hardcore is still home

house joined the family this year but nobody moved out. #

Hardcore tonight. The Stunned Guys, Tommyknocker, Nosferatu, Promo, Endymion. I keep coming back to the same thought this year: liking something new doesn’t invalidate the old thing. I don’t know why people are so obsessed with replacing tastes. `”Oh, you like house now?”` Yes. `”So you’re not into hardcore anymore?”` What? If I start liking another perfume tomorrow does Angel evaporate?

Tonight reminded me why this music is still home for me. Not because it’s objectively better than everything else. I don’t care about proving that. It just gives me something other music doesn’t. There are nights when I want elegance and gradual build. There are nights when I want a kick drum to remove every unfinished thought from my head.

Tonight was the second kind.

Remember me, Eclipse.
