Tim van de Stadt, known his stage name Atmozfears, is a Dutch hardstyle artist. Atmozfears was previously a trio, consisting of Tim, Kevin Keiser and Michael Jessen, formed in 2009. By the end of 2012, Jessen had left the group. In February 2012, Atmozfears joined the hardstyle label Scantraxx Records.[2] Atmozfears has played at such festivals as Defqon.1, The Qontinent, Q-Base and Tomorrowland.
On July 1, 2013, Scantraxx announced that Tim and Kevin had gone separate ways.[3] Tim kept the "Atmozfears" synonym, while Kevin would end up becoming another hardstyle producer called Infrno. In 2017, Tim collaborated with Hardwell on the Hardwell & Friends Vol.1 EP on a song called "All That We Are Living For" featuring M.Bronx.[4] In 2018, Atmozfears produced the main anthem for the Q-Base Festival, commemorating its 15th and last edition.[5]
Biography
2008: Musical beginnings
Tim van de Stadt grew up in a musical family and was already playing the piano at the age of 4. During his youth, his interest developed more and more towards electronic music and sound engineering. He initially made a name for himself in social networks under the pseudonym DJ Vapour, with which he was already active in hardstyle.[6] Together with his friend Bart Kuipers he started the act BK & T-mothy, producing house music. At the age of 17, producer Joshua Dutrieux (also known as JDX) noticed him and invited him to his studio in Hollywood to teach him more about producing music.[7] After a few months, van de Stadt returned to the Netherlands and continued to perform there with Kuipers under the name Paranoia.[8]
2008–2013: Foundation and separation of the trio
In 2008 he met Kevin Keiser, who had previously founded the Atmozfears project with Michael Jessen. They and van de Stadt met in a forum. They already celebrated their debut with their single The Return. The song was created in collaboration with the Dutch hardstyle producer Max Force and was released on the Italian record label “Explosive Records”.[9] At this time, Keiser lived in Canada, van de Stadt in Germany and Jessen in the Netherlands. The trio met for the first time in spring 2009 and the songs Supernatural and Inflicting You were created, which were their first collaborations. After releasing individual songs on various labels until the end of 2011, “Scantraxx” became aware of them at the beginning of 2012 and signed them. Their EP Living for the Future was released on this label in the spring, giving them their first breakthrough in the hardstyle scene. Regarding the distribution of roles, Keiser said that van de Stadt is the “brain” of the trio and is responsible for the ideas of the productions. Keiser and Jessen form the faces during the live performances.[10] But before success gave the trio the decisive step, Jessen announced that he was leaving the project. With Jessen's departure, van de Stadt accompanied Keiser behind the mixing desk, and their popularity on stage increased through joint appearances with, among others, Brennan Heart, Audiotricz and their long-time idol Wildstylez. In June 2013 they performed for the first time on the main stage of the world's largest hardstyle festival Defqon.1.[11] Just a few days later, Scantraxx announced that Keiser would also be leaving the project. Since then, Van de Stadt has appeared solely under this pseudonym.
2014–2016: Solo
Together with singer-songwriter David Spekter, he released the song Release in mid-2015. He also produced the official Qlimax anthem.[12][13] Together with Carnage and Ty Dolla Sign, he produced the song Can You Feel It for Carnage's studio album Papi Gordo.[14]
In 2016, he founded the ATMO project together with the Dutch DJ and producer Sergio van den Heuvel to release electro house music. After contributing a remix to Hardwell's single Run Wild, they had to change their name for copyright reasons to Seth Hills.[15] At the Ultra Music Festival, Hardwell performed a reworked version of Atmozfears song Raise Your Hands. The song was released as a double single with the song Get 'Em.
On June 24, 2016, Atmozfears performed together with Audiotricz at Defqon.1 under the name Allstvrs.[16] He also premiered his collaboration with Hardwell on August 27, 2016, at his last “I Am Hardwell – United We Are” show at the Hockenheimring.[17]
2017: Dispute with Energyzed
On January 1, 2017, Atmozfears posted a text on Facebook in which he accused the Dutch DJ and producer Xander Mourits aka Energyzed of stealing. He found out through friends and also through the record label that Energyzed van de Stadt's project files, kicks as well as other samples and entire demo tracks were stolen, renamed and then sold for several thousand dollars. The Facebook post disappeared after some time, and it is believed that they settled out of court.[18]
In the course of the dispute, they presented a final single together as a sign of their previous good friendship. This was released under the title Fabric of Creation / Age of Gods on January 30, 2017, and is therefore a double single. A week later, on February 6, 2017, the fourth collaboration with Audiotricz, Handz Up, premiered at Defqon.1, was released.
On July 27, 2017, he and Hardwell released All That We Are Living For as a single.[19] The track, which was first played last year, was released as part of the release of Hardwell's EP Hardwell & Friends EP Vol. 1.[4]
2018-2019: Anthems and collaborations
At the beginning of 2018, Atmozfears produced the anthem of the Australian festival Midnight Mafia with the song City of Dragons.[20][21] This was followed by a series of solo singles and a collaboration with the Dutch producer Noisecontrollers.[22] He was also commissioned to produce the anthem for the 2018 edition of Q-Base.[23] In October 2018, they presented their song The Humming at Q-dance presents: Project One, which is a cover version of the song of the same name by Irish musician Enya. The song quickly gained popularity in the hardstyle scene, but Enya did not allow it to be released because she herself did not like the song and consequently prohibited the use of her music. In 2019, Atmozfears made the anthem for the Decibel outdoor festival named Live Loud in collaboration with LXCPR, which was released on June 24, 2019.[24]
