A bit of an industry blog this time, but I think it's relevant enough to not bore you all to sleep!

If you're not aware, last week was ADE in Amsterdam which is like Europe's answer to the Miami Music Conference. But more relevant to the hardcore crew, this year, for the first time a special HDE was held (Hard Dance Event), with all the major players from the world over making an appearance!

I took a wander over there, mainly just to be nosey and see what it was all about, but came away with an energised excitement about the scene.

Hearing nothing but ambitious plans for everything from hardcore raves in football stadiums to pioneering new genres of blistering beats to please (while inflicting damage to) your ears hehe...

Without giving away anyones secret plans, I'll just promise you 2011 will be a strong year for the harder styles!!!! Watch this space...

Plus, listen to my show from this week!
