Hardwell On Air

Last updated

Hardwell On Air (HOA) is a monthly radio show that is created and hosted by Dutch DJ and record producer Hardwell. On March 4, 2011, the program started as a weekly live broadcast on Fridays from 11:00 to 12:00 via Hardwell's official YouTube and Facebook profiles. Also, a number of Internet and FM radio stations broadcast the podcast, which is made available as a free download. During the show he plays new productions in a one-hour set, comprising genres like big room, progressive house, electro house, and tech house, among others. Episodes frequently end with a hard style track.

The 500th episode was broadcast on January 15, 2021. It follows up a new show called "Revealed Selected", hosted by Adam K of Tomorrowland One World Radio. [1]

On November 3, 2023, HOA was relaunched as a monthly broadcast on YouTube after a two year hiatus. Previous episodes remain available as a playlist on his YouTube channel. [2]

Concept

The sets have a length of one hour and are initiated with a vocal short. This consists of a distorted voice, which introduces each episode with the same word sequence: "Are we on air? Welcome to the soundtrack of your nightlife. One hour of the present and future. Tune in to Hardwell On Air." The soundtrack of the intro consists of the song "Encoded" by Hardwell himself, released in the year 2011. [3] A follow-up statement from Hardwell can be heard. Usually one or more smoother songs follow the intro. Since 2023, the soundtrack of the intro consists of the song Shotgun (It Ain't Over) by Hardwell featuring Bright Lights, released in the year 2023.

The following segments are followed in the episodes:

After the different categories have been dealt with, the music style is mostly changed to Hardstyle or Future Bass. For many songs, a shout or tag referring to the podcast is added, to protect the song from being used before the release is done. Regarding this, in early 2017 a video was posted online which shows Korean comedian and DJ G-Park and DJharles playing Jewelz & Sparks's "Grande Opera". During the break Hardwell can be heard presenting the track as well as the "Hardwell On Air tag" just before the drop starts. This indicated that the duo recorded the track from the podcast and did not get it legally. [4] As a running gag, the duo has played the track in combination with the "Hardwell On Air tag" since then.

On June 14, 2017, Jewelz & Sparks played their track "Grande Opera" with the Hardwell On Air sample again in Ultra Music Festival Korea, and also posted it to Facebook.
