Style definition
Miss Jarea used to spinn a smooth, full on cocktail of Dutch & UK Hardstyle, HardTechno and HardTrance topped with a collection of SchranzTechno, played purely out of passion.
In 2008 Miss Jarea converrted to the more energetic style; Hardstyle & added Hardcore to her sets in 2010. She lives for the music: "no bigger thrill than adrenaline raging through my veins from making people go frenzy-mental on the dance floor and screaming for more. Music is like kaos and order, and kaos is what makes me wild".
