REACTiVATE has revealed the full line-up for The Label Edition. On January 30, 2027, Poppodium 013 in Tilburg will be dedicated to five labels that have left their mark on the history of hardstyle. More than twenty acts will represent Fusion Records, Dirty Workz, A² Records, Minus is More and Spoontech Eternal, playing exclusively classics from the label they represent.

For its anniversary edition, REACTiVATE is introducing a one-off concept. While hardstyle has evolved in many different directions over the years, The Label Edition focuses on the labels that each built their own sound, roster of artists and identity within the scene.
The mainstage will be dedicated to Fusion Records, Dirty Workz, A² Records and Minus is More. Each label will be represented by three sets: two DJ sets and one special LIVE set. The artists will exclusively play classics from the label they represent, up to and including 2015. During the DJ sets, they can also play music from other artists who were part of that label. This leaves room not only for the well-known hits, but also B-sides and other classics that are heard less often nowadays.
Fusion Records
Fusion Records will be represented by The Pitcher, Zany and Noisecontrollers. The latter will take care of the special LIVE set, while The Pitcher and Zany can dig deep into the label’s archives during their DJ sets.
Dirty Workz
For Dirty Workz, Coone, Noisecult and Psyko Punkz are on the line-up. Psyko Punkz will bring his LIVE set to the mainstage, while Coone and Noisecult get the chance to dive further back into the label’s classics.
A² Records
A² Records will also get its own spot on the mainstage, represented by Adaro, Alpha Twins and E-Force. This will also bring the harder sound that helped lay the foundations for early raw to the stage. E-Force will take care of the LIVE set, while Adaro and Alpha Twins can reach back into the A² Records archives for their sets.
Minus is More
With Minus is More, the darker side of hardstyle classics will also have its place on the mainstage. Chain Reaction, Luna and Crypsis will represent the label, with Crypsis bringing his LIVE set and Chain Reaction and Luna diving further into the music from Minus is More’s past.
Spoontech Eternal takes over Area 2
While the other four labels will each get their own spot on the mainstage, Spoontech Eternal will take over Area 2 for the entire day. The timeline goes a little further here, with music from the label up to and including 2019 taking center stage.
D-Verze, Hardstyle Mafia, Infirium, Sasha F and Vyral vs Stratos are all part of the line-up. The final two hours are reserved for Mind Dimension & The Purge, who will join forces for a 120-minute closing set.
