STETIX Makes Waves with His Paradigm Shift Debut, Featuring Original Hard Dance Tracks
STETIX, a rising star in the American Hard Dance scene, hails from Southern California and has gained significant traction in recent years. His musical journey began in 2009 when he first encountered techno and trance music. Even then, he sought something heavier and darker.
In his quest for “dark hardcore techno/electronic music,” he discovered Angerfist, which broadened his musical horizons and ignited his passion for hardstyle and hardcore.
DJ Bl3nd played a pivotal role in STETIX’s evolution, inspiring him to step into DJing. By 2011, STETIX had acquired his first DJ controller and dedicated himself to practice, drawing inspiration from the artists who influenced him. His enthusiasm for dance music quickly transformed into a full-blown passion, leading him to start producing music in 2014. Although he experimented with various genres, he ultimately returned to his first love: hardstyle.
Since launching his career, STETIX has established himself as a key figure in American Hard Dance, sharing stages with legends like Brennan Heart, Coone, and Anime, and performing at events such as Basscon Wasteland, local gatherings like Hard Havoc, and international gigs. Despite a hectic touring schedule, he remains committed to honing his craft in the studio.
I’m very happy with the music I have been creating and the ideas that come to me. The biggest challenge I face is perfectionism. I am constantly trying to highlight every detail and aspect of my tracks. I really like to tell a story and take the listener on a journey of sound. I don’t have a set release date, but I will definitely have new music out this year!

Beyond music production and DJing, STETIX actively supports the hardstyle community as a fan. “Though I have seen growth in this genre, it hasn’t yet reached its full potential. I would love to see hard dance artists on larger festival stages and in more mainstream settings,” he expressed.
He acknowledges that “trends come and go, and capitalizing on what is popular or experimenting can be crucial for business.” However, he emphasizes the importance of preserving the essence of hardstyle. STETIX believes in a promising future for hard dance in America, fueled by the dedication of its fans and artists, and envisions it reaching extraordinary heights.
Adding another milestone to his career, STETIX has made his debut in our hard dance mix series, Paradigm Shift! For 30 minutes, he captivates listeners with a high-energy guest mix filled entirely with his original tracks. Fans can enjoy his unique sound on tracks like “Meditation,” “Cosmic Creativity (Dimension G Anthem),” “Reflection,” and more. Additionally, STETIX reveals a special ID with SAJCHE titled “RETINA.”
There is nothing that I am more passionate about and have such a strong love for than hard dance music. I truly strive to see this music be exposed to a wider audience so more people recognize how passionate the hard dance community is. Being attentive to your audience, listeners, and customers and seeing their feedback is very important for long term success and maintaining their trust. There is a bright future for hard dance music in America!
