Ah yes reinier

 

[Xangsane]

Have you tried dj swisher man

 

[TechnoBoss]

Very nice. First two are perfect.

 

[MoggerGaston]

Ah yes reinier

i don't like him as a DJ, doesn't play this type of music at all during his sets but the more trendy techno instead tbh, akin to hardstyle.
But he has some good released singles on his name, this one also:

I love him.
Saw him live too. Great set he played, very groovy.

 

[MoggerGaston]

glad you liked those 2.


Another great song in a similar vibe.

This one also:

Great set he played, very groovy.

Awesome! What are your favourite tracks from him?

Is he more mainstream?

 

[Toad]

This was incredibly cool

 

[MoggerGaston]

amsterdam?

nah diff city, small-scale.

Awesome! What are your favourite tracks from him?

dont know any of his tracks, just know that I loved his set and the music he played.
I would see him again if I see his name playing anywhere near me.

 

[MoggerGaston]

Is he more mainstream?

ye he is completely mainstream techno. those songs I posted here is his old sound when he wasn't mainstream.

now that he is super-mainstream he doesn't play this type of techno anymore. I saw him live once in amsterdam.

 

[Xangsane]

Fair enough

I'm NGL, pushin keys and take that (from swishity swish) mog
I actually prefer groovy hard groove over hard techno these days

Oh god, lemme guess, the edm-like hard"techno"?

I mean, I enjoyed it when I was there in Amsterdam. Nice light-show too in this location. But it's not necessairly the techno I vibe with the best.

This was me seeing reineer in 2022. idk how his sound progressed since then but I can only assume the worst:

Not too bad here at all but it kinda has that dimitri vegas style drop

groovy hard-techno is amazing man, I love it.

I also love good industrial/dark hard-techno, but this has been increasingly rare to find. The hard-techno DJs who used to be more industrial/dark have all goten onto the tiktok techno bandwagon.

Paula Temple for example, used to play hard-techno like this in 2019:

Very dark, industrial hard-techno. Amazing sound. One of the best in the genre.

I saw paula temple myself in 2023 and she played this type of hard-techno:

I enjoyed it a lot, don't get me wrong. But let's be honest, this is totally a different vibe than from the katharsis 2019 video. It's a more 'easy' form of techno more suitable for the masses.

It's too bad but I can't complain honestly. The techno scene is expanding so fast, there's so many events in the netherlands, you can find any sound you want if you are willing to travel a bit.

 

[MoggerGaston]

Not too bad here at all but it kinda has that dimitri vegas style drop

idk about dimitri vegas style drops, but reineer had a lot of drops indeed.

And me personally? I dislike drops. A few of them is fine, but i need more constant beat, rhythm, buildup, hypnotic sounds, etc.

One of my fav industrial hard-techno artists I like is Tham, who used to play a sound like this:

This sounds fucking amazing to me, insanely good.

I haven't seen him live yet, just not had the opportunity yet unfortunately. But i've seen some of his recent sets and his vibe became way less dark/industrial too, way more mainstream which I dislike.

Oh well, at least I can enjoy his past releases, amazing songs. He has some great sets out there too which I re-listen.

This one is one of my favs from Tham. Love it. Then he also has the Griesmuhle set on Hor which has like 4mil views lol.

Just too sad that he has gone also on that more mainstream sound instead of those dark-industrial vibes.

 

[Xangsane]

groovy hard-techno is amazing man, I love it.

Same here, do you know about Seigg?

I also love good industrial/dark hard-techno, but this has been increasingly rare to find.

fernanda martins? triptykh?

NGL, since B3000 popped off and went downhill (the Americans love them) then things have gotten bad
and sara landry is a sellout

Paula Temple for example, used to play hard-techno like this:

HOLY SHIT THIS is what I love

This is aight

I enjoyed it a lot, don't get me wrong. But let's be honest, this is totally a different vibe than from the katharsis 2019 video.

I agree

It's a more 'easy' form of techno more suitable for the masses.

I've noticed Americans are into the tiktok techno A LOT for some reason yet find actual hard techno a bit iffy. Like so many Americans were at B3000 and Sara shows

It's too bad but I can't complain honestly. The techno scene is expanding so fast, there's so many events in the netherlands, you can find any sound you want if you are willing to travel a bit.

Is Amsterdam Dance Event not recommended because of mainstreamness or could you give it a shot? Because I remember at uni I talked to the managers of what was there and they claimed "we don't play mainstream like Tiesto, but we love underground stuff like Chris Lorenzo!"

I mean come on this sounds watered down as hell:

And me personally? I dislike drops. A few of them is fine, but i need more constant beat, rhythm, buildup, hypnotic sounds, etc.

No wonder I gravitated towards early 1990s hard trance

This sounds fucking amazing to me, insanely good.

Pretty awesome!

IDK I'm more into very hard hitting stuff that's also hypnotic as you said. The higher the bpm the better (unless if it's groovy stuff which needs to be more vibey)

Just too sad that he has gone also on that more mainstream sound instead of those dark-industrial vibes.

That sucks big time.

this set is fire

 

[MoggerGaston]

Same here, do you know about Seigg?

fernanda martins? triptykh?

dont know these names unfortunately. Are they good?

NGL, since B3000 popped off and went downhill (the Americans love them) then things have gotten bad

yeah sara landry is typical tiktok hard-techno. B3000 never seen live, but I like a few of their songs. Never listened to a set of their ngl.

HOLY SHIT THIS is what I love

Yes man, that's the fucking shit. Now imagine being in a fucking warehouse with those lights shining in your face and being on drugs too holy fuck.
I've had some of my best drug-trips on techno-events like this in 2022 with this type of dark hard industrial-techno.

This is aight

myeah its okay

I agree

I mean it's the same here. Even in the netherlands, real techno-music isn't 'mainstream' at all. Like they don't play it in your local popular clubs, etc. You need to find specific venues which play techno music. And only the big cities in the netherlands would even have such a venue playing techno on a random friday/saturday.
The mainstream is still your regular pop/club-music obviously, like anywhere else.

This tiktok hard-techno, isn't real techno tbh. It feels ways more like hardstyle/edm to me.

I mean ADE is a MASSIVE event. You can find any type of music there which you are interested in. Big mainstream parties will have big mainstream music. But the event is so big, so many locations, so many different parties, different vibes, Amsterdam Dance Event has something for everyone's taste. It's hundreds of different parties in one week.

I mean come on this sounds watered down as hell:

yes I hate this fucking shit sound. I don't mind it for like 1 song, but more it becomes annoying asf.

I struggle the same with drum n bass. I like the genre and love a lot of individual tracks, but I can't listen to it more than 1-2 hours at a festival straight or I get bored.

No wonder I gravitated towards early 1990s hard trance

yeah that shit is great. What's ur favourite?

Pretty awesome!

IDK I'm more into very hard hitting stuff that's also hypnotic as you said. The higher the bpm the better (unless if it's groovy stuff which needs to be more vibey)

That sucks big time.

what do you think about Dax J? Has been one of my favourite hard-groove DJs as of recent together with Chlar.
I was at this event from the instagram video, old prison in Amsterdam during ADE.

Amazing fucking event. The vibes were so good, everyone was vibing so hard. Great crowd, location, music, sound-system, everything.
