Dutch DJ Hardwell (born Robbert van de Corput) is a major player on the worldwide EDM concert scene. As a matter of fact, the self-taught progressive and electro house DJ/music producer earned the 2013 title of world’s No. 1 DJ from DJ Magazine, the same night DJ powerhouse Tiesto received the Top 100 DJs Legend Award. (Tiesto and Hardwell both hail from the Dutch town of Breda.) Hardwell joined forces with Tiesto for their debut collaboration, the 2010 single “Zero 76”, as well as a North American tour that hit venues in nearly a dozen markets. In the years since, Hardwell has DJed electrifying shows for ticket holders worldwide. Hardwell’s discography includes dozens of remixes and mashups featuring artists like Avicii (“Levels”), Dada Life (“Fight Club Is Closed”), Rihanna (“Where Have You Been”) and The Wanted (“Chasing the Sun”). For his most recent single “Dare You”, Hardwell worked alongside New York singer/songwriter Matthew Koma. The vocal club anthem marks the first time an artist has premiered music via the Shazam app.
