The Darkside of Hardstyle | Qlimax 2024

[@WANDERSESSIONS]

These lightshows intros will always hit different at Q-dance events.

[@mike26037]

Especially Qlimax. Gonna miss it.

[@scantraxx]

Without shadow there won't be light, thank you for everything Qlimax! 💛

[@crazyproje]

this is what hardstyle now is missing, atmosphere, from euphoric to dark. strike sorrow and seven perfect choice

you are a freaking legend man

[@edmlover8842]

This is so much better then modern hardstyle

[@Aureas133]

lol to me this sound was 'the new sound' and at the time I really didn't like it. Guess it's what you grow up with.

[@ventusluca]

@@Aureas133 Yeah I think you're right. I've noticed too that some of my friends who only started listening post 2016 are starting to complain about the "new" sound that's currently developing. Just like I complained about Hardstyle deviating too much from what it was in 2008-2013. Just like many complained about Nu-style back in those days. It just super sucks that the music seems to follow a "meta" and that as a result thereof the music we fell in love with back in the day isn't made anymore. I feel like all these styles should be able to co-exist. Maybe these are things that we will see return as the genre grows.

[@fireworks1997]

@@Aureas133 What do you think of this sound now? Still don't really like it?

[@ruckiofficial9138]

For Sure!!!

[@Aureas133]

@@fireworks1997 I still don't really like it. I do like some of the newer sound like the early raw and euphoric stuff. My heart will always be at the reverse bass.

[@MrSHURIKENCHO]

The crowd roar when we heard Seven was a biiig highlight

I couldn´t control myself after hearing that ´laugh´

That cheer from the crowd when they heard the laugh from ''Seven''. Amazing ❤

[@riven6618]

*its just so good!*

[@kamildebczak83]

That's pure Qlimax

[@kacimierz]

Words can't describe how amazing this felt while being there. I really loved the dark atmosphere of this act.

[@jamesterek]

I was totally crazy when I heard the voice of "Sorrow". Gunz for Hire was something at this time ❤

[@elliejohnston2375]

🤩🙌❤️

[@Ometen]

One of if not the best "Set" of the night. Perfectly capturing the dark essence of Qlimax. To bad that the show elements didnt work at all if you were in the front ... so show wise it was lackluster. But i can appreciate it watching it back from home. Wished they would have thrown in more lasers in the first half of the night :(

[@lanorc]

I was in the middle. No one knew this was even a show and just raved on! Only at seven we relapsed there was no dj

[@PlushElk]

In return, you got something up front and in the middle that no one could ever capture with a camera. I can watch the show now, the feeling of being in the crowd and feeling the music, you'll never get that again.

[@Ometen]

@@PlushElk Uff comment section is getting heavily moderated :D i just went in detail what the problems where and tada comment is gone.

[@Benjydodow02]

An Amazing qlimax. The show, the lights, the music, the atmosphère... The émotions...Waw 🙏🖤❤️ QLIMAX FOREVER IN US . Merci 🇫🇷❤️

[@psyroNofficial]

Uhhffff... first time had tears during E-Force - Seven , unmatchable show in any sense!

[@rafaello9834]

The best music! The best event in the world! Good day for everyone!

[@kiraney7404]

Well not for everyone, my brother was sick and had to leave early. Mood was destroyed after that

[@ErwinPPP]

@@kiraney7404why does one go to these kinds of things.. while you’re sick. That’s asking for trouble.

[@kiraney7404]

@@ErwinPPP well, he got sick on the event, we did not know it would go this way. When we were driving towards the gelredome he was fine but sfter coone he was starting to feel bad and left 4 hours later. We luckily got to experience the headhunterz tribute set from the tribune. After that he left and i had to drive back home. So i had to take it easy, Thats why the mood was killed.

[@R0bbie4141]

07:30 actually made me cry. I miss this so much. The glory days of hardstyle. I am happy I was a part of this. :)

[@ExtremeTeddy]

😭 The last edition is in its own league. Such a great atmosphere, felt like back in the old days 🥰🥳

[@SirDJoe]

08:54 Sorrow! Pulled back my energy to 150%

[@kevinbromfield7595]

That E-Force - Seven track, I will never get tired of

[@205marco]

7:10 B-Freqz - Fatality HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

[@keshams3665]

Couldn’t believe they played that song.

[@waltercabrejas8085]

Qlimax tiene que volver . Es muy grande para desaparecer. Qlimax es una pasion

[@kez2k]

What a track to end on

[@Steven-wd5jv]

This just shows how the scene covers all sides from the dark side to euphoric absolutely love how hard style/hardcore can do that ❤

[@walther89]

E-Force - Seven is just perfectly creepy when its dark amazing feeling tho hooly 14:09

[@JenteRoelfsema]

Get the AV and production folks a big raise. damn thats quality.

[@boaz3898]

Dit is hoe Hardstyle hoort te zijn.

