Atmozfears

1 festival played →

Euphoric hardstyle's most melodic writer — the hooks are the point, and they're built to be sung back.

Tim van de Stadt grew up in a musical household and was playing piano by age four before his attention turned to electronic production. He first performed under the name DJ Vapour, and later worked in house music with Bart Kuipers under the names BK & T-mothy and then Paranoia, after a spell studying production with Joshua Dutrieux in Hollywood.

Atmozfears began as a trio: van de Stadt met Kevin Keiser online in 2009, and the pair were joined by Michael Jessen, releasing the debut single 'The Return' with fellow producer Max Force. The group signed to the hardstyle label Scantraxx Records in 2012, and their EP Living for the Future gave them their first real breakthrough.

Jessen left by the end of 2012, and Keiser departed the following year to record under the name Infrno. Van de Stadt kept the Atmozfears name and has worked solo since, later collaborating with Hardwell on the 2017 track 'All That We Are Living For,' featuring M.Bronx.

His productions stay on the euphoric side of hardstyle, built around sung or vocal-led hooks, long melodic breakdowns and the genre's reverse bass and kick patterns, usually with a guest vocalist carrying the top line.
