Leon Bolier & Amber Revival - Wearing the Darkness

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.

Berlin-based duo Netta Nimrodi and Arie Burshtein, known as Amber Revival, are multi-platinum songwriters and producers recognized for their heartfelt male-female vocal blend. Backed by top acts like Armin van Buuren and Martin Garrix, they won the 2020 German Songwriting Award for their EDM hit "Let The Sun Rise" and gained international acclaim with "If You Only Knew," which topped the UAE iTunes Dance chart. Their Eurovision contributions include Russia’s 2017 and 2018 entries and co-writing. With orchestral experience and advanced music degrees, they also run their own label, distributed by AWAL/Sony Music. Amber Revival made a strong return to electronic music last year with numerous releases on renowned labels such as Armada and Black Hole Recordings, where their last release dropped.

“Wearing the Darkness” is the latest collaboration between Leon Bolier and Amber Revival, and it’s a truly powerful piece.

The track takes listeners on a journey through those concealed spaces, where struggle transforms into strength and silence holds its own power.
