Showtek Crazy Collaborations Reign Supreme



There must be something in the water over in the Netherlands.  Showtek, like many other Dutch phenoms including Tiesto, Marcel Woods and Hardwell are all rising to the top of the EDM charts and it sure isn’t lonely up there.  Showtek consists of two brothers; Sjoerd and Wouter Janssen and they started producing music in 2001.  Since, Showtek has been on the leading edge of producing hard, edgy dance tracks and their new project entitled Crazy Collabs definitely lives up to its name. Crazy Collabs presents a series of collaborations by Showtek and various producers from all different types of genres going beyond putting music under a specific label or category. Their first Crazy Collab with TiĆ«sto “Hell Yeah!” rose to the top of the Beatport Top 10 charts and has been heard in DJ sets around the world since. 



Showtek’s second Crazy Collaboration with Hardwell has also dominated the charts since its release.  Entitled “How We Do,” the track is filled with Hardwell’s heartfealt synths and Showtek’s raw chords throughout which make for one ultimate dance anthem. Showtek has a bunch of other collaborations lined up including Bassjackers, Noisecontrollers and have been in talks with OWSLA, Skrillex’s label.  Crazy Collabs is all about expanding the boundaries and going outside the box.  From these collaborations one can see Showtek’s passion and hopefully more producers follow suit.
