Recently signed to Fusion, we have two newcomers, Slim Shore, who you may recognise as the old Dutch Master, and Titan, who has played at Q-Base as DJ Pinas.

Slim Shore is slated to have a 3-tracker debut EP, featuring King of the Stage, Scars and Siren. Of the three tracks, only two have previews which are below, however all three sound quite dissonant and contain weird harmonics. A new musical direction for Henry? I hope so, because it sounds awesome.

Titan, basing purely on sound, sounds to me like a darker Zany alias. Having no prior productions, yet listening to the quality of his music – not to mention the fact it’s Fusion – leads me to believe he may have had quite a helping hand from head honcho, Zany and possibly the label’s musical magician, The Pitcher. Either way, Strength and Fury and Nightmare are both melodic and rough, a perfect combination.

Then we have two tried and tested artists, some of the biggest in the scene coming together to give us two – possibly three – predictably hard tracks. If you’ve listened to either a Zany or Noisecontrollers set in the past few months you’ve probably heard either Diffusion or Paranoid, and though they might not have been quite so memorable, they are quite so awesome.

We haven’t heard a whole lot from B-Front since Fusion signed him quite some time ago. Apparently working on a solo 4-tracker, he’s been busy at work with someone who has had quite a lot of attention since he arrived on the scene, Frontliner. Together they’ve come out with four pretty hard tracks to be split and released on both Fusion and Scantraxx.

The Fusion two contain Magic and Become The Sky, Magic being the rough standout and perfect combination of styles.

More and more previews keep coming, yet barely anything is released. Not only is there the above in the queue to be released, there’s also Zany & Dozer with Fruxaq and Huwex, Noisecontrollers & Toneshifterz with Empire of the Sun and Jaydee, Zany’s solo with Angel of the Sun & Purify Your Senses, Dozer’s solo with Robin’s Revenge and Elixer, some unofficially announced forthcoming Pitcher and no doubt some Donkey Rollers.

C’mon Fusion, pick up the pace, everyone wants your stuff!

We’ll start off with a brand new Zatox track called Vintage. Zatox very rarely disappoint us with his italian masterpieces and i’m pretty sure you’ll like this uplifting but yet hard track as well. There isn’t much to say about this…this is just pure quality, as always!

Click here to view the embedded video.

Have you ever heard of Degos and ReDone? No? Well, I haven’t heard of them either but  maybe it’s time to open up our eyes (or ears) for these guys and take our time to listen to what they have to offer.
Their track “Salsa” was played by Dozer and Nagoom at the FearFM event “Phobia” and separates itself a bit from other nu-style tracks with its rather complex and unusual but still cool melody. Carl recommends!

Time for the usual update on the Superplastik front.  Here’s a The Pitcher hardstyle remix or “re-amp” of the rather commercial jumpstyle track “Summertime” by Re-Amp , a.k.a Michel Pollen and Brane Kovak.
This new version features rough kicks and a simple melody together with some ultra-cheesy vocals about good looking boys on the beach.
Nothing special but still a million times better than the original.

Click here to view the embedded video.

The final video of this post is another Pitcher remix of an old track.
Grindin’ 2009 is even better and harder than the original so it would almost equal to committing a crime if you would refuse to check this one out.
When it comes to other Superplastik tracks, the long awaited Pitcher tracks “Shine” and “I Just Can’t Stop” were just released and we can also expect the new Dozer vinyl called “Syren / Go” to hit the shelves in a couple of weeks.

Oh and yeah, here’s the free track that I spoke about – Gevaarlijke Daan – G.V.D, kindly given away for free by Frequencerz: http://www.mediafire.com/?yognmz15mjz

Enjoy it!

Technoboys Rock Civilization remix was probably one of the biggest surprises for a long time in the endless world of hardstyle, and many people were astonished when they heard it on the q-dance live-broadcast. It can be described as something very special and innovating, but alot of people seem to be very sceptic about this new lento violento sounding hardstyle and you ask yourself if this really is the beginning of a new experimentation era as stated by Headhunterz himself.
Check it out yourself and see if you like it or not!

