Issue 041

With this Album it feels like you keep
re-inventing yourself. Tell us the
process making this album? How do
you guys keep being so original yet so
innovative?
It’s always been a journey for us , following our
heart and passion. We always want to be and feel free to
express ourselves and explore new sounds and genres.
If it gets too repetitive it gets boring and hard to enthuse
yourself and the fans. So being in the studio without any
expectations and or barriers creates the most unique music.
Producing wise we keep coming back to either hardstyle , edm
and big room or more pop driven and reggae inspired music.
We have always been blending sounds and will just keep doing
that more and more. It’s refreshing for us and hopefully the
listeners.
We feel we keep it interesting if we constantly explore
and try out things, that’s how you learn and get to innovative
ideas and approaches. We keep putting everything we have
learned, heard and seen back into the music, to constantly
evolve and keeping moving it forward.
How was it to be back at climax at
being your first public appearance?
A euphoric and sort of emotional homecoming. Better
then expected even ! Playing dears hardstyle and legends at
Qlimax along ‘ xtc’ and ‘ spaceman’ was great on stage but the
feedback afterwards even more amazing.
Do we dare to ask. But what can fans
expect from you at PAROOKAVILLE this
year?
A showcase of our new music off course! And some
unreleased music if we get to finish it.
For those people that do not know
you. What three of your tracks would
you recommend to people to get to
know Showtek better?
fts, bad and booyah are our staple tracks. So people
probably already know these tracks. We would say ‘ Electronic
Stereophonic’, ‘ on our own’ ‘ burn’ are our hidden gems .
This year we saw you traveling allover
the world. What would you say was
your most memorable moment that will
stick with you?
We just did a Showtek 360 blue premier in Sydney for
9500 showtek fans . It was incredible. A huge venue packed
with fans from all ages. New and old, such an amazing
experience.
We appreciate taking time for this
interview and we know you are busy!
Let's wrap this up with a question.
What artist you haven't worked with
yet would you like to work with and
why?
We would love to work with Coldplay on a
collaboration. Huge fans !!
