Taking place on Saturday, March 22, the landmark event, in collaboration with Motionz and FERAL®, will celebrate the synthesis of music, fashion and artistic innovation.
On March 22, Zaandam’s legendary Hemkade will set the stage for an extraordinary fusion of music, fashion, innovation and rebellion as internationally celebrated Dutch techno artist HADES presents “VILLAIN (All Night Long)” – an all-encompassing album and clothing line launch party, in collaboration with hard techno event organiser Motionz and renowned fashion brand FERAL.
Running from 23:00 to 06:00, the iconic Netherlands venue will come alive with the raw energy and emotional depth of HADES, marking the release of his highly anticipated new album, VILLAIN, and the unveiling of a cutting-edge collaboration with rebellious street-wear brand FERAL. This promises to be more than just an event; rather, a defining moment in electronic music culture where the boundaries of art, sound and style collide in spectacular fashion.
HADES is a name synonymous with innovation in the electronic music scene. A trailblazer within the industry, he has forged a unique path by creating and popularizing the genre of Melodic Industrial Techno – a daring fusion of melancholic melodies and the unrelenting power of industrial beats. With millions of streams and a loyal global fanbase, HADES is more than an artist; he’s a movement.
His live performances are a masterclass in storytelling through sound, blending raw emotional intensity with unrelenting rhythms that resonate deeply with audiences. “VILLAIN (All Night Long)” promises to be an unforgettable showcase of this artistry, as HADES takes the decks for an extended seven-hour set, delivering a sonic journey that bridges the past, present and future of his pioneering sound.
The All Night Long event coincides with the release of “VILLAIN”, HADES’ most ambitious and extensive musical work to date. Due for release on March 22, the twenty-five track album is a bold statement of intent, pushing the boundaries of Melodic Industrial Techno while exploring themes of rebellion, power and emotional resilience. Fans will get the first chance to experience the album in its entirety, as HADES weaves its narrative live on stage.
Speaking about the upcoming album release HADES commented:
“VILLAIN is an album that showcases dark and masterful sound design, combining together layers of emotion, trauma and atmosphere. It’s built around the idea of either dying a hero or living long enough to see yourself become the villain”.
Adding another layer of excitement to the showcase, the event will see HADES team up with FERAL, a street-wear brand born on the dance floor and celebrated for its rebellious spirit. FERAL is known for inspiring a new generation of boundary-pushers with its unapologetic designs, meticulous craftsmanship and unmistakable style. The partnership promises fresh silhouettes conceived through a shared vision, pushing boundaries in both fashion and club culture. With plans to broaden its range even further in the coming months, it appears FERAL’s rapid rise has only just begun.
The collaboration represents a perfect alignment of visions: HADES’ defiant, boundary-breaking music and FERAL’s daring, no-compromise ethos. At the event, fans will have the exclusive opportunity to explore and purchase pieces from this dynamic partnership, which captures the spirit of those who refuse to conform.
“VILLAIN (All Night Long)” is not just another event—it’s the culmination of a cultural moment that celebrates the unrelenting spirit of techno and the individuals who dare to stand out. Attendees will be part of an immersive experience where music, fashion, and rebellion come together to create something truly unforgettable.
