With punching basslines and eclectic rhythms, the Brisbane based duo are one to be heard and seen. Drawing inspiration from some of the biggest names in the industry, like What So Not, RL Grime, Bauuer and more, these two have a bright future ahead of them.

ENSCHWAY has been named Australia’s answer to RL Grime with his high-energy tracks that pack a big dose of bass, a punch of synth and a hit of melody. With backing by Triple J, 2017 is going to be a monster year for ENSCHWAY.

LADY LILITH is a force to be reckoned with already making waves in the Brisbane Bass scene, this girl is one to watch and will be dropping some of the freshest tunes 2017 has heard on the Bass in the Ballroom stage.

But the track needed a specific type of voice to make it work, and the unique raspy quality of Alex’s voice made her the perfect fit for the distorted topline on ‘Anybody Out There’.” ‘Anybody Out There’ holds a special significance for Hardwell as it represents his desire to infuse his new style into a vocal-driven anthem that combines various elements of his sound to create a captivating hybrid track. Reflecting on the process, he explains, “This track is special to me because I’d been longing to repurpose my new style into a vocal-driven anthem that blended other elements of my sound to create a sort of hybrid track. It needed the right emotion in the track, the right chords, and perfect balance in arrangement to fit the current sound.” With its fusion of cutting-edge electronic music and infectious vocals, ‘Anybody Out There’ promises an unparalleled audio experience that pushes the boundaries of live performance. Hardwell’s creative vision, combined with the talents of AZTECK and Alex Hepburn, guarantees an unforgettable musical journey for listeners. ‘Anybody Out There’ signifies Hardwell’s evolution as an artist, showcasing his willingness to experiment and explore new sonic territories while staying true to his core essence.
