Dutch brothers Sjoerd and Wouter Janssen have, by their own admission, spent 2013 'going crazy with releases'. Crazy is right. They closed out 2012 with the massive single 'Cannonball', keeping up the pressure with 'Slow Down' for Steve Aoki's Dim Mak, 'Get Loose' for Skrillex's OWSLA imprint and the towering 'Booyah' for the Dutch titan Spinnin' Records.

“People fell in love [with the tracks] and we just didn't expect this major feedback,” says Sjoerd. “We're so happy with the enthusiasm. We thought 2013 would be a transition year, but this has been crazy. We had like 78 shows in the last two months. Mexico City was mindblowing.

We got 10,000 new fans on Facebook the next day.”Well, no pressure then. Oh hang on, that's loads of pressure. “We just wanted to show people what we are capable of, really add a signature to the sound,” he adds. Mission accomplished, then.
