On March 3^rd Hardwell premiers his highly anticipated new Visual Concept Show at Energy, the ID&T event that takes place for 20.000 people at The Jaarbeurs in Utrecht/The Netherlands.

Known as the DJ with the everlasting shelf life, Hardwell works hard to make sure he remains culturally relevant in a scene that changes shape at an impossible speed. Hardwell’s solid reputation resulted in a well deserved #24 spot in the DJMag Top 100 list and led him to remix work from the likes of Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Fedde le Grand and Taio Cruz. His radio show, ‘Hardwell On Air’ is broadcasted on world’s biggest radio stations. Today this marvellous kid brings a live show that goes beyond the music and into the realm of spectacle. Stunning visuals are a key component of a successful performance of this nature. For this task, Hardwell has recruited the extraordinary talents of Ruud de Wild. A videographer with a background in fine art and graphic design, de Wild has constructed some bold, striking set pieces tailored to Hardwell’s trademark high-energy style.

As well as having several solo art shows under his belt, de Wild was commissioned to paint a Trabant for U2, created book and album covers and designed and decorated a room in the American Hotel in Amsterdam. Ruud has already had exhibitions in the Netherlands, London, Los Angeles Art Fair and the Fine Art Fair in Houston. He is also an established radio DJ, making him a natural choice for a performer looking to establish a deep connection with an audience.

Together they have created something truly special, an intricate blend of visuals on a 38 meters wide visual wall and mind-blowing music. Hardwell is already a master of big room house and always has his crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. It is refreshing to see him take risks and keep on pushing the envelope with his performances. 

The pair has chosen the perfect location to give Hardwell fans a taste of the show. ID&T have brought some of the world’s finest dance talents to Energy this year. Hardwell shares a stage with Eric Prydz, Sander Van Doorn, Fedde Le Grand and headliner Tiësto. He also produced Energy’s 2012 anthem, a huge track called Cobra.

Dates have also been set for Hardwell’s tour. Following the premiere at Energy the show hits the road. Dates announced include Beyond Wonderland in San Bernadino, CA, on March 17^th and his own club night Hardwell presents Revealed at Set in Miami on March 23^rd.

Ruud de Wild maakt Visual Show voor DJ Hardwell

Radio maker Ruud de Wild en DJ Hardwell beginnen samen een nieuwe spannende samenwerking. Op zaterdag 3 maart zal De Wild voor het eerst als videojockey (VJ) te zien zijn op Energy, het welbekende feest van ID&T in de Utrechtse Jaarbeurs, waar hij een speciale Visual Show voor Hardwell presenteert. Na de première zal De Wild ook achter de knoppen staan bij een serie shows tijdens Hardwell's wereldtour die naar verluidt eigenzinnig en vernieuwend zijn.

Het is een logische stap voor Ruud de Wild. Naast zijn radiowerk is hij ook al jarenlang gerenommeerd kunstenaar, aan het tekenen en schilderen is de afgelopen tijd steeds meer fotografie en het maken van videoclips toegevoegd. De show die hij nu voor Hardwell heeft gemaakt brengt eigenlijk al zijn disciplines samen; de beelden zijn een combinatie van film, foto, grafische vormgeving en schilderkunst getoond op een scherm van 38 meter lang. De visuals zijn hierbij op maat gemaakt voor de dj en zijn specifieke draaistijl. Zo ontstaat er een speciale sfeer tijdens het optreden en krijgen zowel Hardwell als de muziek die hij draait een extra dimensie.

Wat een veelbelovende première betekent, zaterdag 3 maart voor 20.000 mensen op het door ID&T georganiseerde Energy. De VJ-kunsten van De Wild zijn tenslotte ook een spannende nieuwe stap voor Hardwell die op het feest het hoofdpodium deelt met DJ’s als Sander van Doorn, Fedde le Grand, Eric Prydz en hoofdact Tiësto. Bovendien produceerde Hardwell ook het officiële anthem van Energy 2012, getiteld Cobra, wat deze avond nog specialer voor hem maakt.

De 'Big Room House' van Hardwell heeft hem op nummer 24 in de welbekende DJ Top 100 lijst gebracht; en is precies waar deze Nederlandse DJ thuishoort. Met zijn eigen label Revealed Recordings, wereldwijd beroemde radioshow ‘Hardwell On Air’ en samenwerkingen met ondermeer Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Fedde le Grand en Taio Cruz maakt de Bredanaar tegenwoordig deel uit van de hogere echelons van de dance muziek industrie.

