Who is Showtek?

From hardstyle roots to crossover smashes — one of dance music’s great reinventions.

Showtek are the Dutch brothers Wouter and Sjoerd Janssen, who became one of the most successful crossover stories in dance music. Starting as pioneers of hardstyle in the 2000s, they reinvented themselves with a big-room and EDM sound that conquered festival main stages.

Their breakout “Cannonball” with Justin Prime, the worldwide smash “Booyah,” and “Bad” with David Guetta turned them into household names. Through their label Skink, they built a platform for their genre-spanning output, before returning to their hardstyle roots with a celebrated Qlimax headline set.

Showtek continue to tour festivals worldwide. Explore more electronic music artists in the full DJ directory, or visit their official site.

Showtek did the rarest thing in dance music — reinvented their whole sound and got bigger doing it.
