Ok let me start by stating I'm a massive metal head. But when I first heard this around 2003 I loved it and downloaded it, and I recently found it again on an old MP3 player of mine that I thought died in 2007. Having listened to it again, it still goes off. I don't even know what it is I like about it, the composition maybe? If a metal head likes this, surely this song is severely underrated.
if you're into metal and also like GOOD electronic music like this, I suggest you give "dark psychedelic trance" a try. Look up for "olien - darkmatter" so you have an idea about what it is like!
@@2pro4u2c still bangs. You have good taste and if you still never got in to hard energy / trance from when you wrote this post, then what you may have missed from the era is the fact that this song is undoubtably one of the best examples (if not THE best example) of hard trance that was every produced. So no, it was never underrated, everyone knew what it was at the time, and still knows now just how well it holds up today. What starts as the most simplistic revolving bassline progressively builds to an explosion tracks that work harmoniously to provide a euphoric release. The track's composure is far more like an orchestral piece, a thing of beauty and art. Unfortunately, all electronic dance music has suffered from the competition of mainstream releases (much the same way as metal, punk... or pretty much any genre). Sadly, this means that listeners from outside the genre don't really know what to look for (what's up, what's down), and sadly the majority of the "dance music" they get subjected to is the shit coming out of MTV and their local radio stations, rather than underground rave music. And granted: Scot Project wasn't even "that underground", he was and is still relatively mainstream. The more you dig, the better you find the quality and originality of most music. It is a great thing that you got to experience this song and treated it with an open mind... I've found many of my metal head mates in the past to feel the same... they hate dance music normally but if you show them something truely original they can see the beauty in it. If you enjoyed this you should also check out Hennes & Cold's Second Trip. This is my all time favourite from that era, and to date in hard trance ua-cam.com/video/8EP_pNUe9l4/v-deo.html
I remember seeing Scot Project once in 2004 in Melbourne and we waited all set for him to play this but he finished with R (Rock) instead and we were fucking pissed man. Had to play it in the car on the way home instead lol
@Strategios You are (almost) right about that, Hardtrance also involved in the Early Hardstyle gerne and Dj Scot whas one of this artists, its like hardtrance only the snare parts and basslines are a bit different than "normal" hardtrance, also the bpm's!.. In 2002, Frank Zenker and Kai Winter aka Scot Project and Derb made a label called DRUCK records. They made it for one reason, to create a harder side of trance music what later evolved in hardtrance and early hardstyle... Grtz
The memories that run thru my head when I hear this original mix of Overdrive should be put on film or atleast as the video to it! that video didnt do the song justice!!! 2001 thru 2006, I must have heard this track at every party/rave that I went to. Thank you for the memories Frank Z!!!
+Chelly Torres very good I never was there.. ;) You remember ? When we where children It was a perfect music.. Can I have your facebook ?:-)If you want we can continue the communication :-)
It's got multiple elemental genres such as some dubstep (just the wubwub), Mainly Hard Trance and a hint of Hardstyle, but definitely leading in Hard Trance. Very fitting title. This song is definitely going in Overdrive. ;)
Pre-commercial dance music was before their time. You can't fault them, because the industry can't sell them on something there's no profit in. And if a track is timeless, then there's no reason for them to buy the "newest thing" in three weeks when they're tired of listening.
@Daymack continued..most hardstyle Djs back in 2001/2002 spun alot of hard trance in thier sets and it wasnt until 2003 that hardstyle was properly defined. By that stage most of the sets were all hardstyle oriented and that was mainly because at 2003 the scence had more artists to produce it.
@Daymack This is not how the early hardstyle scene started at all, that is fact. Look on discogs are anything, it's labled hard trance. Infact i have talked Frank and he has told me in his own words that he has never produced hardstyle. Early hardstyle is just a term to give some limelight on the shitty HS we have today. The fact you even call this hardstyle shows how much you know mate. When hardstyle came out, it was similar to hard trance, but you can tell the difference.
THEY TOTALLY COPIED SKRILLEX WITH THE WUBWUBWUB ... I haven't worn a piece of kandi in over 10 years, but I hope I managed to fulfill your hopes there ;-)
@winbolo Yes but that makes no difference to this actual tune. Hardstyle may of came from hardtrance/hardhouse and hardcore, but that makes no difference. This is hardtrance, no if or buts about it mate.
why does electronic music have to be so damn confusing with all its genres. i just classify any track i come across as either good or bad.. it's easier that way lol. the track is beyond good after like 2:30 I don't like the wubs at the beginning though