Ruud de Wild is rond zijn twintigste begonnen met schilderen en radiomaken, zijn twee favoriete bezigheden. Inmiddels heeft Ruud naast alle kunstwerken die hij maakt diverse andere kunst gerelateerde projecten gedaan waaronder de Trabant voor een tour van U2 beschilderd, het ontwerpen van boekomslagen, albumhoezen en een hotelkamer in het American Hotel in Amsterdam ontworpen en ingericht. Ruud heeft al meerdere exposities in Nederland, Londen, de Los Angeles Art Fair en de Fine Art Fair in Houston gedaan.

Daar wordt nu deze nieuwe show aan toegevoegd. Hardwell trekt met deze samenwerking zijn befaamde optredens naar een hogere etiquette. Na de première van de show op Energy zullen De Wild's creaties ook meereizen naar Hardwell's optredens op Beyond Wonderland in San Bernardino (17 maart, USA) en op zijn eigen avond Hardwell presents Revealed in Miami (23 maart, USA).

Swanky Tunes, Matisse & Sadko - The Legend by refunerecords

With over 20 years of DJing and more than 20k records in his vinyl collection, one of the world’s most talented
house hero’s, DJ Sneak, steps into the Fabric arena lending his genius tune selection, deck wizardry and pure
love of house music to the brand new Fabric 62 compilation. Sneak’s mix is ripe with a plethora of carefully
selected contemporary house nuggets with echoes of Chicago and the Jackin’ House sound he loves, drizzled
with elements of techno and dusted with overtones of big band swing fun too, it’s all here and mixed to
perfection! Sneak performed and recorded the mix live without the use of any computers - indeed a testament
to how tight this monstrous house jock really is!

“I’ve listened to it so many times and I get really excited.. That’s DJ Sneak right there!” - DJ Sneak

Fabric 62’s tracklisting boasts some of the very best in Nu Cool house artists, kicking off with a fierce techy outing, fresh from Berlin, from Strip Steve & Das Glow with ‘Calcium’, followed by a lighter looptastic chugger from Markus Homm & Philipp Gonzales with ‘Got To Make It’. Other gems for fans of tech come from Muto with ‘Wait A Minute’, Mike Jules with the very quirky ‘Crack Ass’, Basti Grub’s ‘Walking In My Blues’ powered with fiery Latin tinged beats featuring Agent!, the deep tones of Arturo Garces’ ‘Light It Up’, and Darius Syrossian’s almighty remix of
‘Creampie’ by Hector Couto. Several reworks come from Belgian producer Ramon Tapia (Sneak’s current favourite), remixing Sneak’s own ‘My Love’ and Sir James’ ‘Special’ showcasing his Hot Jackin’ sound. The album also includes an exclusive new single from the Tripmastaz titled ‘No Turning Back’ forthcoming on Sneak’s Magnetic Recordings.

Echoes of ‘way back when’ come courtesy of Swiss producer Mendo with ‘Old School’, busting with soaring sirens and stuttering vocal samples. More power beats and rolling bass provide the electric undercurrent for catchy soulful vocal hook on Alex Tepper’s ‘In, Out, Life’ and an infectious funky bass groove makes a grand entrance before dropping into a haunting breakdown on Christian Burkhardt & Einzelkind’s ‘Cooper’. Fabric 62 is weaved together by a hefty selection of Jazzy & Jackin’ grooves. The talent here includes the very young Romanian Luca M, who at
only 20 years old is tearing up floors with his ‘Funk My Sax’ armed with an incessant sax hook; French producer Joss Moog adds an Electro Swing vibe to Yeshua Murillo’s ‘I’m Gonna Make You Mine’; DJ W!ld Feat. Hector Moralez’s sublime spoken word and jazz key stabs dominate ‘Take A Trip’; Tato’s remix of Willie Graff & Tuccillo’s ‘To The Music’ which gives way to Cause & Affect’s ‘Beware Of The Swingers’, a skippy, energetic monster laced with big band magic and a violin loop which finishes the mix on an ecstatic note!

“I am very proud, excited and confident this mix will entertain for many years to come... As long as I’m alive, house
music is not dead!” - DJ Sneak

Sunshine, beach life and Salsa music on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico provided a backdrop for DJ Sneak’s upbringing. - “Music is a huge part of the Puerto Rican way of life and I feel blessed to have been born in such a musical cultured place. The rhythms, sounds, melody and Latin beats ran through my veins as a young kid which is still very much a part of me, the tones still resonate in my mind and I use them when I produce music.” Sneak moved to Chicago
in 1983 and was captivated by American life and the sounds of Jazz, Funk, Soul, Disco and of course, the Chicago House sound which was starting to emerge on the airwaves. “I was drawn to House music because it had very little singing which was perfect for me at the time as I understood very little English. The instrumental endless music mixed together was very appealing... To this day I love and strongly support House music, it really is my life.”

