In the mini docu, you’ll be taken on a journey along the different phases within hard dance, among which the commercialization of hardcore (“this was the end“) and the start of the hardstyle genre. Supported by old footage and interviews with artists such as Isaac, Luna, Pavo, Derb, Haze, JTS, Evanti, Fanatics, Desnar & Adaro they look back on performing with vinyl, the evolution of raw hardstyle and the rising popularity of early hardstyle.

“This short documentary shows the history of Hard Dance music, especially Hardstyle, originated in The Netherlands, combined with Haze/Artic his personal experiences and achievements. As we continue to move forward, we need to recap how we got here and celebrate what we have achieved. To relive these moments, DJ’s such as Isaac, Luna and Adaro are all featured in this documentary to tell their stories.”
