Global Hard Battle

Spaces for artists at our studio are limited, so don’t miss out! We stream live from RH Studios in Waalwijk on Twitch and Real Hardstyle. Secure your spot now for this incredible networking event. Register yourself via the following registration form.

The event will run daily from 08:00 AM to 00:00 AM CET, with set replays available outside of these hours.

We will strive to create a timetable that is accessible to participants from various time zones around the world. In past editions, we ensured that listeners could enjoy the aired sets during their local daytime or evening hours. Rest assured, we’ll keep this in mind when planning the schedule!

Not immediately. Your mix will first go through a basic quality check and selection process. Due to limited time slots each day, all submitted sets are reviewed after registration. To increase your chances of being part of the Global Hard Battle, be sure to put full focus on your mixing skills and track selection! Don’t forget to have the right export quality! mp3 320kbps.

As soon as the deadline is reached, you will receive an e-mail. Shortly after your set is approved you will receive the timetable flyers, country flyers, and artist flyers with information such as when you may post it on your social media accounts. You are free to share your social media accounts on time before the event takes place. Note: Don’t forget to tag us in your post for more visibility!

No. Unfortunately, we will not accept requests to register after the deadline date due to the time it requires to setup the timetable.

Unfortunately not. At this moment, we don’t have enough in-house capacity to create such a technical solution/application. However we will create flyers and artwork per day and per artist for promotional purposes. Don’t forget to download the Real Hardstyle app on IOS/Android.
