Hardwave

Hardwave is a unique take on more conventional wave music. Since 2016, the wave scene — originally an online phenomenon — has experienced an increase in physical events. Following this increase of physical shows played by wave DJs & producers, in 2017, Perth-based producers Skeler and Ytho began incorporating elements from trance and hardstyle into wave to appeal to the broader festival and club audience, thus popularising the genre. This led the wave scene to evolve into the emergent subgenre known as hardwave.
