SHOWTEK have always been instigators of musical debauchery, the brothers that hit hard and clean.
Since their inception back in 2007, brothers Wouter and Sjoerd Janssen have been single handedly annihilating dancefloors and sound systems with their aggressive brand of hard dance music.
Their first album, 2007’s “Today is Tomorrow” launched the duo into the forefront of the hard dance scene, and cemented their status as the worlds best within the genre.
Relentless touring followed as the brothers continued to refine their sound and live show. Sellout appearances in the US, Holland and Europe began catching the attention of the worldwide EDM community, and it wasn’t long before SHOWTEK’S true brilliance was revealed.
The duo has been slammed with accolades from the word go.
Number one statuses on their tracks, albums and performances have SHOWTEK commanding the genre and ruling the pack. In fact, there are no current hard dance categories that Showtek has not dominated. And this success has driven the duo to push harder and to bring it bigger- to earn their place at the top each and every year.
A testament to their talent and commitment to dance music is the respect given them by the electronic music community at large. They are the only hard dance act to do the coveted “Essential Mix” for Radio 1. They are the only hard dance act to host their own stage at festivals like; Dance Valley (Netherlands), Electrocity (Poland) and Alpharave (Germany). And, they are the only hard dance act to sell out an American venue. Impressive.
With all the success, it wasn’t long before Hollywood came calling, and soon they had their music licensed to the mega comedy “Bruno.”
Very few artists in any genre ever reach this pinnacle of success, but for SHOWTEK, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
ON THE HORIZON
SHOWTEK will once again crush the boundaries of music when they release F**K the System on Ministry of Sound Oct 15, 10.
The compilation features cuts from the masters themselves (their remix of Marcel Woods “The Bottle”) along with tracks from; Headhunter, Dutchmaster, Lisa Lashes and Alex Kidd among others.
They have also partnered with Unlimited Productions (the tour production company behind Tiesto and Ferry Corsten) to take their extreme live show to the stadium level. Full production, a live singer and Insync visuals will undoubtedly catapult this already successful duo into superstardom.
