Hardwell is envisioning another massive techno hit for the mainstage.
The renowned Dutch electronic music icon continues to showcase his talent in the realm of mainstage techno with his latest single, “Goes Like This.” Teaming up with ShortRound, this track adds another impressive entry to Hardwell’s ever-evolving and intricate discography. Notable recent collaborations like “HUMAN” (featuring Machine Made) and “Twisted” (featuring Will Sparks) have further solidified his status as a techno powerhouse.
“Goes Like This” stands out as a pure, high-energy techno anthem, characterized by its unique and captivating pitch-bending lead synths that take listeners on a sonic journey. The song begins with a brief spoken-word introduction by Hardwell himself, setting a tone that is both introspective and commanding. This dialogue sets the stage for a captivating exploration of dark and cavernous soundscapes, reminiscent of the haunting tones found in his previous releases like “ACID” (with Maddix) in 2023.
ShortRound, who previously collaborated with Hardwell on “Don’t Let Me Go” under his Revealed Recordings label, brings a fresh and energetic dynamic to this collaboration. His influence is evident in the intricate layers and meticulous sound design of the song, perfectly complementing Hardwell’s newfound affinity for the ominous.
