Hardstyle: Dear

Where do I even begin? To the outside world, you are just noise. A relentless, aggressive, 150-beats-per-minute barrage of distorted kicks and screeching synths. They call you a headache. They call it a "wall of sound."

The modern Hardstyle kick is a work of engineering art. It has a punch (the "tok") that starts, and a tail (the distortion) that rumbles your bones. When you feel that kick in a festival like Qlimax or Defqon.1, it doesn't just vibrate your body—it aligns your heartbeat. 150 BPM is the perfect tempo for controlled rage. It says, "You are allowed to be angry. Just don't hurt anyone. Jump instead." Dear Hardstyle

The melody says, "I am sad." The climax says, "But I am strong." The anti-climax says, "Let's break shit, just this once, to feel alive." Where do I even begin

Thank you for never lying to me. A pop song might tell me "everything will be okay." You tell me, "Everything is on fire, but we can still dance in the flames." They call you a headache

  1. That’s great that you can do that. Can it be done with design space? I have tons in DS and often thought, what would I do if I decided to switch machines.

    1. Hi Angela! I’m not sure how to export a library in DS but I would assume you could save your files as svg’s or png’s and upload them into the Silhouette Software if you do decide to switch!
