Who is Level One? Level One Songs, Music, Discography & Artists Like Level One
4D4M is always digging through the harder side of the electronic music spectrum, and Level One is one of those artists that keeps showing up. If you haven’t heard the name before, that’s about to change. This Dutch hardcore and frenchcore producer from Tilburg has built a serious reputation in the hard dance underground, and Adam has recognizes the output closely.
The sound Level One brings is raw, relentless, and technically sharp. It hits with exactly the kind of aggressive energy that makes 4D4M geek out. This isn’t background music. It’s music built to move crowds and shake speakers at maximum BPM.
Who Is Level One?
Level One is a solo DJ and producer based in Tilburg, Netherlands. Operating primarily in the hardcore and frenchcore genres, the project has been active across the Dutch and European hard dance circuit, releasing music on respected labels including Scantraxx, Roughstate, and Speqtrum.
With releases going back to 2018 and a prolific output continuing through 2026, Level One has carved out a consistent presence in an increasingly competitive scene. Collaborations with artists like Adaro, B-Front, Digital Punk, and E-Force show that the project has earned real credibility from peers at the top of the genre. Tilburg has long been a hotbed for hard dance culture in the Netherlands, and Level One fits right into that legacy.
Level One’s Sound Explained
Level One operates at the intersection of hardcore and frenchcore, two genres that share DNA but have distinct identities. Hardcore in the Dutch tradition runs fast and brutal, with distorted kicks, aggressive basslines, and a relentless forward momentum. Frenchcore pushes the tempo further, typically landing at 200 BPM or above, with a chaotic, high-energy feel that’s almost violent in the best possible way.
What makes Level One stand out in a crowded EDM field is the balance between brute force and musicality. Tracks like “Family” (with Adaro) show the melodic side: emotional synth lines layered over crushing kick structure. “Claim The Power” with Wolv and Last Word leans harder and more anthemic, built for peak moments on a main stage. “Blinding Your Eyes” goes deep into frenchcore territory, faster and more frenetic than most producers would attempt. The melodies are real, the arrangements have structure, and the tracks tell a story even at 200 BPM.
Top 15 Level One Tracks
- Family (feat. Adaro): One of the most recognized Level One tracks, this collab hits a perfect balance of emotional melodic phrasing and high-impact kicks.
- Claim The Power (feat. Wolv, Last Word): An anthem built for main stage moments. The vocal hooks give it accessibility while the production stays firmly in hard dance territory.
- Closer Now (feat. Nathalie Blue): Released in 2026 on Scantraxx, this track builds atmosphere with a strong melodic lead before the kicks take over completely.
- Blinding Your Eyes: A solo cut that goes deep into frenchcore speed and chaos. Precise even at maximum BPM.
- The Curse Of The 909 (feat. Adaro): The 909 reference hits hard for anyone deep in electronic music history, and the track delivers on the name.
- The One That Got Away (feat. B-Front, ÆLINN): A three-way collab that pulls from melodic hardcore traditions. The ÆLINN vocal adds real emotional dimension.
- Men Of Steel: Adaro and Level One Remix (E-Force, Frequencerz): A remix that’s harder and faster than the original without losing what made it work.
- One And The Same (feat. Adaro, Nino Lucarelli): Strong melodic structure and layered production. The Nino Lucarelli vocal gives it a cinematic quality.
- Power Of The OG (feat. Digital Punk): Raw power, old-school mentality, modern production. Digital Punk and Level One are a natural combination.
- Listen (feat. E-Force): E-Force brings extra intensity to an already intense production. The back-and-forth between the two producers’ styles creates something that’s more than the sum of its parts.
- Reversed Reality: The 2023 Scantraxx release that showed Level One’s full range as a standalone producer.
- The Gods: A 2021 release that was a turning point. Heavier and more refined than earlier work.

Why 4D4M Vibes With Level One
Adam’s own production and DJ sets pull from the harder end of the electronic music catalog, and Level One fits that ethos completely. There’s no compromise here, no attempt to soften the sound for wider appeal. The project operates at the fringes of what’s physically comfortable to listen to, and that’s exactly where the most interesting music lives.
The collaborator network Level One has built tells its own story. Adaro, B-Front, Digital Punk, E-Force: relationships built through mutual respect in a tight-knit scene where credibility matters more than chart positions. The hard dance movement has been gaining serious momentum internationally, and Level One is one of the producers driving that from the ground up.

FAQ: Level One
What genre is Level One?
Level One produces hardcore and frenchcore, two high-BPM subgenres of hard dance music with roots in the Netherlands. Hardcore operates in the 160-180 BPM range with distorted kicks and aggressive energy. Frenchcore pushes this further, often reaching 200 BPM or above. Level One moves fluidly between both genres and has also appeared on hardstyle-adjacent releases, making the project broadly hard dance in scope.
Where is Level One from?
Level One is based in Tilburg, Netherlands. Tilburg has a strong tradition in hard dance culture and has produced a number of significant artists in the hardcore and frenchcore space. The Netherlands is considered one of the global centers for hard dance music, and Level One’s output reflects that local scene’s values: technically precise production, high energy, and a no-compromise approach to sound.
What label does Level One release music on?
Level One releases music primarily through Scantraxx, one of the most established labels in the hardstyle and hard dance space in the Netherlands. Additional releases have come through Roughstate and Speqtrum, both respected imprints in the harder electronic music community. Scantraxx has been the primary home for a large portion of the Level One catalog from 2019 onward.
Who has Level One collaborated with?
Level One has worked extensively with Adaro, including the widely recognized track “Family.” Other notable collaborations include B-Front with ÆLINN on “The One That Got Away,” Digital Punk on “Power Of The OG,” E-Force on “Listen,” and Wolv and Last Word on “Claim The Power.” These partnerships reflect Level One’s standing as a respected figure within the hard dance community.
Is Level One a solo artist or a group?
Level One is a solo project. The MusicBrainz database classifies it as an individual artist, and all production and DJ work is driven by one person. The extensive collaboration history can make it seem like a collective, but Level One is one producer working within a broad network of hard dance peers rather than a group or duo format.
What are the best Level One tracks for first-time listeners?
“Family” with Adaro is the most accessible starting point, with strong melodic elements that work even if you’re not already deep in the hardcore genre. From there, “Claim The Power” with Wolv and Last Word offers a more anthemic experience, and “The One That Got Away” with B-Front and ÆLINN has an emotional quality that stands out. For the full frenchcore experience, “Blinding Your Eyes” is the right entry point.
Where can 4D4M fans find Level One’s music?
Level One’s full catalog is available on Spotify, including all collaborations with Adaro, B-Front, Digital Punk, and others. The artist also maintains a SoundCloud profile with mixes and releases. Social media presence is active on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. For live events, checking the Scantraxx and Dedikted event schedules is a good starting point for upcoming shows.