Sneak’s first projects were of an entirely different creative nature. He started off airbrushing and doing graffiti, selling his art on T-Shirts whilst working in a record store also exploring the music industry side of things. Sneak still does graffiti today, boasting a super cool CD wallet brimming with his own designs on each CD. In 1991 Sneak launched Defiant records with his life savings and began recording and selling records, where by the mid 90’s he really began to shape
his sound, dropping tracks every week. “This is how I broke through and DJ Sneak became a known name across the world.” Sneak continued to work with key folks including Cajmere / Green Velvet and Derrick Carter with his Classic label who released Sneak’s ‘U Cant Hide From Your Bud’. In 2000 he launched Magnetic Recordings spawning one of Sneak’s biggest releases in 2001 with ‘Fix My Sink’ featuring vocalist Bear Who? Other labels followed including Oomph
Recordings sporting a deeper sound, and Sneak’s Classics for re-releasing older tracks with fresh remixes. international press & radio publicity favouritizm

As a DJ, Sneak has been a mainstay on the worldwide club scene for 20 years cutting his Fabric teeth at the legendary Bugged Out parties with Norman Cook after a long residency at Mr C’s The End Club in London. Recent adventures have seen him putting on giant warehouse parties in his home of Toronto to hitting the gigantic festivals in the Eastern Bloc including Exit in Serbia, Sunwaves in Romania, over to T In The Park in the UK, and back across the pond to the sunny shores of the BPM Festival in Mexico. Sneak is a workaholic and has been able to survive an
industry of constant changes re-introducing himself to a whole new generation of clubber and music lovers whilst still pleasing the old school music buddies who have supported him since day one. As well as putting the finishing touches to his new artist album due for release in Spring 2012, Sneak has many new single releases in the pipeline including a new forthcoming collaboration with Riva Starr. He has many releases lined up for all 3 of his own labels
as well as European labels who continue to support his sound.

Featuring tracks and remixes from some of Europe’s finest dance music minds, Holland’s kings of the tough beat deliver the 3rd in their Flamingo Nights compilation series. On board are prime cuts from Axwell, Avicii, Hardwell, Fedde Le Grand, Ferry Corsten, Arty and Sander van Doorn, and many more besides. Seizing the mix-controls for session 3 are nu-house heroes Nicky Romero and Deniz Koyu…

On November 25th they’re going to show you how it happens in Holland!
 
In 2009 they compilation-captured the White Isle’s club juice in Ibiza and 12 months later set their sights on the heart of the Big Apple for a New York chapter. Now, with the city’s musical mercury at sky-high levels, they’ve returned Flamingo Nights to their home streets for the Amsterdam Edition. This year Flamingo honchos Funkerman and Fedde le Grand have ceded the mix controls to label lieutenants Nicky Romero and Deniz Koyu - two of the lowlands’ fastest on-the-rise spin-masters. 

With David Guetta tagging Nicky in his DJ Mag interview as ‘the one to watch in 2012’ and having Romero remix ‘Titanium’ from his latest album, the 22-year-old Netherlander’s got the endorsement of the world’s # 1 DJ ringing in his ears. Not wasting a beat of the mix, he gets straight to the point, letting Stefano Noferini’s ‘(This Is) Fucking House Music’ tell it like it is. Snapping at its heels is Fedde Le Grand’s recent chart baiting redux of Falcon & Bangalter’s ‘So Much Love’ and DBN’s own super-uplifting re-bake of Nicky’s own ‘Schizophrenic’ release. He begins to let the mix travel some darker trails, moodying things up with Dirty South & Thomas Gold’s ‘Alive’ and sending it all-out subterranean with his own, just-completed remix-retell of Green Velvet’s strobelite anthem ‘Flash’. The Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike cover of Âme’s house classic ‘Rej’ guides the mix onto a tougher, more pumping track and lets loose a bass-fuelled, high-grade floor-banger with Gregori Klosmas remix of Avicii’s ‘Sweet Dreams’. Keeping the floor tension locked, Nicky brings his mix to a big apex with the tough timbales and tougher yet synth stabs of ‘Camorra’, before classily curtain-closing with Matteo Di’Marr’s imaginative, guitar-flecked revision of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’.

