On September 12, 2025, the Hardstyle world was shaken by the release of Deezl’s highly anticipated album, “LESS_IS_MORE”. Previously known for his powerful Rawstyle and his side project Cybergore, Deezl (aka Joel) surprised the community with a work of unexpected emotional depth, marking a bold turning point in his career and positioning the album, for many fans on Reddit and social media, as one of the best Hardstyle albums of the year.
On June 13, 2025, talented producer Vertile released his latest album, Everything Changes, immediately sparking reactions on Reddit and social media. The album balances melodic Hardstyle, powerful Rawstyle, and hints of Uptempo, creating an intense and varied listening experience.
The album also demonstrates Adrenalize’s willingness not to be confined to a single subgenre. The collaboration on Remedy with Deezl—an artist better known for melodic Rawstyle—surprised and delighted the community. This track is frequently cited as a highlight, blending Deezl’s dark, emotional atmosphere with Adrenalize’s high-touching synths to create a track that is both hard-hitting and melancholic, proving he is capable of marrying his style with other facets of contemporary Hardstyle.
March 21, 2025, will forever be a date for the Hardstyle history books as the day Bioweapon (the duo formed by Code Black and Audiofreq) finally released their long-awaited album: Time Capsule.
