Great to see that US are producing hardstyle. Keep up the good work ^^
ps: maybe you should try with a louder kick... the melody is too loud compared with the kick...
There's no real 'qlimax' feeling yet
Definitely appreciate the feedback. We can go in and remix/remaster to get the proper balance.
The kick seems to be the toughest thing for us to nail down. We're trying to build a custom one from scratch (we use reason) and we want to end up with one that is somewhat definitive/unique. We've both been busy with work as of late so we haven't had much time to work on producing, but I have some new tracks I'm pretty excited about and will post another preview here later today.
Yes, I think we are some of the few that really love hardstyle here in the states, and I don't know of anyone else (East Coast at least) that is producing. However, I think the style is still growing and spreading. It seems to that my friends here who like electronic music prefer the more melodic hardstyle (I played a girlfriend of mine Showtek- Music on My Mind and she loved it).
The good news is, we have showtek coming to Atlanta in August, and I am pumped about that. I know people have mixed opinions on their newer stuff, but their classics are, imo, some of the strongest hardstyle tracks ever (colours of the harder styles, dust 2 dust, etc).
Thank you guys again for the feedback and check back when you have a moment today for the new track(s) (may post a few now that i think about it

)
