Hard House 

Proper hard house is typified by a set formula of up-tempo house music compressed kick drums, signature style off-beat basslines and the use of 'hoover' type sounds. In contempt of the name it shares some parts in style with house music, but borrows elements heavily from trance music (synths and sometimes breakdown formula), and hardcore/rave music (hoover sounds, chants). Generally, hard house is part of a wider group of styles called Hard Dance and has little in common with the modern trance or house scenes going for a stronger storm sound. Hard Dance also encompasses NRG or Hard NRG, which UK Hard House is often confused for. However, the two have some variance from each other, and are considered two separate genres by Hard Dance enthusiasts.

Hard House 

Any living space with a hard roof, as opposed to a tent.

Even though I usually staid in a tent at the fair, I went out looking for a hard house once I heard about the rain.

Hard House DJ 

The hard house DJ is one of many rare talents, one who has the ability to play a variation of hoover driven tracks at around 150bpm without the use of a sync button. The hard house DJ is the one who will let you know copious amount of times that "they have this on vinyl". The Hard house DJ has an amazing ability to adapt, they can for years telling all that vinyl is king and only "Real" djs use vinyl, until they buy a digital controller and ask their mates to send them tracks and start forming a huge following playing live sets online 3 times a day. The Hard house DJ is a very well informed and literal thinker, often holding a great intelligent mind, they often form opinions on other fellow Hard house DJs with comments such as "they can't mix for shit" or "whose arse did they kiss to get a set?" These opinions are held with great conviction and passion, often slagging off a certain fellow DJ to their mates for months. Very occasionally a DJ will propel to Hard Dance stardom with their newly found following, record label and club night, The DJ, the Hard House DJ has been slating for months now becomes the new "Best friend". The Hard house DJ, like a wild predator will latch on to the new best friend in the hope for a set or even a colab on their next released track.
