Biography

2008: Musical beginnings

Tim van de Stadt grew up in a musical family and was already playing the piano at the age of 4. During his youth, his interest developed more and more towards electronic music and sound engineering. He initially made a name for himself in social networks under the pseudonym DJ Vapour, with which he was already active in hardstyle. [6] Together with his friend Bart Kuipers he started the act BK & T-mothy, producing house music. At the age of 17, producer Joshua Dutrieux (also known as JDX) noticed him and invited him to his studio in Hollywood to teach him more about producing music. [7] After a few months, van de Stadt returned to the Netherlands and continued to perform there with Kuipers under the name Paranoia. [8]

2008–2013: Foundation and separation of the trio

In 2008 he met Kevin Keiser, who had previously founded the Atmozfears project with Michael Jessen. They and van de Stadt met in a forum. They already celebrated their debut with their single The Return. The song was created in collaboration with the Dutch hardstyle producer Max Force and was released on the Italian record label “Explosive Records”. [9] At this time, Keiser lived in Canada, van de Stadt in Germany and Jessen in the Netherlands. The trio met for the first time in spring 2009 and the songs Supernatural and Inflicting You were created, which were their first collaborations. After releasing individual songs on various labels until the end of 2011, “Scantraxx” became aware of them at the beginning of 2012 and signed them. Their EP Living for the Future was released on this label in the spring, giving them their first breakthrough in the hardstyle scene. Regarding the distribution of roles, Keiser said that van de Stadt is the “brain” of the trio and is responsible for the ideas of the productions. Keiser and Jessen form the faces during the live performances. [10] But before success gave the trio the decisive step, Jessen announced that he was leaving the project. With Jessen's departure, van de Stadt accompanied Keiser behind the mixing desk, and their popularity on stage increased through joint appearances with, among others, Brennan Heart, Audiotricz and their long-time idol Wildstylez. In June 2013 they performed for the first time on the main stage of the world's largest hardstyle festival Defqon.1. [11] Just a few days later, Scantraxx announced that Keiser would also be leaving the project. Since then, Van de Stadt has appeared solely under this pseudonym.

2014–2016: Solo

Together with singer-songwriter David Spekter, he released the song Release in mid-2015. He also produced the official Qlimax anthem. [12] [13] Together with Carnage and Ty Dolla Sign, he produced the song Can You Feel It for Carnage's studio album Papi Gordo. [14]

In 2016, he founded the ATMO project together with the Dutch DJ and producer Sergio van den Heuvel, who previously also worked in hardstyle, to release electro house music. After contributing a remix to Hardwell's single Run Wild, they had to change their name for copyright reasons. This is where her current pseudonym, Seth Hills, came into being. At the Ultra Music Festival, Hardwell performed a reworked version of Atmozfears song Raise Your Hands. The song was released as a double single with the song Get 'Em.

On June 24, 2016, Atmozfears performed together with Audiotricz at Defqon.1 under the name Allstvrs. In addition to their third joint single, What About Us, they also presented a previously unreleased track. He also premiered the long-awaited collaboration with Hardwell on August 27, 2016, at his last “I Am Hardwell – United We Are” show at the Hockenheimring. [15]
