Yes call it Hardstyle and thats it! I don't like how they want to splitt all the things in genres and categories. In the beginning was Hardstyle nothing more

[@TalZakur]

I'd technically not call it Euphoric, but a version of their Classic Nu-Style, but modernized.

They lost their kicks that’s for sure

[@DerekDeianov]

@@Woodlin94 Compared to the new horrible kicks from nowadays's shock factor era, this is golden. And the main climax kick is very good. And the mid intro with reverse bass also great

[@paulpremack4915]

Dear Showtek, The first hardstyle song I ever heard was FTS in my moms 2007 Toyota Yaris. She has passed now. I’ve seen you 7 times in Vancouver, and I’ll never forget meeting you both at Harbour. You were the coolest DJs I’ve ever met.. and I’ve met a lot I’m a diehard hardstyle fan, but I love all of your tracks. Three defqon weekends I’ve been to. Thanks for the memories. Past, present and future

[@aryanabdollahi]

Today SHOWTEK gave a great lesson to all Hardstyle DJs. After a few years, we heard a real hardstyle song...

[@davidahlstrom4711]

TNT is also doing a perfect job of the "old" sound

[@Fdeenewer]

Good hardstyle tracks are released every week by producers who never left hardstyle. For example Zatox, B-Front, Ran-D Hard Driver, Rebelion, Adaro.....

[@matteoalvigini6182]

@@Fdeenewer Yes, but perhaps he meant that they all took a slightly too raw way (Rebelion for example), But I agree with you if you know where to look real hardstyle has always continued to be done. And this dedication of love from Showtek is something very romantic for those who have been listening and following the genre for 15 years

[@hitfan]

I think MYST is great example of keeping this "real hardstyle" vibe. Before your eyes were my top listened song in 2023

[@Cuka19]

This is what I call the new age of Hardstyle music, this is the thing that will bring some kind of a revolution and a positive, radical change to our music scene, I believe... I haven't been sooooo touched by some Hardstyle track in a veeeeery long time now, so touched I cried like a baby last night when I heard the track for the first time, immediately at midnight. It has been almost like 2 to 3 years since I haven't been able to genuinely get that "feeling inside", when you hear those drops/kicks, melodies we all love, when your heart starts pumping harder, adrenaline rushes through your veins like crazy and you get that feeling when your stomach "flips over", caused by all the overwhelming emotions you are accumulating deep inside of you, you let them all out when you've been hit by this music... you know what I am saying? I believe we all have/had that feeling before, the feeling that was the reason we all fell in love with Hardstyle in the first place, especially when we first discovered it. :) This kind of meaningful Hardstyle tracks with some deeper message/meaning is what we NEED more than ever in these days, in this world nowadays. But also being able to embrace the new age, the new innovations and influences, to adapt to this new style, even tho it will maybe never be like it was back in the golden days. I just wanted to say: Thanks eternally to Hardstyle and all the Hardstyle producers/legends for saving my life countless times! I just fckin’ LOVE YOU! 🥹🧡 I learned to be my true self, y'all gave me all the confidence, power, hope and everything one young hopeless and abandoned teenage boy needed. I discovered who I really am, right after the moment I decided that I want to be the 'Hardhead' till my final breath. At first I was afraid that it will just be a phase, but no, after 5 years of knowing about this genre, it never got old, I never get tired of that feeling deep inside, I am now assured that my love for this music can never die! ☣️🧡

[@Disolved]

One of the best Qlimax 2023 moments. I never thought I'd get a chance to see Showtek live playing a hardstyle set, what to talk about an entire album of new music!

Dear Showtek, Beautiful track ! Full of feelings ! Some people says your return is just to do the buzz on the EDM scene. But only the real hardstyle lovers can truly see it's just about the love of doing good music, and share old memories again together.

The most hardstyle hardstyle song that has been produced in a long minute. No failed attempt at shitty uptempo, no cheap annoying zaags, just pure unadulterated hardstyle. Bring this back pls, cure hardstyle 😢

[@pascalschmierer3035]

What are zaags?

[@nonamernobrainer846]

​@@pascalschmierer3035He's referring to "zaagkicks". I don't know the origin of the name, but it's a term that describes drops in which there's no kick, just a continuous heavy baseline. An example of this is the first drop of "Numb" by Rebelion and Vertile. Quite annoying to if they are used regularly, but it's cool every once in a while.

[@ManuVentu]

This is not hardstyle, the kicks are rawstyle 🤡 RIP HARDSTYLE from 2017

[@martingansbacher3015]

@@ManuVentu NGL 2017 was such a peak year for hardstyle outside of the original golden era, many artists and new sounds that all just went well. Fond memories of 2017 and a lot of 2018 as well!
