There’s a new kid (make that two) on the block, and they've hit the ground running head first in your direction. The Hardstyle Boiz, or known affectionately to locals as HSB, are the brotherly duo making waves down under, crafting themselves as one of Sydney's finest. They have grounded themselves with a massive fan base following, and have their ambitions and sights set on the international scale, and they aren't backing down until they know you know who they are.

Comprised of brothers Angelo and Rosario, this dynamic duo bombarded the rave scene making the first leap from being “bedroom bangers” to the open stage and turntables of Sydney’s nightspots in early 2009. Duly referred to their ambitious dream to become reality by their father as just two crazy boys with their “boom boom music”, they have achieved so quickly what many DJ's could only dream of. In only a few years, they have debuted at two of Sydney's biggest events, Magic City 2010 & Defqon 1 2010,2011 and 2012 , played in front of crowds of thousands at some of Sydney's most prestigious & respected hardstyle events, there own productions, and have the backing of some of hardstyles biggest names.

Growing up with hard dance before their careers took off, the HSB always thought about what it would be like to stand up in front of people mixing their own tracks. It just happened to be on the night of Q-Dance’s first party in 2008, when the pair got a taste of the future they envisioned themselves within, and from then knew their calling.

Since then, HSB developed a sound that can only be described as raw and abruptly energetic, with intrinsically entwined melodies. Compounded together with some technical mixing skills, they have the uncanny and infectious ability to get the crowd moving. From the beginning of their career they have drawn their inspiration and deep appreciation for the rawstyle beats and the sounds of A2 Records and Italian Hardstyle. 

Signing in 2012 to KSX / Hard Blitz, their hard work has continued to reap the rewards. Not only being successful DJ’s, they’ve produced & released 3 monster tracks,. Their most recent track, a collaboration with The Khemist – “We are the Gods”, has amassed more then 5,000 views so far on youtube, topped at number 5 on trackitdown.net, and was chosen to be featured on Technoboy’s Essentials Vol. 4 compilation album.

Currently residents at Masif Saturdays, Sydney’s most prestigious hardstyle nightclub, HSB have played at a wide selection of Sydney’s biggest events including Defqon 1, Showtek at the Hordern Pavillion, Knockout, just recently Heatwave. Not only have they played the monster hardstyle events on home turf, they’ve made a breakthrough cameo overseas at the 10 year anniversary of Defqon 1 in Holland – and all of this is only the beginning for these brothers. 

The year 2013 has only just begun for HSB, you can be sure that there is no doubt the name HSB will spread like wildfire, and bring on the fiercely raw and energetic sound synonymous with Australian hardstyle to the international stage. 2013 has only just begun…