The other surprise is a track called “The summer of hardstyle” which was played by almost all Scantraxx artists during the event.
This screechy track by Proppy & Heady (presumeably The Prophet and Headhunterz) is filled with reverse bass and other old school ingredients, and blows over the hardstyle scene as a fresh summer breeze on a june evening.
Finally we get to hear something completely new from these guys, so be sure to check out this awesome track!

Click here to view the embedded video.

The next track is also something pretty unexpected.
D-Block & S-Te-Fan have teamed up with High Voltage to make an almost hardcore sounding track which is very different from their usual sound. “Shiverz” (yes, with a z) will be on their new album which is probably going to be released during the end of this year.
Don’t mizz thiz!

Click here to view the embedded video.

Last but not least in the pile of new tracks, a new production from the good old Frontliner called “The First Cut”.
A very energetic, cool and hard track which sounds very promising. Expect this to be released on Scantraxx some time during the next ten years.

And now some backstage videos from various artists. Enjoy these sweet clips from another successful edition of Defqon 1!

First off is I Just Can’t Stop, a typical trancy and uplifting Pitcher track with a melody to die for. The sounds in this track may have been used in many other Pitcher tracks before but it’s still something quite special and trully awesome.

Click here to view the embedded video.

It’s scheduled for release together with the other new Pitcher track “Shine” some time during 2009.

The next track on the list is Strange Love, which is a surprisingly experimental but still very cool track, filled with different bleeps and sounds.
To quote what The Pitcher said himself  “It’s not the obvious hit but it could work out well on the dance floor.”

Click here to view the embedded video.

The last track is a new Dozer production called Syren (formerly known as Firebird on many forums all over the internet)
What is there to say? It’s uplifting, pounding and just totally awesome. Go and check it out underneath!

The good ol’ Tweekers from Norway kindly decided to give away this sweet remix of the classic (and overplayed) tune “Stampuhh” by Deepack and The Prophet.
Get ready for some Nintendo sounds, twisted dutch vocals and typical good tasting Tweekers cheese. Be sure to turn up DA volume and enjoy this free track!

Deepack vs. The Prophet – Stampuhh (Da Tweekaz Beukuh Remix)

The first one, for which we as of yet do not know a name, is a typical NC-style happy, but somewhat unsettling track. Judging from the sample, my guess for the title is ‘Nevermore’, but hey, who knows.

Click here to view the embedded video.

The other one is called Samara. Although the sound quality is bad, it is pretty much safe to say that Noisecontrollers really do control all about the noise they make; Samara is supremely dark, heavily detuned, something only these guys could create.

For now, that is all. In between trying to get the promised interview through to Michel Pollen and doing my final exams, I soon hope to have a review of the new Thunderdome anthems/cd ready for you.

Even though we have not had updates in a week or so, I still do not have time to review these tracks fully. As I do not have anything to tell you about them except that they are good, on to the tracks:

Noisecontrollers – Hocus Pocus

Noisecontrollers – Night After Night

On the lack of content note: since Carl has seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth, there is not much content to be posted. Therefore, if any of you think you can write a proper article relevant to the site, go ahead and try. Any articles written in proper style and perfect English will be posted. Unless they try to convey a stupid opinion, like suggesting that the Infinity remix is good or something. But I can trust you with that, can’t I? Anyway, if you’ve got something for me, send it over to ool@theharderview.com.

That is all for now. Goodbye.

As you can see, both Dutch Master and Abyss & Judge have provided fresh input. At least as interesting is the name Dailucia. Not to be confused with Pollen’s old Dalucia alias, this is a new female producer who shows a lot of promise.

The kick off, however, is for Dutch Master with his song Pride. Using the melody from the classic James Bond theme, he manages to create huge expectations for his next release again.

Click here to view the embedded video.

Proceeding with the godly Relax, delicious intro of Shallow Planet and some other songs, we end up at Dailucia – Music over Mind. Its deliciously dark melody and clever vocals make for a very good, captivating track. We are certainly keeping our eyes on this young talent.

Finally, Abyss & Judge chip in with a track that does not have pitched bass for a change. The question, though, is whether that is a good thing or not.  This one isn’t exclusive to the Showtek podcast, but has not received a lot of attention yet, so here it is anyway.

Ending with Put Some Grace, Showtek end the set after one hour and only 12 songs. Still, the whole is a highly enjoyable mix that is well worth a listen.
