Iridium DJ Presents The Foundation of Hardstyle - The Qlubtempo Era - Part 1- 2025

- Your seal for pure Hardstyle! -

I still remember the early days of Hardstyle so clearly. When I heard the first sets of the Qlubtempo editions, I was instantly hooked! That authentic, lived-in early Hardstyle sound has stuck with me ever since! I've picked out tracks that remind me of that time. Nothing, but absolutely nothing, can beat that specific sound! Try to convince me otherwise! 

Here’s a small explanation taken from the Q-Dance website:

"Qlubtempo: the birthplace of hardstyle. This concept laid not only the foundation for hardstyle, but also for Q-dance. We'll take you back in time to the history of this legendary concept.
It was 2001: the heyday of hardcore was over, and people were looking for something new. Q-dance was still called Qlass Elite, and hardstyle hadn't yet been invented. We were throwing old-style parties, but that was starting to wear off. The hard feel that had dominated the dance scene for years was gone.

We decided it was time for something new. We had a venue: Hemkade in Zaandam, and we threw some harder styles into the mix. That's how we came up with a new concept: 
Qlubtempo, a monthly uptempo dance party, as we called it back then. 
"Uptempo dance only" was even the slogan for a while. "

I've tried to tell a good story with these tracks in this mix. I hope it worked out well! Leave a message in the comments and let me know how you experienced that period. 

Enjoy this trip through the Qlubtempo era! So here we go:

Hi people! 

Here’s a new tribute mix I’ve made and this time it’s all about Sensation, the Black edition! Here’s a bit of history about Sensation Black;

Sensation Black was a Dutch dance festival organized from 2002 to 2012, focusing on "darker" music genres such as hardstyle and hardcore. In 2007, the name was changed to "Black" to avoid confusion with the international festival Sensation (formerly Sensation White). The festival was initially held at the Amsterdam ArenA, later at the Ethias Arena in Hasselt, Belgium.

Music style: Sensation Black was known for its focus on harder dance genres, such as hardstyle and hardcore. This was a contrast to the original "Sensation," which focused on trance and house.

Development: The event began in 2002 and ran at the Amsterdam ArenA until 2008.

Relocation: Subsequent editions, up to and including 2012, were held at the Ethias Arena in Hasselt, Belgium. 

Name change: In 2007, the name was changed to "Black" to distinguish it from the international festival "Sensation." There was also a special edition at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp in 2007.

Although I had never attended any editions of Sensation myself, I did had a lot of the compilations in my collection. I've selected, in my opinion, some of the coolest tracks that defined the first few hours from the earlier Black editions. Starting with some groovy club-techno tracks and build up towards some pumping Hard Trance in combination with a few Early Hardstyle tracks!