I grew up in the rave scene listening to this. Haven't heard it in years, then boom di radio has it! Love this track!
Beautiful how the supersaw falls in @ 4:56 and how it builds the track to a hard climax!
This is Hard Trance. Period.
Hardstyle was not even a defined genre when this track was released you noobs.. Hard Trance at its finest. That is all.
I remember seeing Scot Project once in 2004 in Melbourne and we waited all set for him to play this but he finished with R (Rock) instead and we were fucking pissed man. Had to play it in the car on the way home instead lol

The memories that run thru my head when I hear this original mix of Overdrive should be put on film or atleast as the video to it! that video didnt do the song justice!!! 2001 thru 2006, I must have heard this track at every party/rave that I went to. Thank you for the memories Frank Z!!!
I need to go to a party to hear this too !!Inloose my mind!!
You and I both lol
+Chelly Torres Why not Chelly :-p Lol Where do you live :-)

TRANSMISSION!!! Thumbs up if you ever went to 1
and my response would be that Sonny was only 13 years old when this was released. He probably hadn't even heard of Dance music at that point lol.
excellent
Hehehe....and less got original! Nice catch...
super !
Sooooo GOOD!!!
Buy in on vinyl on Discogs, you can pick it up for about £2
Is this the real first step from Trance to what was later called Dubstep? So many good memories listening to music like this.
Fucking what?
Uh, no. Wubs already existed at a time older than Dubstep thank you very much 🙂
@Banacik No Noob this is EARLY HARDSTYLE!!
Pass Me A Speceled Dove!!!
phat classixxx
I am honestly surprised not to have seen some kiddie candy-raver saying, "THEY TOTALLY COPIED SKRILLEX WITH THE WUBWUBWUB."
hahaha they must have had a time machine to steal this
7:05 Now that's hardtrance !
Yessssssssss
This is Hard Dance you nobjockeys !!!!
beat dropping @ 3:00 mark is ungodly
FUCK ME WAT A TUNE, BOSH12!
This.
@wannawatchako ahh i was wondering.
@5:22 of my head
@Daymack This is not how the early hardstyle scene started at all, that is fact. Look on discogs are anything, it's labled hard trance. Infact i have talked Frank and he has told me in his own words that he has never produced hardstyle. Early hardstyle is just a term to give some limelight on the shitty HS we have today.
The fact you even call this hardstyle shows how much you know mate. When hardstyle came out, it was similar to hard trance, but you can tell the difference.
Does anybody knows how I can find the album "Bosh!" in UA-cam? I try but I can't !!
at 50:28
THEY TOTALLY COPIED SKRILLEX WITH THE WUBWUBWUB
... I haven't worn a piece of kandi in over 10 years, but I hope I managed to fulfill your hopes there ;-)
why are yiz all tryin ta genre the tune like its a classic leave it be!!
can this also be described as Hard NRG?
O, mixed by Pastis & Buenri!!!! very nice
/watch?v=jm12nNwdcPg
now listen to deadmau5 - superliminal LOL
@winbolo Yes but that makes no difference to this actual tune. Hardstyle may of came from hardtrance/hardhouse and hardcore, but that makes no difference. This is hardtrance, no if or buts about it mate.
why does electronic music have to be so damn confusing with all its genres. i just classify any track i come across as either good or bad.. it's easier that way lol. the track is beyond good after like 2:30 I don't like the wubs at the beginning though
hard trance as it is meant to be...all these shitty remixes make me vomit these days...music will never be as good as mid 90's to 2003 maybe 04 latest
very true.. ."they totally copied skrillex with the wubwub.." hahahaha . clueless kids
nice but terrible copy
I remember seeing Scot Project once in 2004 in Melbourne and we waited all set for him to play this but he finished with R (Rock) instead and we were fucking pissed man. Had to play it in the car on the way home instead lol
