Hardstyle, sometimes referred to as hardbass, is a sub-genre of trance music that is closely related to nu style gabber (rave) and hard trance. Being a fusion of both Hard Trance and Hardcore Techno (as in gabber), Hardstyle is grouped in the Hard Dance section. Its sound is usually characterized by a four to the floor kick beat and an off-beat gabber style bass line, trance like synth stabs and sweeps and miscellaneous samples. Tracks often feature excessive reverb and/or other effects, breakdowns and occasionally small breakbeat sections. The average tempo is between 140 and 150 bpm, around 30 slower than nu style gabber.
