Q-Dance Releases Their Cinematic “X-Qlusive Legends” Trailer

Instead of typical slow-motion compilations of girls with flags on people’s shoulders, Q-Dance has taken a different approach with their trailer for X-Qlusive Legends event.

The trailer features Headhunterz, Brennan Heart and many other Hardstyle super-stars that will be part of the line up at X-Qlusive Legends, an event held in Amsterdam this October.

4th of October 2014 – Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam.

Meet & Greet Alexis y Fido @ Radio Shack (Review) [Event]

005
We got a chance to catch up and interview non other than five time Latin Billboard nominees Alexis y Fido. The meet and greet took place in Miami, FL at the Dolphin Mall. It was a great time and an awesome gesture by these two guys. Since the beginning of their career they’ve demonstrated love for the fans and “la entrega” (the commitment) for the music they make. The fans didn’t hesitate to make their way to Radio Shack to see this talented duo.

012
The people of Miami are well known for their love of music and it’s fair to say their fan base is faithful and shows support no matter what. Hundreds of fans stood in line waiting for a chance to have one on one contact with Alexis y Fido, for many, a dream come true. Stay tune for the interview.

Headhunterz – Society @ Firestone Live (Event) [Review]

Headhunterz Interview- Event 033

What an amazing show Saturday night in Orlando. Headhunterz pulled off one of the best Hardstyle events the state of Florida has experienced so far. The energy his music released to the crowd was perfectly noticed and created an atmosphere full of good sounds, dance and unity. Its all up to the performer to take full control of his event and Headhunterz did just that. His interaction with the crowd and his moves reflected that he is humble, caring and true to his style; this is why he’s one of the most successful Hardstyle DJs. His set was made of songs that reminded us of his creative talented way of tailoring the best sounds and beats. Music fans with an open mind really appreciated and felt the happiness. Thanks to Firestone Live, Alliance Events and HTG Events for continuously supporting the Hardstyle movement. Stay tuned for the follow up interview we had a chance to conduct that night with Headhunterz.
