great new DUTCH hardcore!!!! Promo is a hero
Keep up the good work

Lol Promo, such a failure for the real Hardcore scene.
You lost my respect when you started with hardstyle also.

For all real Hardcore freaks, download the Buzz Fuzz mix that is beneath this Promo release.

"You lost my respect when you started with hardstyle also."


LOL promo and hardstyle rofllmaoloool hahaha fuckin moron do you even realise how dumb are

better exit this site and never come back :') :')²²²

вообще я бы написал отдельную потрэковую рецензию
на этот альбом, ибо он неоднозначен...
но, в двух словах, он бездарен с одной стороны, но,
с другой стороны очень проработаны арранжировки, звучат богато и насыщенно.
впечатляют интро и эффекты.
этот альбом очень полезен музыкантам для подетального анализа интересных
моментов - они присутствуют в каждом трэке, но асолютно неинтересен будет
габберам-обывателям, ибо весь материал лишен драйва, но не лишён чувства юмора)))) - CD 2: трэки 1 и 7.
особенно порадовал №1 - это породия на известный ролик
миди-клавиатуры от Creative - есть на YouTube. советую посмотреть)))
вот ссылка http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDC5jso9RUQ
вообщем, в итоге, альбом ниочём...
жанровая принадлежность: experimental-midtempo-dutch darkcore

Yes toxicbrain that's indeed a good cd but i'm looking for new hardcore. The songs on the cd from buzz fuzz are good but old. Promo brings something new or experimental to the scene and that's good and different from the rest. That make's promo great for the hardcore scene

That buzz fuzz CD is the REAL failure of commercial hardcore guys. Cheap tracks, lame tracks. So definitly a no to that one.

That you like that over this quality promo cd I can't understand.

And at Toxicbrain, Promo didn't produce hardstyle as far as I can remember. As well the fact that there are plenty hardcore producers, produce hardcore as well (Neophyte, Angerfist, Crucifier, Evil Activities).
And failure to the real hardcore scene? His beats are harder than the most of the mainstream of today

Imo crap cd slow, boring, uninspired

First Track sounds good but u need to pitch it up

@ LKE
"His beats are harder than the most of the mainstream of today "


Haha thats bullshit... This CD is soft, soft kicks etc.!

Lol, not sure what you listened to, but if you compare this to MOC, Neophyte, EA, even some Angerfist tracks, Placid K etc. this stuff has definitly harder kicks. Only the speed isn't thát fast with a couple of songs.

Yeah, thats right but the most tracks of this CD released in 2009, but this isn't the hardest :P

lol this shit is pure fucking art, these productions are so strong...

Promo is one of the best producers the HC scene has, he can do anything, any style and he does it almost perfectly...

This lady's and gentlemen, is art, pure motherfucking art, but most everyday hc freaks will not recognize it for what it is (art), cuz they are to narrow minded...

Big up for "Fuck that Mash up" like promo says, we need some new leaders, cuz nowadays "big names", stopped producing and started copying and making those fucking mash ups..

That fucks up the scene, not promo, one of the biggest producers the scene has...

_0_ promo _0_

Indeed Promo is one of the better producers in the scene today, with a fresh yet stable style, you know what you can expect from him, yet you never know what you're gonna get.

Promo has never produced hardstyle, but even if he did, I don't see how broadening your views wouldn't be good for your productions.

I also agree with snatzzz, it bores me to hell when the kids think a DJ is oh so great because he can spin 3 of those minimix mash-ups after each other, mainly because said kid wasn't there to hear 98 to Piano when it was fresh.

He is a good producer, thats right but what do you think of Headbanger, Party raiser, Dj Paul Elstak... That are really hard Dj's! :-P

I like that

Paul Elstak & Headbanger hard? Partyraiser I can understand.
But they don't make quality hardcore. They make a cheap track and place a hard kick under it, that's it. Partyraiser also speed the stuff up. But hard doesn't mean quality.

Hmm hard to explain but all of the Dj's/producers you mentioned have a history of producing the same style hardcore for over 5 years or so. Headbanger is a better remixer these days.

I dont think so.. But what do you think of Evil Activities? They are not the hardest, but make quality tracks as well...

What a disscusion about promo haha..

i'm going to search my promo songs and
make a mix with (i thingk) the best songs of promo
for the people who s like promo i will upload it as soon it is finissed... :D

lmao at calling EA a quality

Thats just repeating the same shit over and over again, no innovation, and turning hardcore into fucking pop with all those shitty breaks and god knows what lol

and paul, headbanger and partyraiser arent exactly great producers either, like LKE said, hard kicks but thats it, same tricks over and over, simplistic tracks, no deeper meaning...

Enjoyable ofcourse, certainly at a party, but u cant compare them with Promo, its just simple shit...

