About Akimbo
Akimbo are one of the breakout names in uptempo hardcore, a Dutch duo whose fast, bouncy tracks have racked up some of the biggest streaming numbers in the modern scene. Their whole approach is aimed at the festival floor: loud, hook-driven and built to keep a crowd moving at full speed.
Fast, loud and bouncy
Uptempo lives at the extreme end of hard dance, and Akimbo lean into it without losing the fun. Their tracks pair the genre’s hard, distorted kick with catchy, playful hooks, the kind of formula that translates from a phone speaker to a main stage without losing any impact.
A streaming breakout
The duo has moved quickly, turning out a stream of high-energy cuts like ‘L.P.A.’, ‘Bingo!’, ‘HASAGI’, ‘Zombies’ and ‘WaKe uP’. That heavy, consistent output through 2025 and 2026 is a big part of why they have become one of uptempo’s most-played new acts.
Part of the uptempo surge
Akimbo sit right in the middle of a fast-growing uptempo wave, alongside names like Gezellige Uptempo, Mind Compressor and US export Lil Texas.
