Wist je dat ... Topic

dat vroeg ik me dus ook af, en vooral ook vanwege het stukje:



Dat is gewoon alcohol verslaafd? ze kunnen niet functioneren zonder?

Door dit statement hoop ik niet meer negatief in verband te worden gebracht met een dronken pinguïn met een ongesteldheids-issue.

Before complaining about bookings, scene, music, labels or whatever, ask your self, "What I sacrificed to achieve my goals?"
Last days im reading a lot of negative posts about people that complain about having no bookings, but i still can't understand how many people are so Blind infront of the evidence.
Talking shit about everything, will not bring you bookings. Like
hoping to get a booking only because you think you are a talented producer ...you know what? I can see clearly that the most of you, have so much free time to spend on bullshit, social media, pictures ecc...but being a dj / producers is something else, if you can't handle this, how you think you can handle our life???
Instead talk shit about the world you want to be part of, do something for your own self and for this scene, without hoping that something will return back.
Produce. Mix. Be ACTIVE, not just a passive ASSHOLE.
For every step i did, I sacrificed my Time, my Life, my friend, my family, my country and i'm still doing it.I left for a foreign country without knowing the language,the peoples or having a job or a stable income, the only thing i had was a DREAM. And i was so busy to do my things, that I had no time for this crap.
So my advice is. Stop complaining, and more than anything else, stop and think, "what i sacrificed to achieve my goals?" because maybe is not enuff...So my dears, leave the hate behind yourself, because hate brings hate, nothing more! and trust in the only things that deserve it, The musis and yourself.
PACE.

Dat klopt, verslaafde krijgen paniek aanvallen en voelen zichzelf niet meer als ze niks kunnen gebruiken.
Kijk maar eens een aflevering van Drugs Inc. op Nat. Geopraphic.

Since a lot of viewers just thought I was bashing raw, let's expand on the issue a bit, and let me say what I feel is at the core of what is happening, in a way that probably hasn't really been adressed yet (correct me if I'm wrong).
It's not just organisers, promotors, or specific artists or even booking agencies alone that are responsible for how the scene turned out. It's the underlying intentions with which people act, that are starting to bear fruits.
It's the greed for money, of getting gains or fame, sometimes coupled with the idea of doing so behind others' backs/at others' expense. The love of selfworship versus "love thy neighbour". Whatever happened to that? What we're seeing in the scene is a reflection of society as a whole.
To some (you know exactly who you are) I'd like to say: before you go out and call others divas or snobs, start and take a look at your own life and acknowledge how messed up it is (don't even deny it to me, trust me - I've been there), and stop bashing others who dare form a voice while you just in it for all the wrong reasons).
Why can I make this statement? I used to be, well not in it for the wrong reasons, but let's say that I did take advantage of the situation and often only thought about myself, and having reaped the fruits of that, this stuff takes to my heart. There are consequences for behaviour and what we're seeing is a reflection of that, it's clear as day for those who dare to be honest with themselves firstly.
I don't bash raw, it's just not my taste. I feel the growth of need for dark music is also a reflection of the corruption in society as whole. I cannot identify with darkness any more even though I did some darker themed tracks with Second Identity in 2010, today I just won't. That will not stop others from doing that, I am fully well aware. We all have our choices to make and consequently the results to feel. I just feel darkness breeds darkness, and isn't what is seen in the scene showing that?
Just don't simply take my words for it, take a good look at yourself first and the situations of your life and your intentions.
This stuff does not only reflect hardstyle but is also to be seen in any other aspect of the world we live in.
No one in particular is to blame, other than the choices that are made and the motives behind them. Can't we see this?
Please don't view this as some elitist post or whatever, I lived consequences and it's inevitable (and not 'fun' in any way) unless one has a change of heart/mind.

Ik heb het even overlegd maar bij b2s vinden ze inderdaad dat er te veel alcohol wordt gebruikt. Het feest gaat niet door. Het is de schuld van rawphoric. Succes met ruzie maken.

Dear Friends,

It’s with a heavy heart that we inform you, TomorrowWorld will not take place in 2016. Unfortunately in the current environment , it is not possible to give you the best and unique experience you deserve.

We will miss seeing each other in September and experiencing the magic of TomorrowWorld as one. You, the People of Tomorrow, the foundation of TomorrowWorld, are our inspiration.

Let’s lock and cherish all the magnificent memories in our hearts, this is not farewell…

TomorrowWorld

Tomorrowworld 2016 is gecanceld

Slowpoke, prachtig. Eerbetoon aan de verjaardag van Pokemon.

Te laat op het bootje gestapt, haha... Toch wel raar met The Pitcher, heerlijke sound. Ineens was daar de passie voor de rawstyle en was het bommetjes gooien met pingpong kicks in tracks. Dit is mijn style...
En dan nu ook nog zo'n afgezaagde act met pistolen. Laat The Pitcher weer lekker The Pitcher worden en komen met kwalitatief sterke tracks en niet pingpong tracks. Zo zonde hoe je een act binnen 2 jaar compleet verneukt...

Ik hoop dat de scene helemaal in elkaar klapt en opnieuw begint met 'originele' artiesten met passie voor de muziek van voor de raw/euphoric/hokjehierhokjedaar #HYPE
