Comrade, I am so happy that you enjoy Hardbass. In the west, the whole genre may seem obscure, however, it was (maybe is) popular in UK (called Scouse House, maybe not exactly Hardbass but very similar), it is very popular still in Spain and Basque Country, still known in Poland (sadly, less and less, but we have good DJs like Clubbasse or Gopnik McByat), they are some good DJs from France. There are excellent DJs active, but the best club player for me is Sonic Mine from Sankt Petersburg, now sadly not active much. When I will have some spare time, I will upload somewhere his podcasts which I downloaded from some obscure Russian website, which is down now probably.
Awesome! I liked Gopnik McBlyat but I thought the name was a tad on the nose lol. It’s like if an American artist was named “Hipster O’Yankee” so I figured they weren’t actually from Eastern Europe, I’m glad to be wrong about that one 😂
Actually, you are not far from truth. The word "Gopnik" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopnik is not in use in Poland, we have a similar notion of "dresiarz" (one who wear only tracksuit, likes to beat people), but not many Polish people even know the word "Gopnik". Poland is a strange country, which is not fully Eastern, but also not fully western, even if many politicians want it. There is artist from Spain, as I remember, called Sukahard, while "suka" is popular word in Slavic languages, meaning "removed", and Spanish artists also frequently borrow the gopnik culture elements. BTW, this is one of the best, in my subjective taste, and most hardcore sets of Gopnik McBlyat, unless you already know it: https://m.soundcloud.com/tri-poloski-records/gopnik-mcblyat-at-tri-poloski-utrecht-04-02-23
Ahh! Три Полоски🤣 I love this one, I used to play this one to my Polish friends and they liked it, I bet none of us knew we were listening to Polish music lol. Do u mind if I PM u some of my fav Hardbass songs?
I would be very grateful, I make a collection of good Hardbass music, as it would be a genre on extinction 😁 the collection is ony disc, maybe when I finally have some spare time, I will share it in some way publicly
