The Siberian

The Siberian (Angel Isnardo Iglesias from Barcelona) treats hardstyle as film music with a kick drum. Where most producers chase the next drop, he builds worlds: orchestral scores, narrative arcs and characters, released under an artist name his friends shorten to ‘Sib’.

From bedroom tutorials to a concept universe

The youngest of four brothers (one a former DJ, another in a band), he started DJing in 2015 and taught himself production through online tutorials, releasing a first track in 2016. After a hiatus, Headhunterz’s return to the genre pulled him back in 2018, and hardstyle became the primary canvas. The defining output of that recommitment is A Fox’s Journey, a multimedia concept project whose first chapter, ‘Out of My Mind’, runs 14 tracks mixing hardstyle with fully orchestral compositions, an unusually ambitious format for an independent artist in this scene. Headhunterz fans will recognize the lineage: emotion first, spectacle second.

The 2026 run

His recent releases arrive via DENAR RCRDS: ‘Arise’ in April 2026, a remix of Deathblade’s ‘Fever’ in May, and ‘Whispers’ with ALTO and Sad in June: three tracks that keep the cinematic fingerprint while sharpening the euphoric edge for the dancefloor.

Why he matters

Spain is not hardstyle’s heartland, and that distance shows up as freedom: The Siberian’s orchestral instincts owe nothing to Dutch formula. For listeners who want the genre’s weight with a composer’s sense of drama, this catalogue is one of the more distinctive ones being built right now.

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