In a world- first collaboration, Maddix and Gabry Ponte, two of modern dance music’s most formidable names, collide and the result is ‘Hellfire.’ Out now on Extatic Records.
Going four-to-the-floor on an impounding techno beat ‘Hellfire’ pushes dancefloor extremities to the edge. Chilling echoes of choir singing ring out in chorus across the high-intensity composition bringing an ethereal and other-worldly level drama to ‘Hellfire.’ Both producers flex their dynamism in the studio when it comes to the intricate detail applied to such voluminous output. From the siren alarms which usher to the foreground, to the hair-raising anticipation built in the final explosive drop. There’s no doubt that ‘Hellfire’ calls for a mainstage, stadium-scale sound system to experience its velocity full.
Landing on Maddix’s own Extatic Records which launched in 2023 under Revealed Recordings, ‘Hellfire’ is a direct example of the rave-ready sound that has rocketed the Dutch DJ/producer to the frontline of electronic music in recent years. Support for Maddix’s piercing techno kicks has been vast in appeal, from Deborah de Luca and Amelie Lens to long-standing ally Hardwell, and fan-adornment from over 5 million monthly Spotify listeners. Currently #69 in the Top100 DJs Poll it comes as no surprise that Maddix’s jam-packed tour schedule sees him tear up the floors on all the biggest festivals such as Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland and all EDC editions worldwide.
Italian maestro Gabry Ponte is similarly boundless by nature. From his Grammy-nominated breakout single ‘Blue (da ba dee)’ in 1998 as part of Eiffel 65, to his next looming milestone as the first DJ to headline Milan’s famous San Siro Stadium in June 2025, Gabry Ponte has dedicated his life to the cause of dance music. The secret to his success? Versatility. Gabry Ponte’s musical output has included all-star collaborations with the likes of Steve Aoki, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Timmy Trumpet, but he also seeks to connect with fresh scene tastemakers, like T78 and CERES. The latter releasing on his new PENTAPHONIA Records, a techno-driven imprint with hazy late-night clubbing in mind.
Together, Maddix and Gabry Ponte bring absolute rave ‘Hellfire’ to dancefloor across the globe as the latest single to drop on Extatic Records!
