Hardwell lists the Nexus as one of his top 3 favorite synthesizers. He uses two instances of this synth for the lead sound in his track "Apollo."

When asked how he can tell what songs will work well together in a mashup, Hardwell says:

"Most of the time when I'm creating a bootleg or a mashup, the idea just comes by itself. I'm using Mixed In Key to make a selection of all my tracks, and all the acapellas I have."

Responding to a question about what plugin he uses to give his sounds more power, Hardwell says he uses the Noveltech Character Plugin. This is from the Facebook Studio interview at Amsterdam Dance Event 2014. His reply is around 09:12 in the video: "To give my sound more power, I think definitely when it comes to synths, it’s really important how you EQ your synths. But one of my plugins that I basically always use on synths and baselines is from Noveltech, it’s called Character. Basically it just boosts the character of the sound itself. So your sound is getting more powerful, and it sounds so much better. There’s a lot of good presets in it, so you definitely need to check that plugin out."