Seven always goes hard

[@muhammadnabilhakimi9237]

the whole night was insane, I'm going to miss qlimax really bad 😢

[@Benjydodow02]

Sorrow... Legendary 🖤🔥

[@borstenpinsel]

1:15 amazing lights 😮😊

[@findlay1arches]

One of the few things the last ever qlimax got right. This is a great track selection

[@walther89]

what is perfect that its consistent with correct rhythm not 2024 versions its all over theplace its disgusting.

[@lanorc]

@@walther89correct. This mix was spot on and felt harmonized. Deepack zany Luna set was also the best of the night! The rest was weird. I mean Brennan heart playing sweet Caroline was a cok block!

[@findlay1arches]

Totally agree. I thought mad dog got a pass too but the night failed big time

[@Mixxster]

​@@findlay1archeseveryone loves the early sets and ambience, whether euphoric or this more raw/dark style. Inviting disturb, act of rage and rebellion playing zaag kicks on the last qlimax was such a bad decision. Would've loved to see other artists that made qlimax what it was...

[@findlay1arches]

Totally agree. Q dance dropped the ball big time with this event. Didn't feel special at all just a regular 2024 line up. Terrible ​@@Mixxster

[@Finnish_summer]

best set for me, absolute mad track selection. And, the visuals omg!!!

[@DJMKN93]

That ending with Seven is unreal 😮

[@GlJoh]

Dark hardstyle is priceless ❤

[@dadalifeview4327]

Coś pięknego 🔥💥

[@timdawesau]

The fact that this was a 3 day FIFO from Australia will never be a regret for me. Qlimax is the most epic event and I'm forever glad I went to the last one.

[@FinishingTouchVLM]

The darkness of QDance is hanging by a thread. I'd say about 85% of the fans want old-school Hardstyle dark nonstop beats no long ass build ups no Newstyle melodies BRING HARDSTYLE BACK.

[@raulleiva1704]

we dont want to sing. hahahahaha say it. we want to dance.

[@Ometen]

To be fair its mainly the older demographics, myself included but the newer generations seem to have different takes on the genre. Since they are now the main audience for festivals its completely fair that the genre is shifting in their favour.

[@FinishingTouchVLM]

@Ometen really because I haven't seen one teen in any after movie

[@raulleiva1704]

@@Ometen they just changed music for marketing. it is ok. i just want a dj and music. thats why they do 15 min to have a nice video for youtube. fuck that shit. they lost their head.

This set made my night, i think this set broke my 5.000 steps during 1 set record cause damn i loved it!🧡

[@JenariJosh]

Amazing journey through all tracks and impressive lights. Every song looked and felt diferrent and never out of place. Seriously impressive work, producers, LDs, techs, and all that were involved

[@salvatorepisano2389]

The best laser show of Qlimax all time

[@the_unknown_.x._]

Laser? What?

[@Ometen]

Sry i have to be this guy. 1. There are no lasers present this is a pure Lightshow mixed with a little bit of Pyro. 2. Over the years Qlimax has provided insane show elements this was rather minimalistic. 3. The show didnt work if you were there and in the first half of the arena. It was not dark enough and most of the action just had effect if you were further away from the stage. This mainly looks good on stream with the contrast cranked up.

[@justdoit0815]

⁠@@OmetenLike all what they do nowadays. Just do what‘s perfect for camera and aftermovies👍🏻

[@Ometen]

@justdoit0815 yep was really frustrated experienceing the show live. Sure some cool moments but man. Intros mostly mediocre. Lasers pretty rare and generic. Overall it was way to bright which makes it kinda awkward wich you see ppl around you just standing still. On top of it sound was miserable. I still had a blast but production wise this was kinda sad considering it was the last Qlimax.

[@goldkoepfchen88]

Der Beste Teil der letzten Qlimax!!!

[@ambianzemusic9117]

Show wise this was definitely the best set of the evening!

[@corinnagayer]

[@Mixxster]

Well i dont agree with best ever, but yes this is precisely what i would want qlimax to be. This last edition was mediocre for most part :/

[@DoL-Lasershows]

Massive, massive props to the LD(s?) for the insane timecode-shows that night. Holy f*, pure insanity. Much love

[@Djcimofficial]

Wish Alpha2 would of done this part of the night. Just saying. Wanted to hear the 2006 anthem at Qlimax. Especially with that stage face on the screen at the beginning.

Octavius Augustus (zany remix) was the first track which made me fall in love with early raw in 2013

[@MrSHURIKENCHO]

It does. Wonder why they didnt do this at the end. The ending was very underwhelming

[@ExtremeTeddy]

[@findlay1arches]

Agreed. The ending sucked ​@@MrSHURIKENCHO

[@Ometen]

@@MrSHURIKENCHO because most ppl would have missed it.

[@MrSHURIKENCHO]

@@Ometen Lol those "most people" didnt take this event seriously if they left early. Wit the exception of people who need to catch flights or something. It was the last Qlimax. The fact the light show was cut short for the last few sets was insulting. Mad Dog deserved so much more and all he got was auto lights and some lasers. I felt like the crew just went to bed early.
