BIIANCO GOES FULL THROTTLE WITH ‘softcore_hardstyle’

BIIANCO is pushing further into the abrasive edges of electronic music with “softcore_hardstyle,” released on November 4 via Ultra Records. The New York-born, Berlin-based producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist delivers a relentless combination of distorted kicks, industrial textures, pounding basslines and haunting melodies, bringing the physical intensity of underground rave culture into sharp focus. As the second single from their forthcoming near_sight EP, the track represents another step in an artistic evolution increasingly defined by experimentation, technical precision and an uncompromising approach to live performance.

Drawing from hard techno, gabber, hardstyle, trance and punk, “softcore_hardstyle” finds BIIANCO navigating the space between aggression and emotion. Abrasive synthesizers collide with processed vocals and driving percussion, while melodic elements reminiscent of early-2000s trance emerge beneath the distortion. Rather than treating these influences as separate genres, BIIANCO brings them together into a sound that feels deliberately chaotic yet carefully engineered. The result reflects an artist whose relationship with electronic music extends well beyond conventional DJing, incorporating a deep understanding of synthesis, instrumentation and sound design.

The release continues the conceptual direction introduced by August’s “where_the_drummer_at?”, an acid-driven production built around frenetic breakbeats, live vocals and relentless percussion. Together, the two tracks establish the central narrative of near_sight, a project examining the relationship between humans and machines, particularly how technology influences creativity, identity and artistic expression. For BIIANCO, these questions are not simply conceptual. Their performances combine DJing, live instrumentation, analog hardware, modular synthesis and vocals, transforming the traditional DJ set into something closer to a constantly evolving electronic performance.

That approach has become increasingly visible across international stages. Throughout 2026, BIIANCO has brought their hybrid performances to Tomorrowland, Boiler Room Festival in London, Lofi Amsterdam and Cocoricò in Italy, alongside appearances throughout Europe and the Americas. Their growing reputation follows the viral success of “Against The Wall,” a collaboration with 1111 that generated more than 35 million views through a live-looping performance video in 2023. Since then, collaborations and performances alongside artists including Marlon Hoffstadt, SPFDJ and KTK have helped establish BIIANCO within the international techno and hard dance communities.

Beyond the studio and touring circuit, BIIANCO is also expanding their involvement in underground club culture through GAIA, a femme-powered event series designed to encourage collaboration and community within the harder edges of electronic music. Following successful editions in London and Los Angeles, the project is entering a new phase in collaboration with KTK, reinforcing BIIANCO’s commitment to creating spaces where experimentation and collective expression remain central. With near_sight on the horizon, “softcore_hardstyle” offers another glimpse into an artist increasingly interested in dismantling the boundaries between producer, performer and machine.
