Showtek

The Eindhoven based act existing of the brothers Wouter (1982) and Sjoerd Janssen (1984) form the Dutch hardstyle formation Showtek. After their first release "Save the Day", which scored more than twenty compilations CDs, they immediately established their name in the Dutch dance scene. Their follow up "Controller" turned out to be one of everyone’s favourite hardstyle track, and Showtek became more and more popular in The Netherlands and in other countries. Later they released their records in co-operation with ID&T. This was a step forwards in the career for the two guys. So in March 2003 their record "Seid Ihr Bereid" was released on the Q-Dance/ID&T label. Again a pounding track which is on every DJ’s playlist. The two brothers are booked on big events and clubs all over the Netherlands (Sensation Black, Shockers, Qlubtempo, Hardbass Extreme, Loudness, Qlimax, Xxlerator), and they have a monthly residency in their hometown, which is a great success. But they are not only spinning records... They also have a blasting live act. Their latest track is "Puta Madre" in 2006. They recently cooperated with Gizmo and released "3 The Hard Way", and created "Rockin Steady" with Deepack. Besides their great teamwork as Showtek, they also have their own solo projects. The youngest brother, DJ Duro produced his first record "Again". After this track he released one of the most successful hardstyle records of the year 2003 called "Just Begun" (Scantraxx). Played by every Hardstyle DJ in Europe. Other hits from Duro include a collabaration with DJ Zany called "Our Power", and tracks produced with The Prophet, "Shizzle The Remix" and "Cocaine Mother Fucker", and a handful of remixes. The oldest brother Walt, is a full time producer since December 2001 and in a short time he developed into an all-round producer with an international sound. His first solo tracks Exciter and Contact were released on the German "Blutonium" label. Later he produced the record called "Endless" together with Pascal Feliz. This track was a real success and was released in Holland, Germany and Belgium. In February 2003 Walt’s solo project, was released on the Carnal/Purple Eye Label. Other projects of Walt are Southstylers (together with DJ Zany) with hits as "Wroaw", "Wicked Generation" and "Diz Tortion", Methods of Mayhem (together with Marcel Woods), and Woody Rivers.
