Interview

HARDWELL

2011 was a phenomenal year for you pick a few highlights?

Working together with Tiesto, being #24 in the DJ Mag list, several big tours abroad and my first Revealed Label night.

You played the Creamfields main-stage this year, tell us about that?

Yes 2011 was the first time mainstage for me, it was a total madness and the party was awesome. The crowd in the Uk always parties hard and I love that!

And you played the amazing Sensation in 2011, that must have been amazing?

Yeah, that was phenomenal!

At 23 you are already no. 24 in DJ Magazine top 100 DJs what is your secret ?

There is no secret.. it’s all by dedication and big love for music.

You toured a lot with Tiesto last year, how was that?

It was a big honour to go on tour with world’s greatest DJ. I learned a lot from him and it was a great experience for me.

And you’ve been working in the studio with Tiesto?

Yes that’s right we did track zero76, which was #1 on Itunes and Beatport. There is also a lot more coming.

Any other big names you’d like to work alongside?

Avicii, I would love to work with him.

You seem to constantly be in the Beatport Top Ten with your releases, do you have a specific formula that works?

No, there is no formula. It just happens and I’m happy, so many people like my music.

Your production output is really high, why is that important?

It’s a good thing to keep your sets fresh and new, because of that it’s important to keep producing and keep the people interested and want to come to your gigs.

Can we expect an album in 2012?

No, not in a short period of time. That’s really something for the future.

You’ve had phenomenal success for one so young, what advice would you give to other producers/DJs trying to break into the scene?

Be dedicated and original and keep on making tracks.

The Dutch are taking over the dance music scene yet again, what makes the Dutch so incredibly talented when it comes to the electronic scene?

In Holland there are so many parties, so for DJ’s there are a lot of ways to get some experience and to grow.

What can we expect from your set?

You can expect a lot of new tracks and one big crazy madness.
