Part 3 of The Road to Victory – An Insight into Australian Raw Hardstyle

Defqon.1 is merely weeks away so we decided to take the next step in The Road to Victory and get in touch with some of Australia’s best Raw producers to give you an insight into the state of Raw Hardstyle in Australia.

“HSU, Nightvisions and ESI are all killing it but Defqon.1 is the pinnacle of all Australian Harder Styles events” – The Strangerz

With more and more Raw events being held each year it is undeniable that Raw Hardstyle is slowly but surely infecting Australia. Recently, some of the biggest names in the Raw scene have been called to Australian shores due to an overwhelming demand and it has made for some very impressive events to take place. But this year’s Defqon.1 lineup boasts not only a formidable pool of international artists but a hand picked group of only the very best of Australia’s Raw/Hardcore producers. With names like Delete, Outbreak, Vazard, Fanatics and The Strangerz playing on the Blue stage and Mistorion, Raw Machine and Archetypez playing on the UV stage there is no shortage of options if you need to fulfil your cravings for heavy kick drums and tantalising screeches.

Thanks Masif!

Thankyou Masif Saturdays Wars! We came, we saw, we conquered! Lick your wounds, heal those bones and see you next year!🏆🎶: Fanatics & The Strangerz – Breakin Bones 💪🏼

“Diversity is a major part of our culture as Australians and it is evident in our music” – Fanatics

This year the Blue and Black stages have merged into one unholy stomping ground of Raw and Hardcore, and understandably fans of both genres were a little upset. But as Yusof and Michael from Archetypez poignantly states “you can’t please everyone”. Every year there has been a change to Defqon in some way, shape, or form, and Q-dance does its very best to cater to everyone’s tastes. With that being said, the decisions made to not only the merge the Blue and Black stages, but to create the Australian Hard Dance stage (UV) has prompted Australian Harder Styles fans to further embrace the diversity of their local scene and celebrate the producers who’ve been working tirelessly to build Australia’s reputation.

“This year was the push for Australian talent as a whole, not just Euphoric or Raw” – Archetypez

Without a doubt this year has been one of the most versatile and diverse years of Hardstyle yet. From speaking with the producers it is evident that at the forefront of this momentum shift are the open-minded and ever-experimental Raw Hardstyle producers from across the globe. Whether its the incorporation of Psytrance or Hard Dance elements in a track, Raw producers are constantly bending the rules and leading the scene into new and interesting avenues of possibility.

“Raw brings something different to the table that Euphoric Hardstyle simply cannot” – Raw Machine

So far on The Road to Victory we have seen a ton of new and exciting content on our favourite producers social medias, and it is clear that our home grown heroes are all working extremely hard to perfect their sounds and complete as many tracks as possible before Defqon.1. The Strangerz and Fanatics have been showcasing a brand spanking new collaboration, “Breakin’ Bones”, as well as both individually working on a handful of solo tracks and remixes. Archetypez’ latest bomb ‘Incoming’ together with Activist has turned some heads around the world as these boys slowly but surely climb the ranks of the global Raw scene.

Furthermore; Mistortion, Raw Machine and Splinta have been leading Australia’s innovative side as they create a Defqon.1 Anthem tailored to what their fans want. Combining elements for Hardcore, Raw and Hard Dance into what is sure to be one masterpiece of Australian diversity.

“The more we support each other the more we push each other to create better music” – Mistortion

Ultimately, Raw Hardstyle is thriving in Australia and with Defqon.1 on the horizon you can expect Australia’s Raw artists to take the next big step in their careers. With rigorous social media campaigns by all of the artists showcasing a plethora of new music, Defqon.1 is looking to be one of Australia’s Raw scene’s most emphatic statements yet.
