Blutonium Records
Blutonium Records is een Duits platenlabel, opgericht door Dirk Adamiak, dat oorspronkelijk trance produceerde, maar dat nu voornamelijk hardstyle produceert. Artiesten als Session One/Blutonium Boy (Adamiak), DJ Neo (Cristopher Ast), DJ Virus (Oliver Knasmüller), Thomas Trouble, John Ferris, Vicente 'One More Time' (Vicente Lopez Gonzalez) en Warmduscher (Thilo Markwort) hebben op dit label geproduceerd. In december 2005 brachten Blutonium Boy en Neo de 100ste muziekuitgave van het label uit, Rockin' / Hardstyle Instructor Part 3.
Producties
Van trance naar hardstyle
Ruwweg (niet precies) de eerste 60 producties van Blutonium Records zijn trance, daarna worden het hardtrance en vanaf begin 2004 tot heden is de hoofdstroom hardstyle, hoewel er af en toe nog hardtrance remixes gemaakt worden. De sublabels Blutonium Traxx, Dance 2 Trance, Pumping Trance en Trianon Records hebben, toen Blutonium Records hardstyle ging maken, de trance overgenomen maar dat heeft niet lang geduurd: in oktober 2004 kwam de laatste tranceplaat onder Trianon uit, "Why Can't We". Het laatste sublabel Q-Asar produceerde ook hardstyle en hardtrance, maar werd overschaduwd door Blutonium Records zelf. Q-Asar bracht wel 1 hit voort, "Hardstyle Never Dies" in 2004.
Voornamelijk trance
Er zijn veel artiesten die onder verschillende namen verschillende stijlen (elektronische) muziek maakten, veel artiesten die men in de "tranceperiode" van Blutonium Records (1999-2004) ziet, zijn later onder een andere naam hardstyle gaan maken. Van BLU 001 (Dreams In My Fantasy) tot BLU 060 (Make It Loud) zijn de producties voornamelijk trance.

Tekkstyle
Bepaalde artiesten maakten eind 2007 ook een soort van technotrance, dat wil zeggen: harde bas en "kicks", erg rustig voor de climax, daarna met synthmelodieën en een hoger tempo, om vervolgens weer terug te keren naar het geluid van voor de climax. Deze formule geldt niet voor elk nummer maar de hardere bas en wat minder bpm zijn kenmerkend. Blutonium noemt deze stijl "tekkstyle". Enkele voorbeelden zijn Stow It (vooral de Neo Mix), Yambo Remix, They Have Forgotten The Machines (Hardtech Edit).
