SCHIAVONI delivers BIG BOY on Scantraxx and the energy is exactly what that title suggests it would be. There’s no irony here, no restraint — this is hardstyle doing what hardstyle does when it’s not trying to be anything other than itself. The track identifies its target (your sternum) and doesn’t miss. The kick compression on this is the kind that you feel before you hear it properly, which is either a sign of excellent production or a speaker-destroying mistake, and here it’s definitely the former. Scantraxx putting out a batch this strong is having a moment right now. SCHIAVONI as a name choice is interesting — Italian surname, very different energy from the UK/Dutch scene that hardstyle tends to come from, and that difference shows up slightly in the production style too. Harder, more direct, less of the melodic flourish. Works for me — and probably for anyone who’s ever been in a proper hardstyle tent at 1am.

Reminder that Tomorrowland happens in Boom, a Belgian town of about 18,000 that swells to festival-sized every July and then goes quiet again. The polite thing...
