Dutch techno innovator Maddix returns with a powerful new single, “Move It 2 The Drum,” released now on his own EXTATIC Records. Fusing the explosive energy of early 2000s hardstyle with his forward-thinking techno vision, the track stands out as another defining moment in a year of bold releases and nonstop global touring.
“Move It 2 The Drum is inspired by early hardstyle from the 00’s, blended with a modern techno and mainstage twist,” explains Maddix. “Reverse basslines, punchy kicks, and old-school synth sounds bring it all together. Fun fact: the vocal sample from Hardwell & DJ Chuckie’s original was added after the track was already finished — it just fit perfectly!”
Supported by tastemakers including Amelie Lens, Reinier Zonneveld, and Hardwell, Maddix has cemented himself as a major force at the intersection of underground rave and high-impact festival sound. His recent singles “Mix The Master” and “Rave Till My Grave” set the stage for a relentless second half of 2025, including headline sets at Tomorrowland Brasil, Creamfields Chile, Dreamfields Mexico, and Dreamstate SoCal. He’ll also bring his energy to Amsterdam Dance Event with a Maddix All Day Rave headline and a special guest slot at Revealed Label Night.
From sweaty warehouse floors to massive festival stages, “Move It 2 The Drum” delivers unrelenting drive, engineered to hit hard and move fast.
