After hitting the world with their 360 Yellow album back in November which is more house and big room focused, Showtek has returned to their hardstyle roots with the release of their colossal new album, 360 Blue.
The brotherly duo started their careers as hardstyle heavyweights two decades ago and it is what catapulted them into the spotlight of electronic dance music. After taking a 12 year break from the genre, Showtek decided the timing was just right to make the triumphant return to the scene they love so deeply.
“After producing a variety of genres over the last 20 years, we felt it was time to bundle each genre into its own primary colour in the ‘360’ project. ‘360’ tells and captures our story of being more of an all-round act, having toured around the globe multiple times, and showing our love, passion, dedication, and appreciation for all the genres in the electronic music space. Being a DJ allows you to touch base with many different cultures worldwide; it’s hard to just stick to one thing or genre. As a human you grow, you develop, you broaden your horizon, or just look at things differently. It’s important to transcend that into your music as well. Different music is made for different moments, and scenarios. Festivals, clubs, venues, sports stadiums, radio, beach, road trips, etc,” Showtek explains.
“We aim to showcase the wide range of passion for different styles under one umbrella. This has been very challenging, but we feel that with the 3-part ‘360’ concept, we can give each genre its own identity and still be Showtek. We had hits like ‘Booyah’, ‘Bad’ with David Guetta, and ‘Believer’ with Major Lazer, in the big room sound, with ‘FTS’, ‘World Is Mine’ and the ‘Ftrack’ still being fan favourites in the hardstyle scene, we are proud that these songs have become staple in each genre, and are still being played every day worldwide, by fans, listeners, and DJs. Moving forward, and looking forward we are eager to grow and expand, and compartmentalize each sound to make sure every sound has the Showtek signature.”
