Artist Of The Month – August 2015!
Week in, week out there have been a plethora of amazing parties tearing through The Netherlands and Europe; from huge productions to small festivals, if one things for sure it’s that all artists have been dedicated to bringing their A-game! When thinking about certain standouts in the past month, there were a number of artists who were flying high on our radar and after much deliberation we finally came to a decision for who we’re diggin’ this month…
With a lifetime of achievements under their belts, experience in all avenues of hard dance and one of the most impressive discographies to date, this act are undoubtedly the masters in DIY. Notorious for their down-to-Earth spirit, musical diversity and impeccable sound design, this power-trio are “about to get raw!” Oh wait, they already did!
Before we begin talking about their present achievements, it’s important to honour the past. Hailing from all things hardcore, Endymion are responsible for some of the biggest evergreen tracks including “Broken,” “Abduction,” “Raging In A Dancehall” and “Close Your Eyes.” Famous for their ruthless and energetic performance on stage, the guys are just as hilarious in their off-stage antics which is seen in their exclusive documentary “On The Road To Make Some Noise.” As one of the pioneering names in the hardcore scene, it came as a loss when they announced their departure, however for the hardstyle scene it was a huge and innovative addition.
Since their huge announcement in February, Endymion have kept the spirit high, not only on their own productions but also on their new and innovative label “Nightbreed Records” that is one of the best platforms for supporting upcoming talent in the raw hardstyle sphere. The long hours and undying dedication have allowed the guys to transition from the hardcore scene smoothly and reach an already rewarding position within the competitiveness of raw hardstyle. After creeping into the genre slowly by dropping hardcore/hardstyle crossovers such as “Under Your Skin” with Pandorum, “Antidote” with Ran-D and “Caught In The Fire” with Frequencerz and DV8 Rocks, Endymion began hinting the formation of this new and untouched sound. Their set at Qlimax 2014 was one that set the tone for the future as many fans began to rethink what the trio musically stood for.
In pursuance of a new and ground-breaking raw hardstyle sound that goes beyond the mundane kick and screech pattern, the trio thrive on producing music packed with emotion, fascinating elements and of course a limitless supply of energy! Tracks such as “About To Get Raw” with High Voltage, “Nightcrawler” featuring MC Nolz, “Who” with Phuture Noize, their remix of Activator’s “Sparta” and “Antidode” with Ran-D have climbed to reach thousands of fans worldwide, infecting them with raw and energetic vibes.

Performance-wise, these crazy mofo’s have been tearing a new one in crowds this festival season at Defqon.1, Dreamfields (Nightbreed Showcase), Dance Valley, Electric Love Festival, Beat The Bridge, Reverze and many more! Apart from their hectic performance schedule, the guys are also dedicated to their live radio show “We Are The Nightbreed” that is an interactive and entertaining show and not just a ‘podcast.’ Alongside their podcast and huge success of ‘Nightbreed Records,’ Endymion have served as an inspiration and support for budding producers including upcoming talents Break Zero and Bass Chaserz.
Already proving as a force to be reckoned with, this dynamic trio are redefining atmospheric hardstyle and breaking through the mundane…
