The term "OG RAW" kinda itches me...

A harder sound almost rised up parallel next to Nu-Style, or better known as Hardstyle Classics.

Around 2006 a rougher and tougher evolution in Hardstyle emerged, this caused a split in the Hardstyle genre. Early Hardstyle was no more and there was a need for a change...

Tracks with a raw edge become more popular and the genre "rawstyle" was born -

thanks to Italian master Zatox, which released a track in 2010 under the name 'Raw Style'.

But before this, you had so much amazing, darker oriented tracks....

To me these kinda tracks are the foundation and the inspiration for the RAW genre.

What do you believe?
