"Q:The tour sees you kind of taking on the role of an experienced elder of hard dance, imparting your knowledge to a potential new breed of DJs. Is this something you’re happy to embrace?
BH: First of all I’m happy about the fact hard dance and hardstyle is so huge over here. And is still is getting bigger by the day! A lot of diehard followers are also DJ/producers, which is really good! The style needs new breed and new influences. That is something that already happened in the trance scene. During my flight I read an article about Armin van Buuren and his vision about producing. For example, producers like Sander van Doorn are also a huge inspiration to Armin. So they all use more ’minimal’ and ‘electro’ influences now. That’s something the new generation could do for hardstyle as well. So to answer your question, yes… I’m really supporting the new generation. Sometimes it’s too bad to see that a lot of young ‘producers’ are too much focusing on internet and writing on forums. Some of them seem to loose focus. Making music isn’t about being “blogger #1”. For one of my album tracks I was inspired by this internet and forum phenomenon. Maybe not the best way to make friends, but I felt like it. The new generation needs to focus on music itself again, because the scene will need it."
