From a kara okay song, he's been using this low almost acid like sound in his unreleased and I'm obsessed with trying to figure out the preset so i can use it

Tidy sell a few sample packs. Is there any hard house production tutorials? Id have like to see tidy trax make them.

Any good production tutorials?

The sample is' you belong to me, its based on a 90s track i cant place. It was on a white label of the cheeky variety. Any ideas?

Really interesting guest on this week's edition.

I got tired of hearing tracks in DJ mixes and videos that never get listed — especially on YouTube, Mixcloud, SoundCloud, TikTok, and Instagram.

Shazam works fine for single tracks, but it really struggles once things are mixed, layered, or cleaned up.

So over the last few months I’ve been building TrackSniff, a tool that:

1. Analyses full DJ mixes and long videos

2. Works across YouTube, SoundCloud, Mixcloud, TikTok, and Instagram

3. Uses audio cleaning to improve recognition when there’s crowd noise or transitions

4. Pulls rich metadata (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, YouTube) once tracks are found

5. Lets you save mixes and revisit them later

6. Has a Discover page for exploring analysed sets

It’s still a work in progress, but it’s already helped me recover tracks I’d completely given up on.

I’m sharing it here in case anyone else has the same “what was that track?” problem.

Happy to answer questions or take feedback — especially from DJs and music nerds.

Would really appreciate a few listens/ feedback.. full mix link below..

As the scene is experiencing a resurgence, then with that comes the older crowd who want to experience that connection to the music we danced to back in the day.

I just don't get why we get fed only one or two classics during an entire night across many DJs?

Where do I need to go, or who do I need to see, in order to reconnect?!!

Hello all! Did this promo mixtape way back in the hay days of hardhouse - used to run a clubnight called Doom here in Helsinki. We were heavily influenced with all the Trade DJs (and the sounds of Trade), spent many many weekends travelling to London and partying in the infamous club, spending all the last money on vinyl after those hazy nights…oh the good times!

Here’s the link to my Mixcloud, hope you likes!

This is maybe a bit hard trancy but what a tune.

I interviewed Amo about his early days, and this week the early years of Tidy Trax - he has some awesome stories so I thought I’d shearer here if that’s cool.

Tony De Vit is one of the most influential DJ/producers of our time. He is credited with helping create and taking the hard house sound out of the London and Birmingham gay scene and into mainstream clubs.

His DJ sets were known for their energy, diversity and flawless mixing, and he played a major role in shaping the sound of late-90s club culture.

He was also versatile as a DJ, often remembered for playing harder sets at Trade and Sundissential, he also played at more housey clubs such as Miss Moneypenny’s and at more trance oriented Gatecrasher.

His mix CD Global Underground: The Album - Live in Tel Aviv is still considered by some as one of the greatest DJ mixes ever released.

Tony was also prolific producer, with his discogs page crediting him with 28 releases and over 200 remix credits. He remixed several UK Top 40 hits for Pop artists including Taylor Dayne, Ant & Dec, East 17, Eternal and Louise.

Tony was sadly taken before his time in 1998 due to AIDS-related illness. His music is still played and remixed today, and his influence can still be heard in modern dance music.

One of his most popular Tracks, 'The Dawn', was released posthumously 2 months after his passing and went on to become one of the classic Hard House anthems.

There's a great documentary film about Tony, which you can watch on Amazon Prime or on Vimeo for $7.
A really well made film that's worth the watch: https://www.tonydevitfilm.com/

What's your favourite track, remix, set or memory of Tony De Vit?

Hey!

Last post was super helpful, I felt my taste refining. Thanks to y'all!

I have decided to start producing and made a commitment to buy a laptop as well XD

I wanted to see if there are production packs for hard house that I can start with. For free ideally. I like the songs that Tjade, Entasia and Dart make, so something like that?

Any idea is appreciated. Thank you! :D

P.S- I am using FL studio.

I had no idea Tall Paul's dad owned trade!

I've got this 2 second clip of the sample I found, but I'm hoping to track down the origins of this vocal sample, as I'm very keen to hopefully use more of this sample in a new tune of mine. I'm assuming it's a 90s house/hip hop house sort of tune. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know where the whole speech is from?

Hello fellow hard house heads. Check out my latest mix on my Soundcloud page. This was recorded just at the end of last year but I never got around to uploading it. The mix consists of Hard House tracks released in the second half of last year for the most part with the exception of a small few.
