Get a QuoteHard house mastering requires precision on the compressed kick — the genre's defining element. The short, punchy, compressed kick bounce needs to feel tight and relentless without sounding thin or harsh at volume. The stabs need bite. The bassline needs to drive. Everything needs to hit at high loudness without collapsing into a wall of noise.
Hard house has been part of Sam's catalogue since the early days of his career — it is in the credits alongside house, techno and garage, and the technical demands of the genre are well understood. The bouncy energy of hard house is harder to preserve at high loudness levels than it looks; the mastering chain has to be calibrated specifically for the genre's dynamics.