Next to the decks is Breda-based turntable specialist, Deniz Koyu. The Fedde Le Grand discovered prodigy gets his mix’s engines tuning with his own hyper-hot ‘Tung’ release. Currently being hammered by Guetta, SHM, Tiësto, Markus Schulz and others, it’s chased by ‘Grunge’ and Arty’s tough, house channelling ‘Around The World’. Next under the laser are the coolly crafted beats of Fedde Le Grand drum-fest ‘Mentrum’, the angular synths of Wippenberg’s infectiously vocalled ‘UR’ and Arty’s fully-phased rewire of Ferry Corsten’s ‘Punk’. ‘Heart is King’ - Axwell’s deeply strung, atypical summer ‘11 floor thriller - keeps the mix’s orientation deliriously in flux, while Thomas Gold tints its with some tech, courtesy of his hard-rocking remix of Sander van Doorn’s ‘Reach Out’.     

Mixed By Nicky Romero and Deniz Koyu, Flamingo Nights Vol. 3 is a release that’ll see the club side of your brain happy right the way through the end-of-year party season… and beyond. It’s out November 25th.

Hardwell is opening his set at Sensation Denmark

Coming up on Chocolate Puma' imprint Pssst Music is a track they did with friend Gregor Salto.
"We’ve known Gregor for quite a while now, he’s from our hometown, and he used to bugger us with demo’s. Eventually he got to release one of his first records on our label and not much later he showed everyone he’s boss. We think he’s one of the best producers out there.
So after all these years we finally got together in the studio and came up with Tragito De Ron, a rough kinda latin house affair with piano’s and a woman saying something about rum. Hope you like!" Chocolate Puma

23-year-old Hardwell is the highest Dutch new entry in DJ Mag Top 100

 

Amsterdam, October 21st 2011 –  Yesterday, the critically acclaimed British DJ Mag announced that the 23-year-old Hardwell entered the DJ Mag Top 100 popularity poll at number 24. Hardwell can be seen as one of the most successful producers/DJ’s of the past few years. In 2010 and 2011, he’s had international successes with collaborations ‘Zero 76’ with Tiësto and ‘Move It 2 The Drum’ with Chuckie.     

 

At the age of 13, a young Hardwell - real name Robbert van de Corput, started his DJ career. After years of building his name as a DJ, he scored his first big hit in 2008 with ‘Never Knew Love’. In 2009, he had his international breakthrough, with his ‘Show Me Love vs. Be’ bootleg, the classic of Robin S.  and tracks by Steve Angello and Laidback Luke.

 

This past year, Hardwell has toured the entire globe, being invited to play at both the American tour as well as several nights of the Privilege Ibiza residency of Tiësto. In early 2011, Hardwell started his own weekly radio show on Dutch radio station SLAM! FM, ‘Hardwell On Air’. His track ‘Cobra’, which scored more than 100.000 views on YouTube within one week, has been crowned to the official theme song of ID&T event Energy – The Network.  

 

In March 2010, the young talent started his very own Revealed Recordings label, in collaboration with Cloud 9 Music. After 1,5 years, Revealed can be seen as one of the leading label in the progressive-house scene. On the label, you won’t only find productions of Hardwell himself, but also tracks from new talents that fit the sound of Revealed. Last Wednesday, during ADE, the first club night of the label ‘Hardwell presents Revealed’ took place in a sold-out and excited Club Home in Amsterdam.

Hardwell - Tribute to hometown Breda ‘076' (Live at Dancetour)
 
Tiësto & Hardwell - Zero 76, one of the biggest tracks of the year has an original story behind its track title. Tiësto and Hardwell both hail from Breda, The Netherlands and the title Zero 76 is a nod to their home town's area code. This summer Hardwell played at the Dancetour event in ‘Zero 76’ and as a thank you to all fans and proudness of his hometown, Hardwell releases this video with a little peak into the Hardwell studio!
 
It’s clear to say Hardwell is having his global breakthrough in 2011, travelling all over the world for gigs and scoring hits like ‘Encoded’ and his most recent single ‘The World’. But his biggest track of the year must have been together with ‘greatest dj of all time’ Tiësto. Their collaboration "Zero 76" released beginning of 2011 is a monumental production, fusing each artists' style to create a peaktime record standing out in every set!
 
As if their country couldn't be any more proud of them, this co-production is as big as it gets. Zero 76 making the rounds at every club and festivals around the globe for months with a huge impact on the crowds! Charts success was there as well being #1 at the overall Beatport chart for two weeks and hitting high in all dance charts worldwide. With that being said ‘Zero 76’ is a sure contender for tune of 2011.
 
Still one week left of voting at the DJ MAG TOP 100 DJS VOTING: SHOW SOME LOVE, VOTE FOR "HARDWELL"
 
‘Zero 76’ is released on Tiësto’s imprint Musical Feeedom
