No to interested in her style of music but wish her all the best none the less... she has a lot of competition now though!

who is the main competition in the hard world at the mo?

There have been fewer big labels than ever before?

Do you mean label wise or djing wise?

Main competition in the hard house world now is VC and Tidy, I don't even consider Nukleuz in that catgory anymore and Tripoli is no longer. Loads of other smaller labels too, Flashpoint, Deprivation, Toolbox, and more and more digital stuff happening too

All a matter of who is engineering her tunes. Chances are it is Ingo & Colin Barratt.

Even the VC's & Tidy's aren't selling what they used to. But with less labels if she can fluke a big hit then it won't be that hard to compete.

I guess it all comes down to the type of hard dance that's produced. I can think of plenty of little labels that release 10x better records than tidy IMHO. So basically there is competition in my view, personally I never even look at tidy releases any more. Dj wise, well that’s easy. Don't get me wrong I’ve seen Lisa’s energy behind the decks and it's amazing but the music she plays isn't my cuppa! Then again, I'm moving to a different style of music anyways so my opinion does'nt count for much any more

Should have worded my original statement better

I'm in the same boat re: different styles of music.

I just look at things on a world scale not so much a local one. NZ is completely different on musically trends in the hard world than everyone else. (This from talking to countless internationals, punters etc etc).

Personally there need to be some new hard house anthems (on scale of Hostile etc) that crossover to a wider audience otherwise it's a repeat ft how hardcore fizzled out in '99.

With high profile people putting out tunes it can only help things out IMO.

Good points.

good on her

it's a signal from a big name that she has faith in the genre and is prepared to put her considerable weight behind it
by putting her balls on the line with a label

and i hear they are commercial sounding tracks

well - good i say
'
hardhouse was never bigger than when sandstorm, time to burn and zombie nation were released

hope the label does well
