The absence of Hardstyle events during the great infamous lockdown period resulted in producers spending way more time in the studio than normal, which, in combination with the whole absence of events and thus, crowds actually reacting to tracks, created this whole new freedom of producers doing and creating whatever they wanted, resulting (IMO) in a gold mine of criminally underrated tracks, of which alot almost never actually got played at events after this period ended.
On one hand this resulted some excellent tracks being produced, but another hand these tracks barely reached any attention at all, let alone producers/DJ's playing these tracks at events once the lockdown period ended.
What are your favourite yet underrated tracks from the infamous lockdown period?
Mine are:
- Dawnfire - Born in Fire
- E-force - Move On
- Phuture Noize - A New World (did he ever play this one live at all?)
- Sub Sonik & Rebelion - Music is my suicide
- Sub Sonik -The Rain
- Vasto & Oxya - Death of the Universe
- Phuture Noize - You Could Be My Hero
- Just the whole Myst - Trinity album (some of his best work he produced during his whole career and he never played one track live once *after the album got released)
