What a year it's been for Gunz For Hire. The duo, consisting of Thijs Ploegmakers (AKA Adaro) and Randy Wieland (AKA Ran-D), have seen their stock soar in recent times, particularly on the hardstyle scene where they're rightly spoken of as among the finest such DJs.

“It's been an amazing time,” they confirm. And by the sounds of it, they're not lying either. “We've had some really cool gigs recently, particularly the two Defqon 1 Festivals in Australia and Holland, Tomorrowland in Belgium and, of course, Tomorrowworld in Atlanta, USA.”

Their fans will be delighted to hear that they've been keeping busy on the production front too, with no less than four tracks ('The Massacre', 'Swagger', 'Bassdrum' and 'Inside My Mind') the latest sum of their hardstyle parts. “Making the top 100 means that we have a strong fan-base,” they tell us, “and that's something to be really proud of. So we want to say thanks to all you guys that voted for us.” In Gunz' words: “You are the resistance!”
