The collaboration of Tiesto & Hardwell may be one of the best of 2011. (and it’s only February.) While, I don’t consider myself to be a big Tiesto fan, you have to give him his props. The guy is still considered by many as the “King of Trance”. But, to continue progressing as a leader, means you have to keep your ears peeled to the evolution of Electronic Dance Music.
That’s exactly what Tiesto did, and he didn’t have to go far to find it. In fact, he went to 23 year old DJ/Producer, and Breda, NL native, Hardwell. Hardwell started his DJ career at 13 years old and is quickly rising as one of the most exciting and refreshing figures on the global dance scene.
The new single from the duo, “Zero 76”, is an electrifying rollercoaster of sound. Each of the producers’ individual styles is very evident. Tiesto’s epic Trance sound that made him a worldwide star swims on top of Hardwell’s Progressive Tech-House foundation. There’s a heavy heap of Trance riffs that hover through-out the track, which will have you listening to this song, over and over.
