So tomorrow is the last Qlimax, I'm curious who will play at it, probably 90 percent will be the most popular Hardstyle artists of the last 20 years, which is obvious.
I'm afraid it's indeed some kind of Mainstream Pop Psy. That's what i can make of it checking http://psytranceguide.com/ .
Hardtrance maybe as extra label, but hard-ly entrancing this. The 'umpa umpa' bass sound is used in hardtrance, but also some NRG, certainly UK Hardhouse . It does share a few melodic psytrance elements from afar, not all tracks though. Some tracks i would classify as 'Eurotrance' looking at Ishkur's guide http://music.ishkur.com/. For 'Neotrance' it's too upfront, not minimal enough?
Les goƻts et les couleurs... .
(I like trance/goa/psy in small doses btw, just a bit different.)
Just a minor thing Han, i wouldn't tag this 'hardhouse'. I was refering to the 'umpa umpa' bass the tracks have in common with some hardhouse, but i would not tag this as hardhouse nor NRG. Some garage also contains that bass sound, it's just an element of some of the tracks in this mix.
Hardtrance/psytrance tag suffices. Greetings!
