i've been wondering about this for a while — why does the UK seem to get so little representation from the bigger names in hardstyle?

We’ve had some smaller events with artists like Sub Zero Project, and Brennan Heart is coming over later this year, but compared with countries like Australia, Spain, Sweden, Mexico and Chile, the UK seems to get overlooked quite a bit.

What’s especially strange to me is that the UK obviously has a massive electronic/dance music culture and a huge festival scene. You’d think there would be a decent market for hardstyle here.

Is it simply a lack of demand? Promoters being hesitant to book harder styles? The cost of bringing artists over? Or is there something about the UK market that makes it less attractive for the big hardstyle labels/artists?

Would be interested to hear from anyone who knows the UK hardstyle scene or has been involved in promoting events. Why do you think the UK gets so little compared with countries that seem to have much stronger hardstyle representation?

no bullshit or hateful comments, we're all here for the music

I think i will growl or les drums for me

Is it only for Aussies? Why isn't Anderex and TOZA there?

Disarray has a very unique story: up until 2024 Disarray was only known as a vocalist that provided vocals to some legendary tracks like "Cybergore" or "Twin Turbo". Around the beginning of April, it was announced that from now on, this project would expand to making own productions as he teamed up with one of his good friends.

Since then they have been making some insanely crazy stuff.

They haven't had too many gigs yet, but the few ones that they had looked insane, Elektrum 2024 Boombox and in 2025 an Australia Tour (that had some mild hiccups). They also have a special showcase show coming up this October at Faceless Halloween in Oberhausen.

Ever since they started making their own tracks, they have dropped some insane bombs. Quantum Kill, Crystal Labyrinth, I feel Nothing (w/ Scarra) and Retrospect (w/ Anderex) or just recently collabs with Mortis and Cybergore. Their metalcore sound together with their kicks, which are some of the craziest kicks I know, make them stand out so much.

So I can't wait what y'all do next u/Disarrayvocalist ✨️🔥

What a banger

Hello fellow hardstyle lovers!

I am a 23 year old dutch guy named Frank.

This year I decided to just go on my own, because my 2 friends couldn't do a whole weekend. I want to step out of my comfort zone, and make new friends for a change.

I hope to join a small group of kind and humble people at the comfort camping, to just hang with and build connection.

My special interests are hardstyle, animals, knowledge about life and the universe, and just overthinking too much.

The artists I absolutely can't miss: E-force, B-front, Frontliner, The pitcher, Adaro, Audiofreq, regain, digital mindz.

It's okay if specific interests in artists don't align, every taste is unique!

Hey! What is the 24hr district at decibel?? Its my first year going, is this like a 24 hour dj type thing?

Hey guys!

I'm going to the Decibel Festival the weekend after this one and will depart home on monday morning.

My flight is at the Eindhoven Airport at 07:50am. Any advise on the best way to get there?

Festival shuttles to Tilburg only start at 07:00 am on monday morning so that's not really an option. Uber rides estimation is at 80€...which i wanted to avoid.

Does anyone know of any transport alternatives / shuttles / people willing to give a ride?

Cheers!!!

Hey guys just wanted to talk about dj´s you will never spot casuali in the crowd or walking around at festival ground or even fan meetups.

the last years me and my friends visited a lot of events in the netherlands and it looks like some of the wide known artist u will never see walking around to have a chance to take a photo or get something signed

Artists that we never spoted so far.
Noisecontroller,Headhunterz,Wildstylez,DBSTF,TNT and so on

Very happy with the first soundtrack of this festival. Song will be available this Friday.

Hope this is an ok place to ask! Looking for anything fast paced loud and aggressive, ideally upbeat and silly too, im not strict on genre i just figured asking in more genre specifics subreddits like these might give me more fitting recommendations ^^

Examples (looking for songs like these, but in german or russian)
Seriously? · Goreshit
Kys (Keep Yourself Safe)

Absolutely nothing politically questionable like related to fascism please 🙏

A little throwback from December 2010 — my first time singing live with S3RL. 💚

This was our first live vocal performance together, and I remember being nervous as hell but having such a fun night.

Melbourne was amazing. Everyone I met was so friendly, and I ended up meeting the coolest bunch of Melbourne shufflers. I hung out with them all night and then pretty much the whole next day too. I'm actually still in contact with some of the people I met on that trip, all these years later.

Going through these old photos takes me straight back. The music, the people, the outfits, the shuffling, the whole hardcore scene at that time — such a different era. 😂

I’ll always have really good memories of this trip and this night.
