Showtek
Showtek brothers Wouter and Sjoerd Janssen are called world
dominators leaving their mark
wherever they go. They are selling out big shows on all
continents, command the charts worldwide and work together with
top DJ's and producers from all corners of the EDM scene. With
their praised musical talent and distinctive sound they have
broken through all ceilings and just keep on rising to extreme
heights.
Their characteristic
productions, world acclaimed albums, award winnings and mind
blowing performances have gained them recognition as ambassadors
for the global EDM scene. In 2012 numbers came out that Showtek
was ranked #17 in the Top 20 of music export products of The
Netherlands. In Billboard Magazine they were rated as one of the
top 10 highlights for Electric Daisy Carnival 2011 (world's
biggest EDM event). Being elected by one of the most powerful
music magazines, while performing with names like; David Guetta,
Steve Angello, Tiësto and Steve Aoki is definitely an
achievement which shows that the Dutch brothers have reached the
top of the EDM scene.
Music
Since the launch of their first artist album 'Today is Tomorrow'
in 2007, Showtek has been unstoppable; Year after year they have
received awards on their music and performances and they even
were the first act, within their style, to deliver the world
famous "Essential Mix" for BBC Radio 1, with millions of
listeners. In the same year Showtek's music got featured on the
soundtrack of the international Hollywood blockbuster movie
called, 'Bruno', by Sacha Baron Cohen.
In the second
multi award winning album: 'Analogue Players in a Digital World'
was unveiled in 2009 at the prestigious 'Amsterdam Dance Event'
(ADE) and crossed genres in a way the scene had never
experienced before. In 2011 they start co-producing music with
an icon in EDM, that doesn't come any bigger then fellow Dutch
man, Tiësto. It shouldn't be a surprise that their first
official collaboration release was together with their new
powerful buddy and was released as Tiësto & Showtek - "Hell Yeah!",
which resulted in a worldwide top 10 hit.
A totally new concept called "Crazy Collabs" was born out of
this and raised new opportunities for the boys to collaborate
with DJ’s / Producers from all musical corners. The second
'Crazy Collab' is Hardwell & Showtek - "How We Do", which hit #1
on Beatport within a week after release. The accompanied video
clip got rated as “most viewed music video” on MTV USA in the
same week.
As a result of this tremendously successful story, the phone at
the 2-Dutch headquarters doesn’t stop ringing anymore. And some
of the major Dance labels have started throwing in offers to
release Showtek’s music.

Showtek sold out solo events for thousands of diehard fans and
curious spectators in every corner of the globe, from Asia and
Australia to Europe and all the way to their new home The United
