Hard n' Happy or Dark NRG

[THE DJ iLLusion]

I was wondering what style of Harddance i should play on the 28th? Ms. Huie has put a cheese cap on me so i must limit the amount of cheese i drop... so i was wondering what the people wanted to hear?

but really, just play what you think people want to hear... use your dj intuition. play off of the reaction to whatever bbb decides to throw down.

Could you post links to a Dark Energy sample? I know I'm not a big Happy Hardcore fan, but just wondering.

[Someoneonthenet]

Ben, simply keep it real. That is all.

[orangeglow]

Dark and Hard, but not scary like Rob Gee.

I say start with something dark and moody yet semi anti climatic b/c people's energy levels will still be up, you want to bring them down a bit, let them rest, have them think you are taking it easy on them, then SLAM EM with the BENERGY! then bring it back down, let it simma, then hit them what the good stuff! :thumbsup:

[skitzo skizott]

go dark and hard NRG all tha way

[Firelight]

I am attempting a shift in electronic music in the DC raver community. I have been only taking 1 cd with me everywhere I go, Dj Osis Old Sckool. This Firelight Dj has greaty talent and great ear. His track selection is original, and unique. The bouncy beat with the light vocals and the Nu Nrg sound adds so much. Hard House is what i think will take over the DC area.

[Phoenix]

Dark Hardhouse is just Hardhouse's answer to DnB. I think UKHH should go back to what it was originally intended to be, light, happy, bouncy, fun.

[BrianH]

I dunno the oinky basslines never got to me... for hardhouse I like a really deep bouncy bassline with a bit o funk.... like OD404.

[DJ Osis]

I like to start with bouncy UK then progress into darker harder stuff with UK Hard Breaks

I'm hoping to make a strong case in the Philly area as well. I have a couple of new doors opening up and I'm pushing the demos I've aquired since playing in DC. I feel the wave of both the Hard N Happy and Dark NRG...Tech...etc spreading quickly to more and more people. Its an exciting time, and I'm glad to be apart of it.
