Yeah. I know but that Mellow song was legit and I was hoping they would play something along those lines but I guess not



For me, and possibly others, it's not about that but more about integrity. They just can't put out one or two Hardstyle songs last year and then.... Show up at Ultra with nothing but Big Room bangers, Trap, and Future Bass..... That's just not cool. It's a big FU to their old fanbase.

I get it, I do, hey let's have some fun and release two tracks with our buddies and with DJ Snake that focuses on Hardstyle! The fans go crazy, woah Showtek is back, fam! Naaaaaah. It was just for show.

I also understand that Ultra is a different base compared to Defqon.1, Qlimax, etc. but come on..... If Armin can have some ASOT on his mainstage act, former Hardstyle producers should be able, too.

I can't respect producer's like that *cough* Headhunterz *cough*

But I digress and you are somwhat right. As long as it gets the crowd hyped and sells tickets, who gives a fuck? Anything for money (not saying you are saying they are doing it for money but from my view), I guess.

I understand what you're saying, but the number thing about these performances is getting the place hyped and they achieved it. Looked like everyone had a good time.

by that accord everyone should throw cakes too, it gets the crowed hyped!

Dumb logic.

Hardwell let's fucking go. Last year his set was dope!

 

[cj_iwakura]

Can't believe I missed Aly & Fila. Hope there's video of that, it was probably insane.

Like, I get what you're saying, but the last thing I want to see is another fucking bigroom set. I'm not necessarily a hardstyle fan but if I went to an artist expecting hardstyle and they were playing the same stuff every other schmuck at Ultra plays, I wouldn't be too thrilled.

You're implying that they can't get the crowd hyped with the thing they're known for and good at, that they should play bigroom or whatever to do that...

 

[DMczaf]

Galantis hype

Galantis is always so awesome!!! <3 <3 <3

I closed out Day 3 of EDC with them last year

Probably one of the best groups to dance to as the sun rises on the final day. Sooooo good.

 

[Meciu]

Drop after drop. I guess this is Hardwell's try at this UMF?

Shame on me ;/

Usually, at these events, the music starts blending and energy becomes the main focus. It sucks you didn't hear what you wanted, but it was a good show all things considered.

Btw Ferry Corsten is on at the ASOT stage.

Hardwell is killing it. Way too much good music this weekend. This remix is simply fantastic.

 

[Meciu]

Hardwell is killing it.

Well, that Spaceman drop was kinda nice tbh

 

[E92 M3]

Well, that Spaceman drop was kinda nice tbh

Spaceman just works in a big room setting. I loved hearing it live.

One time Hardwell played a Zelda remix as well lol.

 

[Meciu]

Cypress Hill ? lol

 

[cj_iwakura]

I'm surprised Resistance/Arcadia is an all day stream and not ASOT.

 

[Meciu]

Is Zedd next? Or is DEADMAU5 gossip true? (sorry, i've not follewed the news)

 

[cj_iwakura]

Is Zedd next? Or is DEADMAU5 gossip true? (sorry, i've not follewed the news)

Zedd was sick. Not sure if mau cinco is confirmed or not.

 

[Meciu]

I might stay late cause of him and be dead at work tomorrow hmmm

 

[cj_iwakura]

I think Hardwell just woke up.

 

[E92 M3]

I think Hardwell just woke up.

I really hope he plays Sick Individual - Alive.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Oh come on, there goes my faith.

 

[Meciu]

lol

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Are they trying to make gasolina happen again?

 

[Meciu]

OK, I'll be dead @ work tomorrow but ill stay just to see if mouse is gonna play instead of Zedd

Edit: dunno what to think of Hardwell's set. Fells so random.

[Anth0ny]

for some reason, yeah. doesn't really work well in these electro house heavy sets, tbh.


the night is over after zedd. guetta ain't great live and snake is fucking awful.

 

[cj_iwakura]

OK, I'll be dead @ work tomorrow but ill stay just to see if mouse is gonna play instead of Zedd

It was good for about a minute and now it's shit. Back to Resistance.

 

[cj_iwakura]

And he's back on, lol. His set is all over the place.

 

[Meciu]

NotLikeThis... I'm at my limit

 

[Anth0ny]

the next episode stops every set dead. yet everyone seems to play it. super pet peeve of mine. ugh.

See that's where I don't agree, I mean I don't think bigroom is good in the first place, but I've yet to hear someone like Armin do a good bigroom set anyway, almost anyone who follows EDM will tell you his Trance sets are far better and more fun. Just my opinion though, I just don't think it's interesting from a music stance but a lot of people have fun and more power to them.

 

[aspiegamer]

Dammit man, just do a full hardstyle set next year. You know you want to.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Dammit man, just do a full hardstyle set next year. You know you want to.

Lol, not gonna happen.

 

[aspiegamer]

Guess I can't use Mindblown in my mashups anymore or people will just think I robbed it from Hardwell. Boo. You dick.

The last 20 minutes of that were not at all what I was expecting.

Lol, not gonna happen.

Hey, let me dream.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Oh look Hardstyle is going over well with the crowd.

Hard well finally woke up

 

[cj_iwakura]

FINALLY.

 

[E92 M3]

I like it all, man. Armin is one of my favorites to see live. Can't say I ever left disappointed from a live event.

 

[Anth0ny]

woaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh :O

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Yooo! Hardwell bringing the Hardstyle ;_;

I'm happy!

 

[E92 M3]

Do you guys subscribe (it's also free) to www.di.fm?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Well that lasted for a hot minute.


Looked for Carl Cox, only see a few 20 minute videos. Maybe it'll go up later?

His setup looked insane.

 

[Talonz]

Future Bass from Hardwell. I've seen it all now. /facepalm

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Lol, Hardwell's new track is Future Bass nonetheless.

Whatever Hardwell.

I enjoyed that set even though I'm drunk as fuck, lol. I'm just happy that EDM is sort of mainstream!

Happy Ultra, y'all!

 

[cj_iwakura]

"I've made a huge mistake"

 

[cj_iwakura]

Well, guess Zedd didn't want to let Mau5 take it.

 

[Talonz]

Zedd killing it as usual. He's the king of Big Room.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Eats Everything is doing Arcadia right now, good stuff.

That stage is nuts.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Well, guess Zedd didn't want to let Mau5 take it.

Lol, yeah I guess he didn't. Shame. Joel would have killed it, imo.

 

[TVexperto]

Just listened to Sam Feldts set from Ultra 2017...wow...winner of the year for me. so much energy and variety in his set unlike axwell ingrosso etc

 

[E92 M3]

Hearing Michael Jackson at Ultra makes me very happy. Such a good artist.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Vini Vici is probably the best set I've heard, but Eats Everything is on fire right now.

Nicole Moudaber was pretty great too.

 

[Anth0ny]

zedd is fucking killing it. good lord.

 

[cj_iwakura]

zedd is fucking killing it. good lord.

So is Eats Everything, don't make me choose.


EE throwing shade on Trump.
