When I saw the line up of HardClassics 2024 with Activator as the main act, I was immediately triggered to create a Hardstyle Classics mix of Manuel's tracks from the period 2008 to 2015. I had this idea in my head for some time, but now was the moment!

Personally, I am a big fan of his tracks from the Early Hardstyle period but his "Hardstyle Classics" style appealed to me so much because it was completely different from his previous productions!

One track really stands out for me and that is "Winter Song". What a record!
That break in combination with the vocals building up to the climax is truly fantastic! Goosebumps!

" DJ Activator aka Manuel Tessarollo was born in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. His career as a DJ began in the summer of 1995. Early in his career he started as a resident DJ at J&J-Orbital, Italy. For the following 5 years Manuel performed as a special guest on some major events and clubs in the north east of Italy like: Fabula, Strauss Tour, Sonar, Under Construction, Energy Club, Ecu and Fuse.

At the end of 2000 Manuel decided to focus all his time and energy on what he loves to do best; producing his own music. He produced many tracks which were released under many different pseudonyms. When he first started producing he collaborated with his friend and colleague Roberto Fellini (Rishni) and after much success with him he decided to build his own studio called "Oldbridge" in Bassano del Grappa.

In December 2002, the artist name DJ Activator was born when Manuel sent 2 banging tracks to one of the Italy's hottest labels called "Activa Records". At that time he needed an appropriate artist pseudonym for that label and the inspiration was immediate, what could be better than Activator?

At the moment DJ Activator is the A&R for Edinet and he's planning all the releases of these labels: Activa, Explosive, Kattiva, Fuck off, Akustika, Dsl. Since the beginning of his production career he created a lot of famous aliases like: Outlaw, Prozact, Megaphone, Ultrasonic, Spy-Kore, Overdrive, Knockout, T-78, Manuel Es and of course Activator.

He was one of the originators from Italy who contributed making hardstyle famous in the world, due to his massive productions and powerfull DJ sets played in several big clubs around the globe such as Matrixx, Metropolis, Mad, Bionic, ZAK (D), Excalibur (A), Number One (I), Monday bar etc. and big hardstyle events like: Defqon1, Q-Base, Xqlusive, Inqontrol, Hardbass, Decibel, Ground Zero, Black, Dance Valley, Westfest and so many more.
In 2009 he released his first album, a double cd called "Authentic style" which contains 18 new tracks and 18 classics ".

Coming out of the Hardcore period, Silvio Aquila (Arend Hebers) started listening to (hard)trance, hardhouse, techno. But then he discovered Hardstyle!

Silvio Aquila started mixing in 2003 in a local youth centre on the holy Technics turntables.

In 2006 he was asked to join a dj team consisting of 4 dj's & 1 mc, thanks to this he got a chance to present himself to the 'outside world'. Unfortunately this dj-team decided to split up and everybody went their way in 2007...

Afterwards Silvio explored more places in the north of the Netherlands and slowly build his reputation. In 2008 he became a resident dj of the well-known online Harder Styles radio FearFM. 

Left his mark on party's like Hardclassics, Back2school, Indicator, Decibel and more.These days Silvio Aquila still performs, in the Netherlands and abroad.
