Ive been producing now for 4 years in my spare time. The style of music could be classed as hard trance with a commercial feel to it.
Having been to Tidy (UK Hard Dance label) Events for the last couple of years i think my style has changed and i have had to step up a gear to meet the standards of tunes being played at such events!
Rules are keep it hard, fast and punchy. No nonsense music.
DJ Scott Project, DJ Dana, Uberdruck, BK, Guyver, DBD (Gaz West), Paul Maddox amongst many others