Like i said, this album is art, but most narrow minded hc freaks will not understand that, as you show...

Everyone have his own favourite Dj

I believe that EA did bring quality to the hardcore scene, but it's not the hardest hardcore and with alot of cheese over it

Also, Promo has made a lot of great things for hardcore. A history of hardcore still over 15 years... Теперь по-русски %)

Достаточно вспомнить его вещи конца 90-х и начала 2000-х. И не стоит говорить, что хардкор повторяется вновь и вновь. Мы видим что он развивается, и Promo один из лучших.

В продолжение...

...and if you think, dear SNATZZZ, "...thats it, same tricks over and over, simplistic tracks, no deeper meaning..." please, told us, what you want from hardcore?

Hell yeah! Thats what I mean!
but again, everyone have his own favourite DJ

Promo is homo (thats our dutch name for him)
the most track suckess big time.. :P but thats my opinion.....

LOL, I don't even understand how, with an release like this, it is even POSSIBLE for people to disrespect Promo and deny him his earned status at the "top of the scene"

Same goes for EA, his album last year was epic, call it repititive, I'd say if you compare Vengeance, with Evilution, and with Nobody Said It Was Easy, that it's not that repititive at all.

I mean, every producer has a certain style he has as a 'basic' for ANY track. The influence of the artist him/her-self will always be heard in theory. That doesn't mean one makes "the same" track a 100 times. Just means the artist developed an own style. (or copied the style, but that's obviously not the case here)

do you guys even think this is hardcore? some tracks look just like jumpstyle

1/10....

thanks

Promo is commercial shit!!

"some tracks look just like jumpstyle"

YOU need to get either your ears or your brain checked

'Henkie'
Thats not me!

This is fucking great...

ill be bumping this shit in the cutty in no time...

god... best blog website EVER....

Evil Activities = Hard Trance

I can't believe you even brought up his name in this convo.

EA with their pop shit dont make me laugh...

they had a couple of good tracks, but all their tracks are being produced the same way, look a like, and get softer and more popish by the release...

latest album was a fucking disgrace imo, and although a lot of the "hc heads" like "Nobody said it was easy", to me its another sign that HC is going the wrong way again...

Certainly if that track is being loved by so many...

some of the tracks are good but the most of them not!
HaRDCORE 4 LiFE
HOLLAND!

EA is pure good MAINSTREAM HARDCORE
if you don't like that, go listen Industrial/Terror/Frenchcore w/e

EA isnt pure mainstream...

EA is pure popmusic

How is that popmusic... what's your idea of Mainstream Hardcore than? :\

EA delivered a great album, but no pop-music-lover would like it...

lke http://rapidshare.com/files/212105280/T3RDM0152.rar dis a download link van promo?

I like harder shit too but you can't diss promo. At least he shows some originality that's something most dj's don't have anymore. Promo beats the shit out of the mainstream crap!!!

@ tom yes it is

and that guy that calls himself henkie and says 'promo is homo' is not me to
it's just somebody that used the same name as me
I think this is a pretty good album with several good tracks

Dont really like Promo tracks right now...I'll download it from curiousity

I downloaded this album out of curiosity and was rather disappointed.

Pros:
-Indeed, a lot of his music can be considered original and non-commercial
-Many of these song have wonderful melodies and great sound
-Wide variety of style

Cons:
-Heavy rap influence that takes away from the true hardcore feel
-Very similar intros on most songs

The rap influence was too much and was what ultimately made me delete about 70% of what I downloaded on this particular album.

Great Album, nice original tracks, nice kicks and basses.
Very Good vocal/sample uses, especially for that collab song with the wishmaster, SILENCE SURROUNDS ME.

I already got this album, but for the great part ; iam getting a signed copy as well cause i won a dutch quiz... LOL

-.-

many thanks to

terror1st

RUSSIAN KGB HARDCORE POWER

SPASIBA TO ALL MY RUSSIAN AND SOVIET FRIENDS,

HARDCORE TO THE BONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Promo was great 10 years ago.Hi was my favourite dj,but now thats not mine what he is doing.
A very good dj,producer but not my style anymore.
And i dont like hardstyle,commercial etc, but that industrial is too strange..^^
Turn back the time to 1995 pls...:-D
Shadowlands was great..:-9

greetings

I don't think this release is THAT bad.
Yeah, it could be much better, coming from Promo who does have a big name.
But still good for a party and considerably good to get the HC scene moving.
7/10

Oh, and EA is sucking lately. They started really amazingly, but seems that they're gonna end in the harddance scene or something...

No hardstyle here ...
I think Promo has proven himself to be very innovative in his own way, and he tends to bring something new to the table almost everytime he releases something. Although many of the tracks have been previously released, "Quality control" is still a very good album. I like it very much and i think of it as a true quality product.
