[@cuidatuscomicsylibros8897]

Brutal, llevaba años preguntándome donde estaban esas canciones legendarias del gran Paul Elstak, no las suele pinchar casi nunca, pero está claro que cuando las saca a relucir arrasa. Una gran sesión si señor.... Offensive.....

[@legalhustletv9151]

Hay varios vídeos de el en vivo

[@Nightmacore]

Totalmente de acuerdo!!! 🧨

[@cuidatuscomicsylibros8897]

@@Nightmacore ¿ Sabéis alguno xq nunca pincha nada de su época dorada ? Muchísima juventud a la que se supone que le gusta el hardcore, conocen al Paul Elstak actual, pero no han vivido la leyenda. Y lo siento pero lo que oímos de el ahora está al 50% de sus posibilidades hardcore, el resto de productores le han comido terreno en las sesiones, siendo el uno de los más grandes. Todo lo que sacó con el sello Offensive lo mantendría en el podio. Neophyte, The Viper, Panic, Outblast, Promo, etc... y el hoy día desaparecido The Masochist ( también llamado dj Elkabas y hoy llamado The Prophet ) son grandes hitos que cuando se les ve siguen pinchando muchos de sus grandes éxitos, pero Paul parece haber cortado con sus temas más duros, como si no hubieran existido ¿ Sabéis alguno el motivo ?

[@Nightmacore]

@@cuidatuscomicsylibros8897 Quizás todo este tiempo ha considerado que por o A o por B actualmente sus temas clásicos no funcionan en pista o funcionan mejor otras cosas... Quizás directamente se cansó de escuchar esos temas quemándolos en lo personal una y otra vez... aunque es posible que estemos ante un cambio de ciclo y vuelva a sacarlos de paseo, ya que ya sabes... todo son ciclos. 🔥 P.D: Un placer haber leído tu comentario, se nota que tienes pasión por nuestro amado estilo: un abrazo!!!

[@cuidatuscomicsylibros8897]

@@Nightmacore Lo llevo escuchando desde sus inicios haya en el 92😁, recuerdo esos Thunderdome iniciales y el directo del 98 q aún tengo en CD x ahí.... Me hago viejo y los chavales ya no disfrutan está música con el corazón. Pasan los años y dejan el hardcore xq para ellos es solo una etapa, pero algunos lo consideramos música y no fiesta. Todos los días sacó al perro escuchando hardcore y los chavales me miran como a un loco y los de mi edad como a un desfasado.... Q se le va a hacer nunca entenderán mi música. Un saludo
