Hey Everyone,
The last 2 years have been an important time for me as an artist, but also as a person.
As you probably know, I was focussing on very experimental tracks at the end of 2015. Feeling disconnected by the course of the music of the years before, I tried to escape from the boundaries given by the scene. The original feeling that brought me into the genre just wasn't there anymore. It didn't feel like the "Hardstyle" I knew at all.
Somewhere in the summer of 2016, all of a sudden, it started to click again. There were these amazing new producers completely changing the scene with their sound. And with them, hardstyle started shifting towards a healthy middle again. I remembered why I loved this genre so much in the first place.
However this also meant that I had to re-evaluate what I wanted Phrantic to be in the future. With the circumstances given at that time I decided to take a step back and use all the time I needed to make new music. I wanted to make music that moves people, music that makes them feel what I felt in the studio. Music that translated my emotion directly into audio for the listeners. Music that tells a story. I started incorporating more big melodies and proper kicks in my tracks again, and I even made a few harder ones. I started to write my own vocals and work together with vocalists. I completed a lot of music in that time, but I wanted it to be good enough to come back better than ever. That's why you haven't heard from me.
You might have wondered why I blacked out my profile pic. Of course it's a good way to drag attention to it; to let people know that something is going on behind the scenes. But most importantly it symbolizes a fresh start. I know exactly where I want to go now with my music, and I wanted it to be a clean cut.
I'm happy to say that I have Dirty Workz as a partner who always believed in my music. They supported me on this long journey and will continue to do so in the future.
However, I'm also content that I found another partner on the way. I'm glad to announce that from now on my bookings will be handled by Most Wanted. Apart from helping you guys and girls to actually see me play, they will also support me in all kinds of management questions.
So what are the next steps? On monday evening, Dirty Workz will premiere my newest track "Symmetry Of Sound" on their channels, to give you a glimpse of what's to come in the future.
Also I already have a few really cool Bookings upcoming in the first half of 2018, including Rebirth (NL) and Electrobeach (FR) as well as several "Project Hardstyle" events here in Switzerland.
Last but not least I want to thank you all for being patient with me; as well as artists like Devin Wild, D-Sturb, Sub Zero Project, Audiotricz and Phuture Noize for showing me how cool this genre is and always will be. Good things will always take time.
See you soon at an event in 2018!
