Hardwell and Maddix drop apocalyptic anthem « Rave till my grave »

Hardwell and Maddix have reunited for « Rave Till My Grave, » joining forces with hard dance vet Villain for a blistering techno anthem out now via Revealed.

The Dutch producers have become close collaborators over the years, releasing a slew of tracks including « ACID, » « 16, » « Bella Ciao » and a remix of Benny Benassi’s timeless « Satisfaction. » But their latest is perhaps their heaviest yet.

The track’s title telegraphs its intentions with zero subtlety and delivers on them with propulsive, relentless drums. The mayhem of Maddix transforms Hardwell’s hard dance sensibilities into something more dark and ferocious.

Meanwhile, Villain’s vocals carry the gravelly gravitas of someone who understands that raving isn’t recreational, but ritualistic: « I could still remember my first time like it was yesterday, » he recalls through spoken word. « That pulsing sensation of bass entering my body, taking over my DNA. I no longer had control. »
