Hardwell Releases Four-Track Remix EP with NLW, Bass Modulators, 2ACES

Four Remixes Spanning Big Room to Hardstyle

The EP opens with Countdown 2026, a refreshed version of the explosive collaboration between Hardwell and MAKJ. The track leans heavily into aggressive festival synths, punchy kicks, and dramatic buildups designed for massive crowds. This updated version adds a sharper modern production style that fits today's harder festival sound.

The NLW remix of How We Do by Hardwell and Showtek keeps the original's energetic identity alive while adding a more groove-focused and modern big room approach. NLW brings cleaner drops and tighter percussion to the track, creating a balance between nostalgic and current.

Bass Modulators Push Into Hardstyle Territory

One of the standout moments on the EP arrives with the Bass Modulators remix of Not Alone by Hardwell and Dyro. The track shifts fully into hardstyle territory with massive kicks, emotional melodies, and an intense drop built for late-night festival crowds. Bass Modulators injects the remix with raw energy while still preserving the emotional atmosphere of the original record.

2ACES Modernizes an Early Classic

Closing the EP is the 2ACES remix of Encoded, one of Hardwell's early career classics. Rather than completely reinventing the track, 2ACES modernizes it with updated sound design and a faster, more aggressive edge. The remix balances nostalgia with contemporary festival production, giving longtime Hardwell fans a fresh take on a beloved anthem.

The four-track project runs just under 13 minutes and showcases the different genres and styles currently shaping the festival circuit, from big room and progressive influences to hardstyle energy.
