Broken Minds are Spain's hardcore flag-bearers: the duo whose 2019 album 'Break Your Mind' broke worldwide and put Spanish hardcore on the genre's biggest stages.

Broken Minds carried [hardcore](/new-hardcore-techno-releases) somewhere it had rarely been: out of the Dutch polder and onto Spanish soil, and then back to the genre's biggest stages as equals.

### An instant connection

Omar Ruiz (OMI) and Rodri Bustamante began working together in 2014 after noticing an immediate musical chemistry. Two years later the Dogfight Records signing arrived, along with a Best Hardcore Artists award from Fiestahard: Spain's scene had produced its first internationally credible hardcore export.

### Break Your Mind

The 2019 debut album 'Break Your Mind' was the detonation. Anchored by 'Absolute Power' with Italian heavyweight [AniMe](/artists/anime) (a track approaching 2.5 million Spotify streams) and 'Braveheart' with Destructive Tendencies, the album was embraced by hardcore fans worldwide and moved the duo from scene curiosity to fixture.

### Main stage passport

The booking sheet since reads like hardcore's complete festival map: Dominator, Defqon.1, Masters of Hardcore, Thunderdome, SYNDICATE, Harmony of Hardcore, Decibel Outdoor - and Tomorrowland, where hardcore's borders blur into the global mainstream. Alongside veterans like [Tha Playah](/artists/tha-playah) and [Evil Activities](/artists/evil-activities), Broken Minds prove the genre's next chapter is being written in more languages than Dutch.
