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.

Electronic music producer MR.BLACK has touched down with “Acid Rave,” a menacing house banger released on Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings banner.

The track is fit for both large festival stages and dark underground nightclubs— where the crowd stomps in unison—and it has the allure to captivate both types of crowds. “Acid Rave” is MR.BLACK’s most recent single after...
