I wish Riff Raff would do a bit of Hardstyle aswell as the other hard genres, dont get me wrong i love a bit of hard techno/trance, but hardstyle is my true love and i just think it would make the event much better and appeal to more people in the hard scene, cheers for listening to the rant!

Niceeeeeeeee :)

Please, anything but hardcore at RR

don't even know what it is tori.. just thought it sounded like a suitably mad way to do b2b classical.. :)

(i'd still like the ramps & podiums though :))

lol yeh it would be pretty hilarious to be fair

ahahahahaha i never thought all this would hapen when i posted that topic! the genres sometimes do my head in aswel!, hard techno/trance/acid/nrg, hardstle, gabba speed core.... fuck it i love it all! cheers riff raff and once again selkirk that set was amazing!

Gotta think, when all these famous composers made these world famous historical symphonys back in't daaays before elecricty, did they really ever think that some chump could use and resample their master pieces into elctronic noises in the form of hardstyle from their bedroom?

I think they'd be flattered.

That'd be epic, I'll bring my cello ;].

Seriously though, you should look up PVC by Eryk Orpheus. It's a classical/hardcore track and it's INCREDIBLE

i like the kinky mix on his myspaz :)

maybe we could get u playin it on your cello, steph - on a podium with james flyin thru the air doin skateboard stunts. we could take over the car park at the wic, film it & project THAT onto the dance floor :))

Haha every mix I've heard has fucked about with it way too much or oversimplified it to the point of cheese, but the originals 3/8 or something which isnt gonna convert to hard dance too easily ^^

I think we're onto a winner here ;D

My comments on this matter, without having any knowledge of RiffRaffs is as follows... Why would a club that play an eccletic mix of genres to suit an existing demograph of punters suddenly start playing a niche style? This would alienate existing regulars and possibly not encapsulate the new hardstylers this change would attract as they would be playing other styles from the rave genre also (from my experiance Hardstylers are very loyal to Hardstyle, im sure that they have other tastes but as a part of the rave fraternity they seem very into this one style).
Also - in responce to GolGotha - (who i have met and she is very nice in person)... We have all, im sure, 'taken one for the team' and gone to an event/night that was not to our tastes and had a great night, but what would you feel like if you went to HDS and they played Drum and Bass? I'm sure you would feel irritated and cheated!
It seems to me the thing that encapsulates the RiffRaff crowd is the exsisting formula that the dj's promoters have acheived. If i went to a Radiohead concert and the cheeky girls were playing i too would not dance!
...Oh one last thing Gol, with all respect in the world you and your buddies are to me Goth-esque, in so far that you are cross-over people... Are you honestly telling me that you have never rocked out to The Cure??? Come on treacle - pull the other one ;) lol xxx

Riff Raff best underground night I have ever been to except for perhaps cypher why not play some hardstyle there is always some hard house mixed in to some of the sets and hardstyle is way better IMO. The only thing that ever disappoints me about Riff Raff is when it just isn't hard enough and it very rarely disappoints. Would love to see Cabbage in the other room as well for a one off or something!

THE END... see you in June for an eclectic hard genre set list from your fave's.....

thanks for the discussion... and info

u reckon? well, maybe so, if you're a mod & u have the power to close this thread, but this is one of the best riff raff threads i've ever participated in.

with the exception of the tangents regarding golgotha's whatever, i think some pretty thought provoking stuff has been aired here.

thank you T-to-the-H for startin something that had so much mileage in it.

nice one :)

Dont say that, his head will double in size.

im no mod - i have a car!

after all this iv just found out hardertimez is on the same night as riff raff! i hate it when this happens! decisions decisions...

LMFAO!
