Leon Bolier became a key figure in the Dutch trance revival of the 2010s. Initially collaborating with his brother Bart as Subsphere, he released tracks on Green Martian and A State of Trance before going solo in 2005. Known for his prolific output and DJ skills, he joined Spinnin’s sublabel 2Play in 2006, releasing 20 tracks over three years. His 2008 debut album Pictures, featuring hits like “Ocean Drive Boulevard,” earned him spots on DJMag’s Top 100 DJs list in 2008 and 2009. In 2010, Bolier released Phantasma, blending big-room anthems with experimental sounds, supported by Tiësto and Armin van Buuren and featured on compilations like In Search of Sunrise 4 and A State of Trance 2006. By 2011, he shifted toward electro and progressive styles but in 2015, under the alias WSTLNDR, he returned to melodic roots with the introspective album Atmostopia on Black Hole Recordings.
With over 20 years in the music industry, Bolier also produces under his alias BLR since 2016, showcasing a deeper, darker, yet melodic club-focused sound. BLR blends influences from melodic techno, house, and trance into dancefloor-ready tracks. His debut release, “Nungwi,” was the first track signed to Tiësto’s Aftr:Hrs label, setting the stage for a distinctive, experimental style. This sound has earned him spots at major festivals like Tomorrowland, Mysteryland, and World Club Dome, as well as club gigs worldwide.
Amber Revival—After years of working behind the scenes as songwriters and producers for top artists, Berlin-based Netta & Arie, a.k.a. Amber Revival, have emerged as pivotal figures in the global trance scene. With nearly two decades of experience as songwriters earning them awards and #1 hits on the Billboard Charts, Amber Revival are celebrated for their innovative production style, heartfelt male-female vocal interplay, and deeply emotive lyrics. Their track “If You Only Knew,” a collaboration with Hel:sløwed, earned critical acclaim, and support from Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten, and secured the #5 spot in the 2023 A State of Trance year show. Follow-up releases like “Wildfire” on Armind (Armada Music) solidified their presence in the scene, hailed as a Progressive Pick and Future Favorite on A State of Trance. Their tracks have garnered support from industry giants Martin Garrix, Nicky Romero, Andrew Rayel, Solarstone, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike and many more.
“Wearing the Darkness” is their latest collaboration with trance legend Leon Bolier. This evocative track explores the hidden parts of ourselves that dwell in the shadows—unseen but ever-present. The lyrics and trance-inspired melody take listeners on a journey where struggle transforms into strength and silence holds its own power. “We’ve always admired the legendary Leon Bolier, so it was thrilling to see him bring our vision to life, crafting something hauntingly beautiful. This track not only marks the beginning of many collaborations but also the start of a great friendship,” shared Amber Revival.
