The exact problem
The kick sounds disgusting in solo. Then the full track makes it sound weak.
You spent hours on the kick. More distortion. Another EQ. Another clipper. The waveform looks like a brick and somehow it still does not feel right.
Then the screeches, vocals and effects arrive. Everything fights for space and the mix sounds like one big angry washing machine.
So you turn things up. That makes it louder, not better. Another isolated tutorial still does not show how every decision works in the full track.
Learn what to hear in the tok, punch, tail and distortion—and how the kick works with every other part of the finished track.
One connected process
Hard music does not need to feel like abracadabra.
A kick chain without the explanation, a preset without the thinking or one technique without the rest of the track leaves you with information and no system.

Watch every decision across a complete track build.
A kick tutorial can sound impressive while the rest of the project is conveniently silent. This build shows what happens when everything has to work together.
See the track develop from the first idea to the master, including sound choices, arrangement, transitions, mixing decisions and final corrections.

Bi-weekly feedback shows you what your track needs.
The lesson explains the process. Feedback connects it to your music.
Bring the weak kick, the screech that takes over, the section that will not move or the master that changes completely in the car.
I will tell you:
- What I hear
- What causes the main problem
- What I would change
- Why I would change it
- What to work on next
You also hear feedback on other producers’ music, so you recognize problems faster.

Great "achievement" today! Got the number of a *headliner artist for some time now but never sent over stuff because I wanted to wait until I made something that I actually enjoy
Hey everyone! After 2 years of mucking about and dicking around, I've finally made my debut release. Took me a while to get there, but I'm satisfied with the result.
So, as a product of this community and the specific teachings of Steven from his lessons/one-on-ones and the amazing collaboration and peer mentorship of the other students in this
Well this deserves a little moment to look back from where I was 1 year ago.. I already had developed some kind of signature on my own over the years but I was missing a lot of details
Hello all, i’m proud to announce my first gig. Very excited and stressed
Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well ! Just a quick message to share some exciting news: I won the DJ Contest for Eskape Festival, the biggest outdoor hard music festival in
My track that started as a submissiontrack for the redrace is now finally out at Dwx. This is my best piece of work to this day and im beyond proud to present "The upside down"

Your teacher
I learned this through years of making and destroying kicks.
I am Steven. I have produced Hardstyle, Hardcore and Uptempo for more than 20 years, released over 50 tracks, made two albums and played more than 200 shows in over 20 countries—including Defqon.1.
I know what it is like to spend hours on a kick, add more processing and somehow end up further from the sound you wanted.
This program teaches what to listen for, why a change works and how every part fits inside the complete track. Then I listen to your music and help you apply the same thinking.

Before you start
A few clear answers.
Do I need FL Studio?
Yes. The program is built around FL Studio and includes FL Studio teaching files.
Can I start as a beginner?
Yes. The first 20 lessons cover the mixer, piano roll, playlist, routing and basic workflow.
Do I need expensive plugins?
No. The program includes stock-plugin-only kick training. Some lessons use Serum 2 or other third-party tools.
Do I need Serum 2?
Some sound-design lessons and the 112 included kick presets use Serum 2. The rest of the production process remains useful without those specific files.
Can I use another DAW?
Many ideas transfer, but the lessons and project files are made for FL Studio. I recommend joining only if you use FL Studio.
What do I keep for life?
All 86 lessons, FL Studio teaching files, 112 Serum 2 kick presets, teaching presets, future updates and lifetime bonuses.
What happens after one year?
Elite Membership becomes optional at €29.99/month. Without it, Elite Membership, community and VST access end. Your program and teaching files remain.
What is the refund policy?
If the program is genuinely different from this page, email within 14 days. We refund the payment and remove access. Full terms apply.
Can I pay with Klarna?

What if I buy the wrong program?
Email within seven days to switch between Hardstyle, Uptempo & Hardcore and Music Theory for the same purchase amount. This is a program swap.
Why not learn on YouTube?
You can. The paid program adds one complete order, FL Studio files, the nine-hour build and bi-weekly feedback on your music.
Hardstyle or Uptempo & Hardcore?
Choose this for Uptempo, Hardcore and Frenchcore. Choose Hardstyle for Hardstyle and Rawstyle melodies, leads, screeches and kicks.
Can I ask before joining?
Yes. Tell me what you make, which DAW you use and where you are stuck.
