What if there was a hidden trigger buried in Hardstyle that could elevate a track from being just another release to a genre-defining banger? Once you uncover this, you’ll never listen to a Hardstyle track the same way again.
CIIMERA, a Germany-based DJ and producer, taps into this very switch with his latest release, Time To Rise. Known for blending nostalgic Hands-Up sounds with modern Hardstyle, he continues to push boundaries in electronic music. With previous features on R3SPAWNED Radio and Tomorrowland’s official radio channels, CIIMERA is no stranger to the scene. However, his newest single flips expectations. It’s not just a song, it’s a statement—a dynamic fusion of Hands-Up, Hard Dance, and Hardstyle with unique German vocals.
As CIIMERA explains, “Time To Rise is an energetic fusion of uptempo dance music and euphoric Hardstyle chords, with powerful leads and melodic drops designed to dominate the dance floor.” The track carries a high-energy vibe, measured at 150 BPM, with the right balance of melodic euphoria and aggressive kicks. According to our analysis, the song’s key (C# Minor) and a loudness of -4 dB perfectly align with the genre’s latest trends.
The track’s vocal elements, an unexpected twist, bring a fresh element to the Hardstyle sound, something that hasn’t been widely explored within this specific context. As Heathcliff, from The Lions Ground Entertainment Group, notes, “The vocals add a unique layer, giving it that extra edge. It’s polished, dynamic, and holds your attention throughout.” This interplay between vocals and high-energy beats creates a fresh space in Hardstyle that’s worth exploring.
Hardstyle is evolving, but what makes Time To Rise stand out is how it reflects the genre’s current trajectory. In 2024, Hardstyle is blending euphoric and raw elements more than ever before. Artists are incorporating nostalgic elements like Hands-Up into tracks but pairing them with aggressive sound design. CIIMERA has capitalized on this trend by bringing something both familiar and innovative. The melodic chords and vocal infusions set against the driving beats show exactly why Hardstyle fans are drawn to this track.
