HSK 4 Concluded

So I haven't yet posted anything about how Hardstlye Kombat 4 was, which is disappointing. But I've found some time now to tell you what it was like for me.

The night before the party, the venue was changed due to the club owner of Gallery/Liquid having some issues. This was initially disappointing for all... until the night began.

CrazyBoy Productions did a fantastic job with the look and feel of the venue - perfect for the party! With the brilliant DJ's playing fantastic sets, awesome sound, awesome lighting, a friendly crowd feeling the hard beats - the party was surely one to remember.

Throughout the night many DJ's gave me CD's of their mixes for me to share with you guys. I still need to upload a few of them, but here's one of them from Elemental: http://soundcloud.com/elemental-south-africa/elemental-closer-the-hmsa

Here are some photos from the night:

Hardstyle Movement South Africa

HMSA Vision: BROADEN, EDUCATE AND EXPOSE A NU-AGE HARDSTYLE MOVEMENT IN SOUTHERN AFRICA!


It's been a long time coming where the Hard Dance Scene in South Africa needed a platform to showcase a hidden talent. Something fresh lurks and needs to be exposed.

This platform serves a basis for other promoters and individuals to gain serious interest and respect among the hardstyle artists and their followers. The rest of the world has adapted the nu-age hardstyle scene with open arms. It is time South Africa gives it a real chance and offers this option to the uneducated clubber.

HMSA will form the driving push and platform to expose this modern era of Hard Dance music offering outlets for DJ's, producers and fellow supporters the opportunity to have their voices heard!
