ND4

ND4 is proof of how xtra raw careers get built in the 2020s: not with one viral hit, but with a monthly drumbeat of singles until the scene can’t ignore the name. Nine tracked releases since June 2025 make this one of the busiest young catalogues on HDRR’s raw radar.

The ACTIVATED Records run

The spine of it runs through ACTIVATED Records: ‘The Void’ in June 2025, then ‘Self Destruction’, ‘DNA’, ‘LCX’ and, into 2026, ‘Set The World On Fire’, a label relationship consistent enough to read as a roster spot rather than a one-off signing. Around it came ‘DARK CIRCUS’ in April 2026, ‘Demons’ in June and ‘Argent Energy’ in July.

Scene-mates and sparring partners

The key collaboration so far is ‘Mutilation’ with DR4MATIC, a fellow ACTIVATED-affiliated xtra raw act on a near-identical trajectory: the two catalogues read like training partners. The genre they’re climbing is rawstyle’s most extreme branch, where kick distortion is the instrument and titles like ‘Demons’ are a genre convention, not an edgy exception.

Why follow

Xtra raw’s establishment (the Krowdexx tier) got there through exactly this kind of relentless early output. ND4 is running the same playbook at the same pace, and the list below updates the moment the next single lands.

Every new ND4 release lands on the Hardstyle Release Radar the day it hits Spotify. The full tracked catalogue is listed above.
