On October 12, 2001, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, also known as Daft Punk looked into the future and released ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’—a track that not only became a hit but also a prophecy for the music world that followed. As we celebrate the 23rd anniversary of this anthem, its robotic rhythm and hypnotic lyrics remain as influential as ever. In 2001, when electronic music was beginning to gain popularity beyond the underground rave scene, artists like The Chemi

It’s been a great week for collabs between legendary Dutch producers. Hardwell and AFROJACK just dropped their third official collab, “Push It” featuring MERYLL. The duo debuted the track during Hardwell’s Tomorrowland set earlier this summer and it sure seems like it’s going to become a staple in both DJs’ sets. “Push It” is keeping with all of Hardwell’s previous recent releases, advancing his big room techno sound. The track opens with a psy-trance beat layered over the vocal “Push it, pu

Last year, Hardwell returned after a years-long hiatus to drop his sophomore studio album, REBELS NEVER DIE, while embarking on a world tour. As we fall headfirst into the new year, he’s back with Maddix to reimagine a dance floor classic, but not necessarily from the club floor… “Take Me Away” by 4 Strings became a classic on Dance Dance Revolution, though it holds its own on streaming services, as well, with over 27m Spotify streams alone to its name. With a seal of approval from 4 Strings, w

Astonishingly it’s been 12 years since the release of what is Hardwell’s most iconic song ‘Call Me A Spaceman.’ Originally it was released as an instrumental called ‘Spaceman’ on the 23rd January 2012, but only a few months later Hardwell came back with a new version with the now unforgettable vocals added by the Dutch singer Mitch Crown to create this legendary hit that he released on his record label Revealed Recordings. This song made Hardwell one of the biggest names in Electronic Music and

Hardwell and Armin van Buuren are showing us the way to dance music nirvana through their much-anticipated collaboration, "Follow The Light." A fitting blend of the superstars' iconic sounds, the powerhouse collaboration is out now after building a steady momentum in the live performance arena throughout 2024. Since its debut spin in January, "Follow The Light" has become a staple in the respective DJ sets of both Hardwell and van Buuren, leaving fans eager for an official release. The demand re

Hardwell and Armin van Buuren will soon show us the way to dance music nirvana with their much-anticipated collaboration, "Follow The Light."  A fitting blend of the superstars' iconic sounds, the powerhouse collaboration is imminently set to arrive after building a steady momentum in the live performance arena throughout 2024. From its debut spin in January, "Follow The Light" has become a staple in the respective DJ sets of Hardwell and van Buuren, like at UNTOLD Dubai, leaving fans eager for

Hardwell and Blasterjaxx are back with their latest track, ‘Beat Of The Drum’, which is an energetic big room house banger. This marks their fourth collab since ‘Going Crazy’ dropped in 2016. Both artists have really made a name for themselves in the big room house scene. Their past collabs show just how much they’ve accomplished together. After their sensational banger, ‘Going Crazy’, they teamed up again for ‘Bigroom Never Dies‘ in 2018 and last year’s ’16’ with Maddix. With ‘Beat Of The D

The single also marks Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings’ thousandth offering, after nearly 15 years of existence. Huge news has landed on Dance music grounds lately, as one of the icons of the genre, Hardwell, put out yet another piece of new music. Not that we hadn’t heard of, though, as this particular track was ID’d as Robbert’s opening track from his epic Ultra Miami 2024 set, one that made headlines due to the sheer tension we all lived through when his original timeslot was, quite literal

If connection is measured in BPM, Hardwell and Outsiders' new single "Falling In Love" would break the barometer. Out now on Hardwell's own label, Revealed Recordings, the track interpolates the ageless lyrics of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love." This hardstyle behemoth, a high-energy fusion of classic romance and modern electronic music, doesn't just nod to Elvis—it grabs the King's 1961 classic by the sequined lapels and hurls it onto the mainstage. "Falling In Love" showcases Hard

The night is alive, and sleepless with Hardwell and Sarah de Warren’s new collaboration. An invitation to lose yourself in the relentless pulse of mainstage techno, "No Sleep" brims with stadium-filling energy and raw intensity. Hardwell's evolution into the genre's thunderous world continues as de Warren’s mesmerizing vocals anchor the track’s emotional core. Their collaborative offering drives with a rhythmic sense of urgency and speaks to the heart of those who crave both the night’s freedom

Hardwell's latest single is a thunderous departure, and it's taking no prisoners. Teaming up with the multifaceted hitmaker Vorwerk, "Cambodia" is a hardstyle behemoth, a genre-spanning collision where memorable melody and raw power collide. The track highlights their shared mastery of anthemic dance production after over a decade of friendship. "Once, there was a time when our studios were across the hall from each other," Vorwerk said in a nostalgic Instagram post. "In time, we all went our se

2023 seems to be the year of breaking the mold. That couldn’t be more true with the release of this new collaboration “Twisted” from Hardwell and Will Sparks. If a collaboration from these two came out 5-7 years back, it would most likely sounded like a mix of synth-blaring big room house with the rubber-band beat and bass line of a Melbourne bounce tune. But in current year, both of these artist’s are in very different places. For one, Hardwell took a massive break from touring and signaled hi

The King of Bigroom (and Bigroom Techno) has announced a new radio show. Hardwell has unveiled his new radio show, Euphoria, which will air monthly on “One World Radio,” the official radio station and content platform of Tomorrowland. There couldn’t be a more fitting radio show name. Hardwell is known around the world for his timeless classics that have made us dance for over a decade. Blending fresh new releases with electronic classics, the show is designed to be a high-flying journey into

Dutch EDM icon Hardwell has unveiled his latest single, ‘Lift Off’, released on May 9 via Revealed Recordings. The track made its debut during his headlining set at Ultra Music Festival Miami 2025, where it captivated audiences with its fusion of big room energy and techno influences .

Drama ensues! World-Known Dutch DJ and producer Hardwell decided to call out SAGA Festival during his set on day one. It seems like equipment was malfunctioning so he decided to stop his set, grab the mic, cuss out the event, and acusse them of not paying him for his involvement. However SAGA clapped back at him on social media. The festival is currently taking place in Bucharest July 5-7. In addition, it offers a wide array of artists ranging from Nicki Minaj, Armin van Buuren, Deborah de Luca,
