[@kfoalbfkdkd5302]

Hats off to you mate, the best tracks put into a single video.

You left some esport videos in the playlist (;

[@larsdierickx3117]

Gonna archive this and show it to my kids

[@nintendodan4our]

9:08 This kick needs to come back...

[@gamixx1517]

Gated kick i think

[@xTera1337]

so true ...

[@RikRaben]

Its not a gated kick

[@revrs3clan637]

Love that kick

[@botyorick]

2008,2009 and maybe 2010 are just the best... Legendary track after legendary track. I hope times like this will come again for hardstyle

[@kimoliverschloer9535]

Yorick Giese i hope so too Bro!!

[@kaosrawstyle]

If you ignore the europhic hardstylez channel then hardstyle is actually starting to go back to the golden age. I had such a negative view on the new stuff until I realised its all just EDM remixes being posted by one channel and is not reflective of what's actually being played at Q-dance today.

[@Ares4]

Hardstyle is definetely where it should be right now, 2017 was already a huge year and now 2018. Bright future for all the harder stylez like for Hardcore and so on.

[@botyorick]

@@Ares4 well I agree...kinda...2017 and 2018 both gave us awesome tracks and through all the producers making rawphoric we are finally leaving the annoying split between raw and eupho behind, BUT it's not quite golden era yet. I would call it a renaissance

[@iCrapBubbles]

Every. Single. Damn. Release. Was soooooo damn exciting during this time! Everytime there was a new song, people went so crazy! Most hardstyle releases now are just... "meh, meh..." I genuinely feel sorry for whoever got into hardstyle late, because they missed out, BIG TIME.

[@kostasskarletis6835]

My opinion: Back in the days we had many legendary tracks that will always be remembered but one thing we did not have is variety. What I mean is that nowadays there are way more elements and details in the hardstyle scene (there are always exceptions).Now there are way more choices in what style of hardstyle you prefer but sadly the amount of tracks that will write history is limited.

[@francoisbrunet8171]

Circle and Square by PN is one of these new classics

[@diabolicesper2972]

Scrap attack & Ti sento 😍

[@Ilegator]

3:57 Donkey Rollers - Silver Bullet This is still one of my favourite Hardstyle tracks.

[@Axelade]

Creepiest Hardstyle track by far :O

[@Ilegator]

@@Axelade That melody is just too good. Many Hardstyle Classics had a point that you can't find nowadays.

[@kfoalbfkdkd5302]

Innocent is great too

[@guillefernandezz]

Technoboy is such a god

[@kimoliverschloer9535]

Headhunterz was some kind of god back those days.. fuaaark guys, time flies, but at least we got all these melodies in our hearts..forever ✊!❤

[@TheNviate]

Thought just the same, still can't believe that Rock Civilization is from 2007, that melody is from another world.

[@botyorick]

I don't know why but "Leap of Faith" kinda gave me some of the old HHZ feels I hope he still has it in him...

[@pre6t569]

ye leap of faith brings up old feelings

[@dantheultimate2497]

Yeah, the problem is because of his previous absolutely legendary tracks, we have very high expectations of him. I like his new stuff but I don't think he will ever truly be the "old" Headhunterz again. But that's okay, that time is over now, he has changed and so have we. I will forever thank him for creating the greatest music I've ever heard. But now it's other creators' turn to create their generation's "legendary" tracks.

[@pre6t569]

@@dantheultimate2497 ye sub zero project for example are creating legendary tracks

[@joaonobrega1560]

For me Headhunterz and noisecontrollers made some of the best Hardstyle songs of all time

[@IndicesDon]

Joao Nobrega and technoboy and dbstf them four made some of the best ever

[@mikhailtal1566]

Frontliner too.

[@GalaxyDeem]

No Wildstylez? 😢

[@iCrapBubbles]

@@GalaxyDeem Wildstylez wrote some of the most incredible melodies and music for me. Same with artists like Josh & Wesz, Bioweapon and Scope DJ. Super underrated and talented musicians, man. Those guys hardly released a bad song.

[@huyquang9889]

I'm a newbie to hardstyle community but I's true thatold hardstyle have something very atractive to me

[@unaizabaletaaldaz3435]

Welcome 😉 try some Hardcore too!

[@gamixx1517]

Don't try hardcore , try frenchcore

[@PAAYNE]

Welcome to the community buddy.

[@angelm7781]

Underground music is your best option... Every hard dance songs are a masterpiece to me. Also, you sould look for Hard Trance and Old psychodelic Trance! My recommendation to Hard Trance: Sully-Revolution and every fucking song of Ultraform xD. To Old school Psytrance: Quantum Leap vs Psyche Logos - Our Dreams.

[@kristianvandenberge4932]

thanks for 30 minutes of goosebumps and nostalgia, there's literally no bad track in this list

[@moel8230]

Early Hardstyle was just a sub genre - now it has become its own main genre like Rock, Hip Hop or House. Its a Lifestyle!

[@Image-vj3jz]

Technoboy, Headhunterz, D-Bock & S-te-fan and Brennan Heart was just on a whole other level back then.

