Hardwell’s Ominous New Single “PACMAN” Explores an Existential Nightmare: Watch the Music Video
With each new single from his long-awaited comeback album, Hardwell is proving that his time away was restorative. The end of Hardwell’s four-year hiatus was symbolic not only of the return of an EDM flag-bearer, but also the dawn of a new stylistic era. Debuting a dark, techno-influenced sound and cerebral lyrical elements, it’s clear the iconic Dutch DJ is laser-focused on artistic growth. The latest example is “PACMAN,” which Hardwell famously debuted during his scene-stealing Ultra 2022 set. To say the track was a hit would be a gross understatement: Hardwell explores an existential nightmare in “PACMAN,” sampling a spine-chilling soliloquy about the somber nature of the iconic video game character: “He is pursued by demons that are p...

Zomboy Steps Into Unfamiliar Sonic Territory On Bass House Banger, “Desperado”: Listen
Following last month’s launch of Rott N’ Roll Records, Zomboy has returned with the label’s sophomore release, a new single called “Desperado.” “Desperado” is a step out of Zomboy’s normal wheelhouse, surprising listeners with a bass house beast of a record. The track embraces the usual nuances found within his musical arrangements, such as his intricate sound design and expertly crafted drums, but packs them into an unfamiliar tempo. The track isn’t what most would expect from the dubstep star, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive. “Desperado” is a unique and stellar addition to Zomboy’s discography during the infancy of his new imprint. “Desperado was such a fun track for me to make,” Zomboy...
