Hmm. excellent. Well I dont plan on mastering dutch anytime soon, but I might check out those websites you offered anyways.

I wish hardstyle was a main stream style of music over here.. One of the major problems with Canada and much of North America in general (with the exception of perhaps Detriot, LA, and NYC) is that all the major innovations and happening in dance music are happening overseas and its SO hard to get your hands on good material, especially if your a DJ its dreadful. Dance music is very non-mainstream and the dance music that does have a semi-popular nature is all that washed-up Euro music.. well thats what we call it over here anyways, like I dont know if you remember Sylver from a few years back. Stuff like Ian Van Dahl, or Deepest Blue. Over there that kind of stuff would be considered just pop-music but here its considered dance-pop or euro-pop and its basically whats the average joe thinks of when he thinks of dance music. Which is so unfair because all that washed-up trash is just what reaches the surface. there are so many amazing underground styles and artists of dance/techno music thats its impossible to track them all down. I sometimes wish dance music had more exposure over here. But I suppose sometimes its better this way..
