With an industry-shattering return to his live form after close to four years away from touring, HardwelldominatesUltra Music Festival 2022with over1.5 million fanssince reliving the spectacle onYouTube. Hardwell’sreturn signalled a change in direction as he rallied through 60 minute set of all-original material that took fans on a darker, more underground rooted journey. The Ultrareturn show also announced a new forthcomingREBELS NEVER DIE album and the first show in an accompanying world tour for the studio long-player release. Having already released album singles ‘BROKEN MIRROR’, ‘INTO THE UNKNOWN’ and’F*CKINGSOCIETY’ to colossal acclaim, Hardwell now assaults his release schedule with another foreboding offering in ‘BLACK MAGIC’.
With a melodic keynote loop taking the lead, ‘BLACK MAGIC’walks us into a techno-leaning environment, pulsating, twisting and turning with glistens of synths, all offset by heavy, rumbling punches and sub-bass. The provocative, attitude-adjacent female vocal declares, “..my skin starts to burn up” and asks, “What kind of voodoo do you do? “it’s a raw yet irresistible addition that injects the club-ready, early-hour rhythms with a smooth edge.
For the second half of ‘BLACK MAGIC’, Hardwell brings into the mix a cinematic breakdown and an indication of the more minimal styles of his new underground leaning sound. Before shooting right back of the Richter Scale with a vengeance, tight, syncopated loops and backbeat snares that sound crisp andabrasive, holding the audiences’ attention with no apologies given for a classy, futuristic sequence.
