Home Featured Hardwell discusses ‘Music Box’ with Martin Garrix and new Armin Van Buuren collaboration at Tomorrowland

Hardwell thrilled fans by discussing his long-awaited track ‘Music Box’ with Martin Garrix and his upcoming collaboration with Armin Van Buuren.

During his appearance on One World Radio at Tomorrowland, Hardwell shared some exciting updates about his current musical projects and collaborations. One of the key highlights was his discussion about ‘Music Box,’ his only official collaboration with Martin Garrix. The track, first heard in 2014, has not been officially released yet. However, Hardwell brought it back into his set at Tomorrowland this year, much to the delight of fans.

Hardwell also talked about the difficulties of collaborating with Garrix despite their strong friendship. Both DJs have incredibly busy schedules, making it hard for them to find studio time together. Additionally, their musical styles have diverged recently. Garrix is currently focusing on a progressive, euphoric sound, while Hardwell is exploring harder, techno beats. For any future collaboration to work, they would need to find a balance between these two styles.

In addition to ‘Music Box,’ Hardwell discussed his upcoming collaboration with Armin Van Buuren, titled ‘Follow The Light.’ He compared this new track to their previous collaboration, ‘Off The Hook,’ and expressed that ‘Follow The Light’ shows how much they have improved as a team. He believes it is a perfect example of their growth and shared excitement about its release in September.

Hardwell’s conversation on One World Radio gave fans a peek into his collaborative process and the challenges involved. His insights into working with both Martin Garrix and Armin Van Buuren highlight the fun and complexities of making music with other top DJs. Fans are now eagerly looking forward to the release of ‘Follow The Light’ and remain hopeful for the eventual release of ‘Music Box.’ Hardwell’s updates have certainly built anticipation and appreciation for the creative efforts behind these exciting projects.
