Hardwell & Friends Vol. 2 is the second volume of two EPs that were released in summer 2017. They are recorded by Dutch DJ and record producer Robbert Van De Corput, better known as Hardwell. The release of the first part was done on 28 July 2017 by Hardwell's own record label Revealed Recordings. [1]
Since "Badam" was confirmed to be part of one of the eps and was not part of the first ones tracklist it was clear to be part of the second one. [2] In an interview, Hardwell confirmed also that he is thinking about the release of a third collection of songs. In a further one he told to be working on it already.
In the middle of August 2017 the cover of the EP appeared on the Internet. In addition to Hardwell, each individual cooperation partner is featured on the EP. Only Max Collins, singer of Still the One is not featured on the cover. During the 330th episode of his "Hardwell On Air" podcast he played the entire tracklist as a minimix. [3]
Hardwell released a teaser of the EP's first single on Monday, August 21, 2017, called "Badam". It's a dark Caribbean and Middle Eastern-influenced sound featuring Henry Fong and Mr. Vegas. [4]
The two eps were rumored to replace the annual "Hardwell presents Revealed" volume for 2017, but in early September, Hardwell announced that he is mixing the 8th volume. Days earlier he talked about a third volume of the "Hardwell & Friends EPs". [5] [6]
