Hardstyle music

Hardstyle es un género de danza electrónica mezclando influencias del hard techno ...

- Hardstyle is an electronic dance genre mixing influences from hard techno and hardcore.

- Hardstyle typically consists of a deep, hard-sounding kick drum, intense faded or reversed basslines accompanying the beat, a dissonant synth melody, and detuned and distorted sounds.

- Many hardcore artists produce hardstyle tracks as well, and many newer Hardstyle tracks are written in compound time (for example older Headhunterz and Noisecontrollers work).

******Dubstyle*****

In early 2010s, a new variation in hardstyle, named dubstyle was introduced.

Dubstyle is the name given to the genre fusion of hardstyle and dubstep.

Dubstyle tends to have reversed wobble basslines and take the kick styling of hardstyle tracks, while combining them with the rhythm, groove, and dubstep tempo and effects a fusion of elements of hardstyle with a dubstep rhythm, usually a 2-step or a breakstep rhythm.

Because of the sporadic beat in dubstyle, the bass is often more dragged out and/or it doesn't follow a strict offbeat pattern that regular hardstyle incorporates, which in turn results in dubstyle basslines bearing similarities to dubstep basslines.

****Euphoric Hardstyle****

From roughly 2010 onwards, the move towards a more melodic emphasis from early hardstyle evolved into the subgenre "euphoric hardstyle", characterized by highly emotional melodies and heavy pitch-shifting of kicks.[8] Notable euphoric hardstyle producers include Atmozfears, Da Tweekaz and Wasted Penguinz.

****Raw Hardstyle****

Since around 2011, more terms to identify developments of hardstyle were introduced. Raw Hardstyle, is a type of hardstyle influenced from Dutch hardcore or older hardstyle resulting in darker melodies, screeches and deeper-sounding kick drums.
