Dutch hardstyle producer Thyron releases The Journey on Scantraxx, a deeply personal two-part release born from his recovery following a car accident.

Sometimes the most personal music is the most powerful. That is exactly the case with Thyron’s latest release, “The Journey,” out now on Scantraxx. After a difficult period following a car accident, the Dutch hardstyle producer spent his recovery time doing something a lot of artists talk about but rarely follow through on: completely rethinking his sound. “The Journey” is the first result of that process, and it shows.

Two Mixes, One Story

The release comes in two parts. The Melodic Mix dropped April 23 and is, as Thyron puts it, a five-minute journey in itself, moving through anxiety and darkness before finding a way forward. The Full Mix follows on April 30, taking the same emotional core and translating it into something built for the dancefloor. It is a smart structure for a track rooted in such a personal narrative. The two versions give listeners a choice in how they want to experience it, but the story underneath is the same.

In His Own Words

Thyron has been open about what went into this one. “All of those emotions turned into music,” he shared. “Some of the realest and most meaningful music I’ve ever made. It’s the story of how I came back to life.” He also touched on something that will resonate with anyone who has been through a rough stretch: “One thing really stands out to me: how easy it is to forget how dark those lowest moments actually were, and how much it took to get back from them.” That kind of honesty is rare, and it comes through in the music.

The Journey is available now on all major streaming platforms via Scantraxx.

Devin Wild and Creeds officially release their collaboration ‘Dangerous (Hard Version)’ on Scantraxx following nearly two years of festival hype.

Two worlds collide as Devin Wild and Creeds join forces for one of the most anticipated releases of the year. On February 20, their collaboration ‘Dangerous (Hard Version)’ officially landed on Scantraxx, and it’s been a long time coming.

The Track That’s Been an ID for Almost Two Years

If you’ve been paying attention on the festival circuit, “Dangerous” is not a new name. The track first made waves at EDC Las Vegas in May 2024, where it was played as an unreleased ID and immediately sparked a wave of requests from fans trying to track it down. Since then, it’s been making appearances in clubs and at major festivals, building hype in that slow-burn way that only the best tracks do.

The light version dropped on January 23 via IKNS, giving EDM fans a taste of the crossover sound. Now the Hard Version is here for the harder scenes, and it’s landing on one of hardstyle’s most iconic labels, Scantraxx.

Hardstyle Meets Reverse Bass

“Dangerous” is a crossover in the truest sense. Devin Wild is a leading figure in hardstyle, known in crossover influences. Creeds brings a very different but equally powerful energy, he’s the producer behind “Push Up,” the viral hit that racked up over 600 million streams, and his sound sits at the intersection of reverse bass, hard techno, and trance.

Together, the two deliver something that feels natural despite the contrast. The Light Version caters to the EDM crowd while the Hard Version turns up the intensity, pushing deeper into hardstyle territory.

How “Dangerous” Came to Life

The story behind the track is a good one. Devin Wild’s manager was the first to hear the potential in a vocal he came across, flagging it as a perfect fit for a Creeds collab. Devin went straight into the studio.

“The journey of Dangerous started with a vocal that caught the ear of my manager,” Devin Wild explains. “I went straight into the studio and made a draft that later became the Hard Mix.”

What makes it even more interesting is that the two artists hadn’t even met when the track was already taking shape. Their first in-person encounter came at EDC Las Vegas, the same festival where “Dangerous” first debuted.

“When I sent it to Creeds, he was hooked instantly. We hadn’t even met in person yet until we both played at EDC Las Vegas. We clicked immediately, both musically and personally.”

Creeds backs that up: “Devin sent me an early version of the track and I was honestly blown away. The sound design and the vocal choice were so good that I couldn’t believe it!”
