Dance music heavyweights Hardwell and Steve Aoki came together on Dim Mak for ‘Anthem’. Released on the 13th of April, 2018, ‘Anthem’ is a massive tune with pulsating electro synths and big room 4/4 kicks that fuse flawlessly with Kris Kiss‘ glossy melodies and crowd-rallying vocals on a track that took the main stages by storm. This highly-anticipated song marked the first official collaboration between Hardwell and Aoki, two of the world’s most internationally recognized DJs.
A superstar Dutch DJ who helped shape the EDM explosion of 2012-2013, Robbert van de Corput became Hardwell when he began DJ’ing at the age of 13. Watching the massive dance parties broadcast on MTV encouraged the teen to learn how to mix, and he soon became interested in remixing and working on his own productions.
Electronic dance music producer and award-winning DJ Steve Aoki built his brand around raucous live sets, high-profile remixes and collaborations, and his indie label, Dim Mak Records. His official debut album, ‘Wonderland’, received a Grammy nomination for “Best Dance/Electronic Album” in 2013, while subsequent releases remained a steady presence in the US Dance chart Top Five, including a pair of chart-toppers with ‘Neon Future, Vol. 1’ (2014) and ‘Neon Future, Vol. 3’ (2018).
