My series of showcases about the SAIFAM labels; BLQ, Dance Pollution, Green Force, Red Alert & Titanic records. Productions made by artists like Technoboy, Tuneboy, Luca Antolini, Ricky T and other legends! With this edition we're almost at the end of an era (at least for me). 2008 was still a great year, but in hindsight I do hear the hardstyle sound that I love so much slipping away. Please don'...

Expect awesome dark atmospheres and a really unique sound. Well done Fabian and I wish you were still producing this kind of music! Hopefully you'll appreciate this showcase mix! TRACKLIST: 01- Ultraform - Sense Your Min...

Hello and welcome to this new showcase! A true early HARDstyle edition. Showcasing the legendary label: SYS-X! Founded by hardcore scene legends Nosferatu, Ruffneck and Endymion. Too bad that they stopped producing hardstyle after just 2 years! By the way, vol.2 will be about what came next for the label :) TRACKLISTING: 01- Teknoid - Edge of Darkness 02- Mindcontroller - Slave 03- High Voltage -...

Hi everyone! Finally managed to do my 'ultimate' Kamui showcase! It has been requested a few times. So I hope they'll be happy with the result, I am at least ;) It was such a joy listening these tracks again. Even discovered a few that I somehow missed out on back in the days. Awesome! This showcase has it all: From their 'traditional' hardtrance beginnings, to their later banging techdance stuff!...

Hello again! It's been a while. Hoping everybody's safe and sound! Time to kick off the year with some classic hardstyle. It's my ultimate take on Josh & Wesz and Low-E (Glowiej). These guys were releasing some bomb tracks when I was starting to get into DJ'ing. Always an inspiration! Me and my mate Reverzer always tried to capture that same drive/energy in our own sets. Party-style as we called i...

First of all: Merry Christmas! I got a nice surprise for you all ;) Here we are at the end of 2020. I thought people could use some distraction, so I'm uploading not 1, but 2 new showcases! I've put some serious effort in them, so I hope it will be appreciated! 2004 marks the year that I went to my first DefQon (at Almere strand; what an amazing location!) and Qlimax (underaged that is. I was 17 y...

Hello guys! Time for something different again. I made a showcase of my recent favorite acid techno tracks. Fun thing is that all the producers in this mix are my early hardstyle heroes! Let's see: T78 (Activator), FOLUAL (Luca Antoni, 1/3), A*S*Y*S, Kai Tracid, Scot Project and Zatox! TRACKLIST: 01- T78, Dino Maggiorana - Hardcore 02- A.S.Y.S, Kai Tracid, Tom Wax - Freedom of Expression 03- FOLUA...

Anyone here who remembers this artist? Da Boy Tommy was an Belgian jumpstyle/hardstyle producer in the late '90 / early '00. He had some great success with his tracks like Kol Nedra, Halloween and Full Moon. I knew those ones from his album 'I Love School' and you'll mostly hear tracks taken from that one in this showcase. Sadly Tommy passed away in 2013 after a heavy car accident :'( R.I.P. Tommy...

A new showcase is finished! It's my 'ultimate' take on the early works of Brennan Heart. Right after he split from Heart, nowadays better known as Thera (notice the anagram?). It also marks the time when he started the Scantraxx sublabel M!D!FY. The tracks in there are from the era about 2005 to 2008. So most of them are more early than 'classic'. Though you do hear the first triplet rhythms/melod...

Wow, I can't believe it's almost been 5 years since I made vol.3 of my Hardclassics series! Well, here's the next installment! Enjoy this 60 minute showcase of the finest early hardstyle bangers! I also made a new playlist containing all previous volumes. Please check it out >> https://soundcloud.com/audioholik-nl/sets/hardclassics-an-early TRACKLIST: 01- Mauro Picotto - Back 2 Cali (Classix Mix)...

Hello followers! Most of you probably don't know that next to mixing, I also like to produce tracks myself! I started with it like 13 years ago, just when the nustyle wave was striking. At the time I wanted to make stuff like that but never made something I thought good enough to share. In hindsight I know now I wanna make some early hardstyle/hardtrance influenced tracks! I still have lots to lea...

