Devin Wild’s latest EP “Among The Noise” pushes genre boundaries by blending Hardstyle and Hard Techno into an underground, experimental sound. In this exclusive interview, Devin Wild discusses “Among The Noise” while sharing his production philosophy and his evolution from child prodigy to innovative producer.

Devin Wild on the Creative Vision Behind “Among The Noise”

“Among The Noise” is a fusion of Hardstyle and Hard Techno. What inspired this creative direction? How do you maintain your signature sound while exploring different genres?

“Among The Noise” represents the culmination of my experimental journey. Since I started doing these experimental EPs, the underground techno sound has played a major role. Certain ideas come into their own within this sound. Moreover, this style lends itself to more straightforward and dark flows.

Personally, I think you always retain your own style. You need to make choices that you really feel deep down and stand behind them 100%. Everyone is unique with their own mind. As long as you are the purest form of yourself, your style remains intact.

The EP features previously released tracks including “Chaos (Always Comes)” with Nathalie Blue, “Dance With Madness,” and “Hit Back,” along with the new “Silent (Left The System).” How do these four tracks work together to tell a cohesive story?

Musically speaking, all tracks follow the same vision by focusing on a more underground, yet out-of-the-box sound. There are choices I might not make in more normal tracks. However, “Among The Noise” gives me plenty of room to experiment. All vocals were written with that same idea in mind.

Devin Wild’s Industrial Production Techniques

You’ve described “Silent (Left The System)” as industrial and fierce, yet it’s unmistakably Devin Wild. Can you walk us through the production process and what elements you used to achieve that balance?

With this track, the Hardstyle producer wanted to focus more on dance floor-oriented elements. Industrial can quickly tend toward dark and obscure, which I absolutely appreciate. But here I wanted to keep the musical theme lighter and more open instead.

The sampler-style piano chops work perfectly for this, as do the high-pitched vocals. Additionally, the breakbeat elements tie it all together. In my opinion, these choices create the perfect balance.

The EP is described as playing “like a single trip” with cinematic bookends. In an era of single-track consumption, how important is the complete listening experience, and what do you hope audiences gain from it?

Projects like “Among The Noise” let you work within a certain style and theme. With this project, I wanted to try new things and explore new elements and song structures that I don’t usually do very often.

I approach such a project with certain thoughts and feelings. How I feel at that moment matters. The phases I’m going through influence the music, and with all that in mind, I work on the project.

I link all the components together, including visuals and lyrics. Through this, I hope to take people along in my processes without having to explain everything too literally.

Devin Wild’s Evolution: From Child Prodigy to Hardstyle Innovator

You started producing at just nine years old. Looking at your journey from tracks like “Into The Night” in 2015 to “Among The Noise” today, how has your production philosophy evolved?

My musical development runs parallel to my personal development. When I think back to how I was as a person then compared to now, the shift is easy to explain. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to think differently about music production.

I weigh choices differently now and value a certain form of integrity. Furthermore, I often try to challenge myself by trying new things. Your taste naturally changes as well. All of this is a fairly natural process for the Dutch producer.

Devin Wild on Collaboration and His Creative Process

Collaborations have been a major part of your career, from viral hits with Sub Zero Project like “Meltdown” and “DSTNY” to your 2018 mini-album “Maze Of Revelation” featuring Psyko Punkz, KELTEK, D-Sturb, and Warface. How have these collaborations influenced your approach to this more experimental, solo-focused EP?

Devin Wild notes this was the first project where he worked within a specific theme. In terms of musical vision, it doesn’t have much to do with what I’m doing now. Nevertheless, I learned from the processes involved in those individual tracks.

“Chaos (Always Comes)” features vocalist Nathalie Blue. How do you approach the decision of when a track needs vocals versus remaining instrumental? What role do vocals play in your creative vision?

Vocals can often serve as an element of recognizability and give a song a clearer structure. When I start working on a track, I often know what my goal is and what it needs to achieve that goal.

Looking Back at 2025 & What’s Next for Devin Wild

2025 has been a breakthrough year for you. Was there a defining moment that made your music stand out this year?

I can’t name a specific moment. For me personally, continuing to develop and learn new things is most important. Meeting new people and working with them matters greatly. Staying active is key, and looking for ways to improve and innovate drives me forward.

What can we expect from Devin Wild for 2026? What are you most looking forward to for next year?

I will do my utmost to keep seeking fresh perspectives on innovation. New projects are on my to-do list, along with exciting collaborations. Ultimately, I’m committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in electronic music.
