ACTIVATOR veteran of style showcase (31.07.2024)

"Winter song" showcases traditional country music - classy! It expresses lost love and longing. The close harmonies are excellent!
"Snow is falling, white as ash,
the ashes of our love.
Icicles hang like frozen tears
On the branches of the trees
As I dream of yesteryear
Winter's cold, but colder still, 
now you're gone"

MY definitions:
<2000-2006 = EARLY hardstyle
2006-2011 = CLASSIC hardstyle

I'm building an archive of all my favorite tracks. Especially honoring and showcasing the forgotten gems produced by my favorite artists!

BIO:
I started listening to hard dance music in 1999, at the age of 12, the year I went to high school. My taste was pretty random in those early days. But soon the Bitte Ein Beat series would change all that. After purchasing vol.2 and listening it over and over, I knew I had found a new passion in life!

Back then, the term hardstyle wasn't even conceived. We called it hardhouse at first, but that actually never felt right. Luckily someone, somewhere, came up with the name for this new sound: HARDSTYLE! And it felt right immediately.