[@nt3n021]

Video seems empty without your comments during the songs axelade

[@rapetoz4444]

true

[@kpapenburg102]

True, but these songs speak for themselves

[@GermanGlob]

Started listening to Hardstyle when I was 10..now im 20 and I miss this times soo freaking much.. the melodies were out of this planet and Im proud that i grew up in this time.

[@paulm.5037]

I was born in 2002 and I know Hardstyle since some years and I don't know why but I really love old Hardstyle ❤

[@lalyredorphee217]

Same here dude, I know Hardstyle since I was 6 (2008) but I became a Hardstyle lover until 2014.

[@gamixx1517]

I was born in 2003 and i know hardstyle since 2010 , i became a hardstyle fan in 2016

[@YuukiiRyu]

I started to hear Hardstyle when i was young 16 years old, now with nearly 23 im still in love with Hardstyle. Also over the years you start listen to the other harder styles like Raw, Hardcore, Frenchcore etc

[@theomegawolf6276]

Born in 2001, first hardstyle track ever heard in 2005. Hardstyle is life.

[@peterjackoville4272]

Been listening to hardstyle since I was 14/15, but at 17 it became my favourite genre :)

[@Glubre]

Man 2009 is such a vibe

[@briantu822]

I was born in 2003 and start listening to Hardstyle since last year I feel so sad because I can't be part of the old hardstyle fans And there are few people in my country listen to Hardstyle Thank you Axelade for helping me get deeper into this incredible world of Hardstyle

[@piwo_]

Well same thing for me haha started listening to this amazing genre last year and I absolutely love these pieces of history :) (oh and I'm the only one of all the people that I know that listens to hardstyle)

[@briantu822]

@@piwo_ I know that feeling 😢 None of my friends listen to Hardstyle ……

[@VisualsDude]

Wait till you discover makina 😅 Now that's a genre that will hit nothing in conversations, but there is some magnificent stuff hidden in that genre.

[@whosTreq]

I recommend watching ' Tuneboy - Qlimax 2016 ' for some more nostalgia

[@mauricekrell2724]

It was the first set i watched when I returned to hardstyle last year after 5 years of absence :')

[@whosTreq]

@@mauricekrell2724 No doubt the best set for good memories! :D

[@TheNviate]

this should be a must watch for everyone who enters the scene :D I need to mention something: i know these comments are the most stupid ones under a video like this, and especially in 2009 when so many great tracks were produced you can't include everything. BUT I really miss CTRL.ALT.DELETE, as this track had SUCH an impact on the scene, the kick is still something like a blueprint for todays euphoric kicks. Not that big of a critique tho 'cause see above. Still love this video

[@Axelade]

I really wanted to put in Ctrl.Alt.Delete but the other tracks are just too good imo. Already put in 16 tracks in 2009 instead of 15 like the others :P

[@TheNviate]

@@Axelade 2009 was just too good I think :D. Still the best year Hardstyle has ever seen.

[@Jose-yx3ek]

Listening to this I cannot help but remember all the random raid videos of World of Warcraft that had hardstyle as their soundtrack. 2007-2009 for me

[@bobibg4ever]

Haha awesome! Wow and hardstyle ❤

[@nigel9907]

12:52 we all remember this song from the hardstyle mix video with the clown! (age705)

[@DJKurosaki]

I was going to comment on one of the tracks during the 2012 segment and say that didn’t get released til next year, but then I looked back into the endshow for Defqon.1 2012 and I was like “Ah, fuck it. Why am I complaining? This is one of Wildstylez best tracks!”

[@KienJohnsonDye]

I've known about hardstyle since about 2014 and been hooked since 2016 so this vid just reminds me of Legends 2017

2011-2012 best era of hardstyle That kind of kick needs to come back

[@TaintBeater]

Id have to say, Colours of the harder styles will have a special place in my heart.. It was my very first hardstyle song ever, which lead me into a world of distorted sounds, and phenomenal melodies, extraordinary kicks. Hardstyle will forever live on in my life!!

I feel we are settling back into a new and great age of hardstyle in terms of euphoric side. I feel phuture noise, bfront, stonebank, darren styles are the pioneers

NOSTALGIA 😭😞☹️

[@kaosrawstyle]

The reason the scene changed is because now we have progressive house EDM producers thinking they can produce hardstyle bringing shitty progressive house sounds to a scene that doesn't work with them. They grew up on house, the old hardstyle producers grew up on gabber.

nearly cried with this... what a fucking amazing video, thanks dude.

[@mikhailtal1566]

This is REAL HARSTYLE . ❤️❤️❤️

[@stgma8609]

Great video!! My opinion on these old hardstyle tracks is quite diverse, on the one hand there are these insanely good songs with incredible melodies and on the other hand there are some that I just find too boring and weird but I guess that is also happening with music these days so I shouldn't be really complaining about it. Additionally, it is fascinating to see how the sound has evolved during the years and how some of these classics paved the path to the hardstyle that is made today and we all love. Truly most of these masterpieces will never be forgotten and once in a while it is good to go back and listen to them in order to see, lets say, the "history" of the genre. Im closing my really big comment by saying that I find Frontliner's tracks real masterpieces, I dont know why but I love almost every track this producer made, is it just me?

[@angelm7781]

Oh my fucking god... One of the best videos on youtube! I can't imagine how much time time you have spent making this list bro! You and TopEDM, the best EDM channels.
