Hardstyle in a more harder way
Formed in around 2011, it resembles more of the older hardstyle sounds with darker melodies, powerful drops and distorted kicks. Can get brutal sometimes.
Notable producers in this category includes Ran-D, Hard Driver, Digital Punk, Zatox, Warface, Angerfist, Frequencerz and more...
Rawstyle also can be heard at festivals like Defqon.1, Qapital (an all rawstyle festival), Qlimax and even as far as Tomorrowland
Also can be used as a tool to scare a pop fan listener
