Eurobeat Prime :: Forum

　　

I don't think any label sound "old-school" nowadays but I agree that Delta still resembles their older works many times. What I see is that it depends on the alias, maybe? Ken Martin's and Dave Rodgers's songs sound a lot like their past songs IMO, same with Jeff Driller, David Dima… Well, who knows what will happen in the future? We got a very disco Hi-Nrg Attack in the 210's, for example. We're getting lots of old people back/new alias and artists now.

Delta & Hi-NRG Attack are definitely the most 'old skool'-ish sounding labels at the moment. Eurobeat has been "trancey" since 2004...I guess that was when SCP joined the main series. Honestly, I think trance is very popular among the US. US ravers are loving that UK Hardcore sounds like sped-up trance. Eurobeat & Happy Hardcore almost go hand-in-hand: They take influences from elsewhere. Eurobeat kinda seems stuck in a rut at the moment. Nothing groundbreaking has really been done since the 2013 re-launch. SS & Delta have been the two labels being the most innovative production wise. Maybe Hi-NRG Attack will turn back into a hyper label with tracks like Love, Peace, & Gun, Furious Thunder, and Dollars Go.

　　

Or at least a non-stop/DJ mixed parapara side series...or maybe even another label (Farm) putting out CDs again.

　　

I like the how TIME records used to incorporate some techno vibes in their intros during the 90's. They did it with style and overlapped Traditional Hi- Energy sounds with the techno ones. One of the most Techno sounding songs of the era was "Money Connection" from Dave Hammond or "Animal Criminal" by Toby Ash, but the synth riff was always old school. No one can do it like TIME records.

Hands-Up Trance to be precise. Love that track!

Avex fortunately has nothing to do what is happening in Italy, who cooperate with who, who the producer brings back etc.

I spoke with the mixmaster Gelmetti today.

He would like to return to Eurobeat in general, but as he said since the one publisher now is Avex there is no room for him on SEB.

　　

W00t w00t my 242 arrived already. And man is Nuage's song epic. Federico is becoming better and better at producing and writing songs

Just got mine as well so far its cool only on second song haha....

Interesting comment of Giancarlo Pasquini to shared on FB his brand new "Break Into The Music".
