HARD DANCE WIXAPOL

Boiler Room's Hard Dance was birthed as a response to the thirst for harder, faster and more extreme sounds over the past few years. While the name Hard Dance is synonymous with OG rave days, the project is just as much a tip of the hat to the founding fathers as it is a documentation of the new, diverse generation of musicians who are redefining the boundaries of the scene. Perhaps the most progressive and influential examples of this new wave took root in Poland. The prankish traveling rave crew called WIXAPOL S.A. have captured the imagination of young Polish ravers via the fluorescently pumped-up and sped-out sounds of hardstyle, gabber, hard bass and an internet subgenre that translates into English as “popecore.”
