard the new fergie mixmag CD?? what a load of [censored]! Funky techno is so boring, i prefer fluffy trance to that [censored], hardhouse is good but to an ageing journalist who will never know the true meaning of hard house music, then let em say what they like! I'm very fussy though on what hard house i like, i certainly only think 20% tunes out of 100 is actually good, the rest is bollox but thats like any other genre.

CTW DJs Guyster Posted June 18, 2003 CTW DJs Share Posted June 18, 2003 Not heard it - but the first tune from my mate's record label is track 4 so careful now Fergie's stuff doesn't really excite me tho. If I want techno there are loads of other DJs I'd choose: Coxy, Jeff Mills, Umek, Slam etc etc Quote WiLDCHiLD - where spacehoppers and pom poms rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
