Watch a Teary-Eyed Hardwell Take the Stage at ADE 2021 and Emotionally Address Fans
As the 2021 Amsterdam Dance Event drew to a close, Hardwell threw in a twist few saw coming. The Dutch dance music icon, who is still officially on a hiatus—where he’s remained since 2018—broke trend and appeared with some of his Revealed Recordings artists onstage at the label’s showcase event. “This is not official yet, but he’s coming, he’s coming,” KAAZE elatedly teased on the mic as Hardwell joined him onstage. In a clip posted to Instagram, Hardwell is seen jumping around energetically on stage to the sounds of Ran-D’s hardstyle thriller, “Zombie.” At one point Hardwell is overcome with emotion, visibly tearing up as he looks out across the crowd. “I fucking miss you guys so much,” he said, addressi...
Dada Life Share Preview of Nostalgic New Electro Track, “Electronic Circus Weapon”
Veteran electro house duo Dada Life have shared a preview of their upcoming single “Electronic Circus Weapon,” which is set to drop on Friday, September 24th. “Electronic Circus Weapon” has an incredibly nostalgic sound, brimming with Dutch house and electro energy.

Hardwell Reemerges for DJ Set With Ran-D At Private Party: Watch
It feels like it’s been forever since Hardwell announced his shocking retirement from live shows back in 2018. Now, at a time perhaps least expected, the Dutch electronic music icon has reemerged at what appears to be a small private party at Paintball Games Venhorst in the Netherlands. The sighting is intriguing for multiple reasons, but first and foremost, it is driving speculation as to whether or not the famed “Apollo” producer will return to touring in a more formalized capacity. In videos that have surfaced on social media, Hardwell appears to be going back-to-back with Ran-D in an intimate crowd setting. Clubs in the Netherlands are currently shuttered due to COVID-19 restrictions, which could explain the unusual venue choice. Beyond that, it’s stil...

If big room house is still your style in 2021, boy do Hardwell and Blasterjaxx have a treat for you.

Arriving by way of Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings banner, the song kept the unofficial name that fans used to identify it over the years, much like Eric Prydz‘s “NOPUS.” Since its debut back in 2017, “”Bootshaus ID” has become somwhat of a white whale for fans of Hardwell.
