Headhunterz
The Dutch hardstyle icon who took the genre worldwide — euphoric, melodic and relentless, and co-founder of Art of Creation.
Who is Headhunterz?
The full story of Headhunterz's rise, sound and signature catalogue.
Headhunterz — born Willem Rebergen in Veenendaal, Netherlands — is one of the most influential hardstyle artists of all time. After winning the Defqon.1 DJ contest in 2004, he became the face of euphoric, melodic hardstyle with anthems that defined a generation of ravers.
He pushed hardstyle onto bigger stages, briefly crossing into mainstream EDM in the mid-2010s after signing with Ultra Music, before making a celebrated return to his hardstyle roots at Defqon.1 in 2017. He runs the Hard with Style platform and co-founded the Art of Creation label with Wildstylez.
His Project One alias with Wildstylez remains a fan favorite, and Headhunterz continues to produce and headline hardstyle events. Explore more artists in the DJ directory, or read more on Headhunterz's Wikipedia page.
