Headhunterz and Vertile is a prominent hardstyle collaboration established in 2022.

The face of hardstyle, Headhunterz, firstly collaborated with rising producer and vocalist, Vertile for “Before I Wake”, released in his label, Art of Creation, in 2022. For Vertile, it’s his dream to finally collaborating with his “childhood heroes” (referring to Headhunterz’ side project of voice acting in Dutch-dubbed cartoons).

“Before I Wake” gained success in the hardstyle family, hailed as the track of the year for 2022 through community votes organized by prominent harder dance labels, Q-Dance and I Am Hardstyle.

In 2023, they united once again for “Lost Without You”, acting as the closing song for hardstyle’s primary festival, Defqon.1, together with Sian Evans as a co-vocalist with Vertile. Bringing up the theme of duality, the track repeats the success their previous track by getting top votes in Q-Dance and I Am Hardstyle charts for 2023.
