Eight years ago, following the success of their 2015 hit ‘Mad World’, Hardwell and Jake Reese teamed up once again to release ‘Run Wild’. This collaboration, unveiled in 2016, continued their remarkable streak of high-energy, emotive music. ‘Run Wild’ is a quintessential example of big room house, showcasing Hardwell‘s mastery in crafting uplifting, powerful chords and electronic textures, paired with Jake Reese‘s impeccable vocal performance. The track is a fusion of dynamic, dancefloor-driven beats and a poignant, introspective ambiance, highlighting the strengths of both artists.
Hardwell, born Robbert van de Corput, has been a major influence in the EDM scene, particularly noted for his role in shaping the genre’s explosion between 2012 and 2013. Starting his DJ career at the age of 13, he was inspired by the massive dance parties he saw on MTV, which sparked his interest in mixing, remixing, and eventually producing his own music. ‘Run Wild’ stands as a testament to Hardwell‘s skill as a producer and his ability to create tracks that are both energetic and emotionally resonant, resonating with audiences worldwide.
