Bytheway, about Hardwell:
He's basically Tiësto the second. An it's no coincidence they both share the same place of birth.
To his credit, he did work very hard for it as did tiësto in the early years. When he made his rounds here at around 2007 he was a DJ of reasonable technical skill, providing quick and snappy hip-hop style mixes for a house scene that was rapidly getting dirtier and urbanised. It was also around the time that Chuckie, who was a household name in the urban scene here successfully made the crossover to house music and was instrumental in marrying the two scenes creating a massive new audience as well as an entryway in to the ever elusive American market, which Tiësto happily made use of with his sudden shift of style we saw at around that time. He was also responsible for picking up his fellow cityman in 2011, when they made de collaboration single zero 76 which went on to be his international breakthrough.
He was then asked to tour the US with Tiësto, and that was basically when things started to get to his head. As I witnessed him leaving the stage mid set, putting on a compilation CD for the baffled audience I was a part of. We went on to ask what happened and it turns out he just couldn't be bothered any more to entertain a crowd as small as this.
Ah yes, the ever bitter-sweet taste of stardom, I do hope he chokes in it.