New showcase is finished! This time it's my 'ultimate' take on Swiss producer: Wavetraxx! Some amazing hardtrance tunes coming for him lately. For this showcase I focused on the last 3 to 4 years. With most of the releases on labels like Hard Trance Europe (HTE) and Hyper Reality records. Huge respect to those labels supporting this sound! I really like his more 'trance-y' approach to his tracks....

Hi everybody, time for a new showcase! I think most of you know Tuneboy. This alias has been around since before the millenium and still going strong. Antonio Donà, one of the SAIFAM group masterminds is behind this project. And what numerous bangers he produced the last two decades! His discography and aliases go on and on, haha! Nowadays he is often performing with his mate and equal legend, Tec...

Finally managed to finish a new showcase! This time it's about the Dutch hero's SHOWTEK! Nowadays the brothers are far away from producing hardstyle, but back in the days they're always pioneering and leading the way! For this showcase I picked tracks from 2003 till 2006. The sweet spot for me. The golden years, haha! ;) Also, I left out a great amount of cool tracks which I will showcase in the n...

Please check out this mix I did last year! Never uploaded it here and felt that now is the time ;) Beware of some massive tempo (190+, haha!) Note: All tracks are from 2016 or before. Tracklisting: 01- Nukem - Tales From The Moshpit 02- Brutale and Rob Gee - No Compromise 03- Meccano Twins and The Sickest Squad - WTFU 04- The Sickest Squad and Lenny Dee - Strike (Bit Reactors Remix) 05- Andy The C...

First of all: Happy liberation day Dutchies! A nice opportunity to upload a new showcase! This time inspired by recent Gentech live sets. Gentech is a collaboration of the legendary Scot Project and Mark Sherry. The sets are a mix of hard- and techtrance and loaded with cool remixes/bootlegs! Please enjoy my take on this concept! TRACKLIST: 01- Scot Project - F2 (Future Is Now!) (Zorastra's MvM Re...

Get ready for some more summer vibes! Please check out this trance session I did a few years back. I still enjoy it and listen it often. Loaded with Arty productions. Great producer IMO! Tracklisting: 01. Arty, Matisse and Sadko - Riot 02. Porter Robinson - Lionhearted (Arty Remix) 03. Arty ft. Angel Taylor - Up All Night 04. Above and Beyond vs Arty - You Got To Believe 05. Arty - Flashback 06. P...

A change of pace again! This time it's a showcase of my favorite Subground releases. Produced by one of my favorite producers: Activator! (most of the tracks at least) Nowadays he chooses to go by his old alias T78 with a more techno influenced sound. You can definitely hear the beginnings of that choice in these tracks. Note: The discontinuation of the 'Qult' parties killed this whole scene. And...

Welcome to my new showcase! For this one I was mostly inspired by the liveset of Max B. Grant at Qlimax 2003. Man-o-man, some great memories there! Pascal (@Philippe-Rochard) even provided me some tracks I couldn't find anywhere. Once again, very thankful for that! He produced most of these tracks. Such an icon in the early hardstyle scene! Enough talk! Everybody keep strong and safe amidst this C...

New month, new showcase! Behold an hour and a half of my favorite Headhunterz classics! It's in my opinion the ULTIMATE, haha ;) Most of these tracks are from the period 2006 (HHz breakthrough year; who doesn't love that XQ The Prophet set?!) to 2008 (release of the Project 1 album with Wildstylez). I truly love those first years of releases. It sounded so fresh back then! TRACKLIST: 01- Antifact...

LINK to previous KAT showcase >> https://tinyurl.com/s5dkfxt Please check out my new Italian Masters showcase! Vol. 4 is all about DJ Kat! Such an amazing (and forgotten!) early hardstyle producer. His nickname or suffix was always Alkolik. I guess he liked a beer or some hard liquor ;) I certainly love these tracks very much! The variation in them is so cool. Expect some techno and jump influence...
