Showtek is a Dutch
electronic dance music act consisting of two brothers,
Sjoerd Janssen and
Wouter Janssen, who began producing music in 2001. Starting out with techno and subsequently moving to
hardstyle, they eventually worked in other EDM styles including progressive/electro house. In 2012, the Showtek brothers began a series of collaborations, a project called Crazy Collabs, with producers from some of the other genres in dance music. Before the official announcement of their collaboration, they co-produced an EP with
Tiësto and
Angger Dimas entitled "We Rock" as Boys Will Be Boys. On their project, they have worked with Tiësto, Hardwell, Justin Prime, Bassjackers, Ookay,
MAKJ and hardstyle duo Noisecontrollers. "Baldy & Cresty" are the cartoon
alter egos of the two brothers. Showtek also co-produced the upcoming single of
Chris Brown –
Nobody's Perfect which is produced by
Lukas Hilbert and co-produced by Showtek and David Jost. The Showtek brothers also have their own podcast, available through their website and iTunes. In December 2013, they founded their own label Skink Records, which is a sub-label of Spinnin' Records.
