Defqon.1 gave the legends three hours and the old anthems still win
Read more . . . →This year’s program carves out three hours for Defqon.1 Legends, which is a polite way of saying they’re letting the dinosaurs eat. Good. The classics that built this festival hit harder than half of what’s charting now, and the crowd that knows every word is genuinely terrifying. Here’s the homework before the throwback set. 1. Headhunterz - Dragonborn If hardstyle has a national anthem, this is in the running. Dragonborn is 2012 Headhunterz at his most heroic, the melody every younger producer is still quietly lifting. Goosebumps, every single time. 2. Wildstylez Feat. Niels Geusebroek - Year Of Summer The...

The Layoffs Didn't Even Work
Read more . . . →They told you the robot was coming for your job. Eighty percent of companies deploying AI cut workers this year, and a Gartner study of 350 firms just confirmed what anyone with a calculator already suspected: the cuts didn’t boost returns at all. The companies that fired the most people got nothing for it. No productivity miracle, no margin bump, just a smaller payroll and the same balance sheet. They torched 184,000 jobs this year chasing a number that never showed up. And here’s the part that should make you throw something. Sam Altman — the guy selling the robot...

The euphoric side of Defqon.1 is for crying in a field, and that's allowed
Read more . . . →Not all of Defqon.1 is trying to break your sternum. There’s a whole melodic wing of hardstyle built for the moment the sun comes up and you decide you love everyone in the field. Cheesy? Completely. I’m not above it. Three for the soft hour. 1. Da Tweekaz - Sunrise Da Tweekaz are the costume-wearing kings of the big melodic singalong, and Sunrise is them doing exactly what they do best. You will hate yourself a little for how much you enjoy this. Lean in anyway. 2. Devin Wild - Silent (Left The System) Devin Wild does the emotional-anthem thing...

Whirlpool Got Its Tariffs. It's Building in Mexico Anyway.
Read more . . . →If you want to know what tariffs actually protect, look at Whirlpool. This is the company that spent years lobbying for them — it got Trump to slap a 20% levy on imported washing machines back in 2018 because LG and Samsung were eating its lunch. Whirlpool wrote the playbook everyone’s running now: tax the foreign stuff, save the American factory, bring the jobs home. And in 2026, with that exact policy back in full force, Whirlpool is laying off 341 people at its plant in Amana, Iowa and moving the work to Mexico. A second round of cuts is...
