Hard Electronic Music Around the Clock: A blog about recording labels and artists in the electronic music scene.
If you have been following the news about electronic music for more than a year, you will have heard of Hard Electronic Music around the clock. It is a new concept that has been taking place in different places around the world. Here is how it works: A local DJ or producer starts a radio show. They play hard electronic music all day long, on a continuous loop. One after another, they play their favorite tracks and remixes of various kinds of electronic music.
The concept is not new, but it was first introduced to the general public just over a year ago by one of my favorite producers and DJs, Hardwell. He started this idea with his radio show “Hardwell On Air” on Soundcloud. The show has since grown into a weekly program that is broadcasted live on air at various times throughout the week on many different stations around the world, including Radio FM4 in Austria and Radio 1 in Germany. There are currently over 100 different stations that broadcast “Hardwell On Air” every week!
Hard Electronic Music Around The Clock is a blog about recording labels and artists in the electronic music scene. It is primarily dedicated to hard electronic music genres like hardcore, gabber, speedcore and breakcore.
The main purpose of the blog is to promote artists, record labels and other interesting sites related to the underground electronic music scene. If you make or know any hard electronic music please contact me, I will be happy to listen to your tracks and maybe post some of them to this blog.
I hope that this blog will be useful for you in finding good tracks and discovering new artists and record labels in the electronic music scene!

The term “hard” is used in relation to DJs and the music they play, but also within the music industry. The general use of the term is to describe electronic dance music with a strong bassline and a tempo above 128 bpm. However, there is no definitive clear definition of what “hard” actually means; it appears as a subjective judgement from one person to another. The main genres that are generally considered hard are hard house, hardcore techno and hard trance. The term can also be used in relation to recording labels, record shops, clubs and DJ’s.
Hard house is a style of dance music heavily influenced by house and techno, but which focuses on strong basslines that often have funk or hip hop influences (such as scratching), and usually faster tempo beats than house. In the early 1990s hard house had only just emerged as a distinct genre in Chicago and was known more commonly as “pumpin’ house”.
Electronic dance music is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves and festivals. EDM is generally produced for playback by disc jockeys who create seamless selections of tracks, called a mix by segueing from one recording to another.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, following the emergence of raving, pirate radios and an upsurge of interest in club culture, EDM achieved widespread mainstream popularity in Europe. In the United States at that time, acceptance of dance culture was not universal; although both electro and Chicago house music were influential both in Europe and the United States, mainstream media outlets and the record industry remained openly hostile to it. There was also a perceived association between EDM and drug culture, which led governments at state and city level to enact laws and policies intended to halt the spread of rave culture.
By the early 2010s, the term “electronic dance music” (EDM) and the initialism “EDM” was being pushed by the American music industry and music press in an effort to rebrand American rave culture. Despite the industry’s attempt to create a specific EDM brand, the initialism remains in use as an umbrella term for multiple genres including house
