Envine recently launched his own record label Melodic Hardstyle and is celebrating this today with the first official release. The label was founded with the mission to put melodic hardstyle back at the center of the genre. “There are already 15 releases planned.”

According to Envine, the birth of Melodic Hardstyle is a response to the changing trends within the hardstyle scene, in which the focus has shifted more towards hard/raw sounds in recent years. “There is currently no place where lovers of melodic hardstyle and artists who create this sound come together,” says Envine about the origins. The label wants to change this and offer a platform for artists with a euphoric, melodic sound.
Envine’s experience as an artist, with releases on various major labels, has shaped his vision on running a label. “I want to guide artists and help them get the best out of their music. Quality comes first, and we think along with strategies to give their work more visibility,” he explains. In addition to his own work, international artists will also release their tracks via the label.
Envine indicates that several records are already planned, including a release by an Italian producer and the comeback of a German hardstyle artist. “I think that with Melodic Hardstyle we can really bring back the musical side of hardstyle, where every artist has his or her own signature sound.” The next artist of the label will also be announced on September 26.
