About Vasto
Vasto is a Dutch producer working the harder end of raw hardstyle, born Marvin de Groot. He combines bright, summer-leaning melodies with thunderous gated kicks and rolling breaks, a formula that has carried him from bedroom demos to some of the scene’s biggest stages.
Herman Brood Academy to APEX Records
De Groot studied music production at the Herman Brood Academy, the same Dutch conservatory that shaped acts like Devin Wild, and joined the APEX Records brotherhood in early 2020. Signing there gave him a home for a steady run of releases and a crew to build with, from collective tracks like ‘The Brotherhood’ to solo EPs.
Anthems and collaborations
His profile stepped up with ‘The Evasion’, the official Classified 2026 anthem he made with Revelation and Iris Goes, one of several festival-scale moments in his catalogue. He has worked with Chapter V on ‘Control’ and with Scarra on the ‘Bassline Breaker’ project, and pushed harder cuts like ‘Heavy Machinery’, ‘Bass In Your Face’, ‘Explosive’ and ‘Stand As One’. That work has taken him to Defqon.1, REBELLiON, Shockerz, Intents and EDC Mexico.
Delivering into 2026
Vasto has kept the pace into 2026 with releases like ‘You’re Welcome’, ‘Domination’ and ‘Supreme_Spoontechnicians’. On the raw side of the style he stands alongside names like Level One, Clockartz and Deluzion.
