Many producers started to pitch-shift a distorted kick drum to create a melodic bassline
that usually plays in pitch with a typical hard trance supersaw or a thinner electro house synth melody.
The melody often is in tuplet form, which gives the genre a pulsating rhythm,
whereas older Hardstyle as well as other genres such as “Jumpstyle” (imp LTD) (DJ Norman) have more
basic melodic structures to them. Thus, nowadays many people refer to the older style as early Hardstyle.
