Hardwell Announces 2 New EPs and KSHMR Collaboration, All Dropping In Coming Months

Hardwell is busy this weekend playing Ultra Singapore. While he was waiting to take the stage at the festival he sat down with the Ultra staff and did a brief interview. In the interview he answered questions tweeted out by fans and even though it was brief he dropped A LOT of dope information. We have to give a big shout out to Revealed Records Portugal for capturing the below video and tweeting it out.

The first question was around his track with Henry Fong and Mr. Vegas that was debuted at Ultra Miami. He announced that it will be included in one of two EPs that he is planning on dropping this summer. In total the two EPs will include 8 new songs. The next question was about his collaboration with KSHMR, ‘Power’, which he revealed will be coming shortly after the summer is over, as they are still putting the finishing touches on the tune. Get ready folks, Hardwell is going to be dropping some HEAT!

“Power” Delivered On The Hype

Hardwell and KSHMR’s “Power” arrived just as promised in this interview, releasing on Revealed Recordings and quickly becoming one of the more memorable big room collaborations of that stretch. Both producers have deep roots in the festival mainstage sound, and pairing Hardwell’s anthemic, drop-heavy style with KSHMR’s flair for cinematic, culturally-inspired melodies gave the track a distinct identity rather than just sounding like a generic big room team-up. It went on to see plenty of festival play in the years that followed, cementing itself as a staple in both artists’ live sets.

Hardwell’s Prolific Stretch On Revealed

This interview captured Hardwell mid-run on one of the busiest release stretches of his career, juggling multiple EPs and collaborations simultaneously through his own Revealed Recordings imprint. Running your own label gives an artist like Hardwell the freedom to release on his own timeline rather than waiting on outside label schedules, which is exactly how he was able to string together this kind of rapid-fire rollout — debuting unreleased material live at Ultra Miami, then following up with confirmed release windows just months later. It’s a pace that’s hard to sustain, but it kept Hardwell’s name constantly in the conversation throughout 2017.
