Paradigm Shift

"Hard dance is everything to me, truly. It’s my friend circle, my daily driver, my strength. 4-to-the-floor kicks = infinite expression. The dedicated newcomers in the scene are going to completely change what hard dance represents in the states. In the near future, we’ll be hearing a lot more hardcore and uptempo from influential artists like Rollz Royce, Toumi, Schirmer, and AeroSway. When enough ears catch on to the sound - the sky’s the limit!" - @orotodj

HPNOTIC has been holding it down for the hardstyle scene in America. Over the year's she's played major events like Basscon Wasteland and Escape Psycho Circus and releasing tunes like "Move Your Body" with Kamikaze on Keeping The Rave Alive. America isn't the only place she's seen success as she's been all over the world bringing her hypnotizing sound to the biggest stages including Defqon. 1, Q-base, and Hard With Style. 

When asked about the Hard Dance scene in the US, HPNOTIC was very excited about its growth. She explained that audiences in the US are more open to hybrid styles of music and spoke on the collaborations that have ensued. "I see more and more artists from different genres collaborating with hard dance artists, as well as hard dance artists taking influences from other genres," HPNOTIC said. "I’m excited about this evolution! I think creativity comes from combining different things together. Diversity will continue to bring hard dance to the next level." 

On February 26, HPNOTIC is scheduled to take the stage at Basscon Wasteland - and to celebrate the return of the festival she stopped by to spin an exclusive mix for our Paradigm Shift series. Her mix gives fans a taste of her 'HPNOTIC' style and features plenty of homegrown talent including Lucky Rabbit, Lady Faith, Talon, RIZE, and a special unreleased treat as well.

"Hard dance music literally changed my life and it’s a huge part of my identity. There is a countless amount of influence it has on my life. My love and passion for hard dance music has pushed me to achieve unimaginable things such as moving to Amsterdam and Los Angeles, as well as connecting with thousands of people all around the world. I can’t imagine myself existing without it. With hard dance music, I feel like I can be myself, free from external pressure. I’ve been dedicated to my HPNOTIC project for over a decade now."

Since his first release in 2018, FADEAD has held it down for the hard dance scene in the Bay Area and beyond. While he specializes in powerful euphoric records like "Need You Here" and "Without Me," he can also throw down some heat in different styles. Over the past few years, he's had two dubstep/hardstyle hybrid collaborations with Stryer, showing his versatility and ability to adapt no matter the situation.

FADEAD kicked off 2022 in a big way as he was a part of the launch for NRG Records with "Into The Fire," which saw him utilizing the hard psy sound and creating a fine line between euphoric hardstyle and rawstyle. When asked about the hard dance scene in America, he felt that there's going to be a major breakthrough soon. "With the more exposure the EDM community gets from [hard dance], the more of a chance it has of becoming a bigger market compared to how it is at the moment," he said. "Deep down… everyone comes around sooner or later, and I am honored to be a part of its upbringing in America."

Looking to keep the momentum going, he stopped by to spin up a guest mix on our hard dance mix series, Paradigm Shift. Without spoiling too much, this mix includes four unreleased tunes, where three of them belong to FADEAD, along with a multitude of the latest and greatest hard dance tunes from Europe. The Bay Area producer also shows love to plenty of homegrown artists, so fans will hear tunes from KAMI, Quarkee, and TYEGUYS throughout its runtime.

FADEAD has earned himself a spot as one of the producers that are contributing to the recent growth of hard dance music and you're not going to want to miss him on his way to the top. With that being said, turn the volume up to 11 and crank on his latest mix to get a taste of one of the brightest young talents in the American Hard Dance scene.

"Hard dance is everything to me. I remember getting exposed to it when I was 13. I had never heard something so powerful, with so much emotion behind the melodies, and the aggression behind the kicks. It’s all emotions in one project or track. It’s not for many, but I know it means something special to all of us that do listen to hard dance. It’s a lifestyle!  As for me, I’m really looking forward to releasing the music I’ve been holding on to! I hope that I get to play more shows for you guys as well. It’s amazing seeing people hit every kickroll to my tracks!" - Distortion Code

"Hard dance has always been a delightful experience since I heard my first hardstyle track in 2016. Since then, I've been going faster and faster in the tempo, and I've ended up here in a grateful, loving community with great friends and most importantly, hard dance! I hope to explore the world with USTEMPO and my friends Oroto, Rollz Royce, EQUAL2, Kimmercore, Aerosway, Chrizens and more! Shout out to these peeps for helping me along the way. Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today. Thanks everyone, and I hope you stay tuned." - @Toumi

BLKDRVGON - TERMINA ORIGINAL MIX 

“Whenever there is a meeting, a parting shall follow. But that parting needs not last forever. Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short while... that is up to you. You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
It's afternoon of the final day; today is the day the moon will fall.
Are you ready to open the clock tower and face your fears, or will you fail and travel back in time...?"

It's been a journey and a half to get to this moment with everything I have learnt so far,
With all of the right people at my side, this has come to be exactly what I envisioned it to be!
BLKDRVGON presents to you ALL! 
My first original track 

T E R M I N A 

I said to myself one of my new year resolutions was to learn to produce properly and we're off to a smashing start.
There is definitely a lot of stuff that I need to and would like to learn about and also to discover my own techniques as well, but hey that's the glory of this big musical journey aye ;)
I'm loving each and every second of this and it's a big HEAVE ahead now !

I hope everyone enjoys it, this track means a lot to me with the meaning and lore behind it.
I wont go into that here but maybe one time ask me about it ahah <3 

Cheers and biggest of thanks to the lads you guys the real MVPs! Putting up with question after question about everything to try and get this sounding the way I wanted as well.

T E R M I N A (ORIGINAL MIX)

"The American Hard Dance scene will continue to be a melting pot for a lot of genres. We see it now with influences from dubstep, psytrance, techno, house, drum & bass, pop, and so much more. What makes the USA scene special is the ability to take these different styles and blend them together in cool and interesting ways. I want to name everyone but just to start with a few, people like TALON, Lucky Rabbit, NTXC, Kreation, LLLLNNNN, and KAMI are great examples. It makes me really excited to see how the music progresses from here." - @keiji_one

DJ FURAX x UNVIZION x THE DARK HORROR - RISE OF THE SHOGUNS (TIMELESS FESTIVAL ANTHEM 2025)

„The Chaos Path“ ist ein düsterer Marsch durch verzerrte Dimensionen aus Bass, Wut und Wahnsinn.  
Gebrochene Rhythmen, schreiende Synths und infernale Kicks ziehen dich in eine Welt ohne Regeln.  
Kein Licht. Kein Ziel. Nur der ständige Sturm aus Sound und Zerstörung.
