Between Ultra, WMC, and Coachella, we heard it dozens of time by all kinds of different DJs. That song took the EDM world by storm and was seemingly around every corner. TMN: Speaking of tremendous success.”Cannonball”. She didn’t really notice! The fact that our parents got divorced brought us more together. Our dad would never allow us to do that, but we took advantage of our mum who worked all day to feed four kids. We always worked until 4 in the morning, freaking on beats and stuff. After the divorce we both skipped a lot of classes at school, and Sjoerd was even kicked out three times because he always skipped the first few hours. He is really proud now, but if our parents stayed together our career might have never happened. Showtek: Well our father has only seen us twice on stage, once at Sensation and once a local festival near his house. TMN: Were your musical aspirations something your parents encouraged growing up? How do they feel about you guys being together all the time doing what you love, and experiencing tremendous success while doing it? We never really argue about producing or DJing. Lots of melodies are created on the piano at home, and from there we start making most of our music. He also plays guitar, so he is definitely the musical Mozart out of the two of us. Showtek: Wouter played piano when he was a teenager and still does. TMN: Did you start off by learning traditional instruments? Did you guys have sibling arguments over who got to play what? We love DJing and traveling the world, don’t get us wrong, but it started with producing music. We were asked to play in a club in our hometown as residents DJs, and from there on we started to really DJ. So within a year our name started to grow in our own country and some parts of Europe. We reached the charts in Belgium and our tracks were played by other big DJs. When we released our music in 2001, we immediately scored.

We had no background in music, no schooling, no one who taught us how to work music programs, we just discovered everything by ourselves. When our parents got divorced we needed a way to express ourselves! We hooked up as a team and locked ourselves up in our little room and just made music, straight from the heart. We both loved music when we were young – Wouter played piano and Sjoerd worked on beats on his computer. Showtek: We never had the dream of becoming DJs, it really just happened, but not out of the blue of course. How did you both decide that you wanted to play music together? Thank you so much for taking a few moments to sit down with us and for taking over TMN for the month of August! Let’s start off talking about you guys as brothers.

Lastly, the pregame track is to be used as a warm-up for partying.Īny artist who loves sushi is good in my book. The road trip essential is a tune that they enjoy listening to while traveling. The favorite chill-out song demonstrates their balanced taste with something mellow. Best new talent features a promising emerging artist. The secret weapon is a jaw-dropping track only to be used to stun the crowd at the most opportune moments. The future classic track is a tune they believe will be continued to be played long after its initial success.
