So happy we finally got into the studio together, we really complement each other very well, which you can definitely hear in the end result."

Lucas & Steve
Lucas & Steve have been around the block for years already, known as one of dance music's biggest tastemakers. Being responsible for quite some festival crowdpleasers the guys made it big with many festival and streaming hits, including last year's widely acclaimed single 'Where Have You Gone', turning into one of the duo's most favored tunes, counting over 32 million streams by now. 

Last year the guys also reached another peak with much praised performances at festivals all over the world, from Miami Music Week and their return to Tomorrowland's main stage to gigs at Mysteryland, touring in Asia and USA, and of course the Amsterdam Dance Event, where they also hosted their own soldout event Skyline Sessions. This year, this will be followed up by another much anticipated ADE show, while they guys will also return to Tomorrowland this summer!

In the meantime, they've kept on delivering party gems as steady as the clock. From club tracks like 'Source' and their 'Skyline Worldwide' EP to pop hits like 'I Could Be Wrong' (featuring R&B singer Brandy), ’Say Something’ and recent hit record ‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ with Armin van Buuren. 

Deepend
Deepend  is  synonymous  with  positive  vibes,  keeping  dance  floors  full  and  dance fans enthusiastic.  Led by Dutch DJ/producer Falco van den Aker, Deepend ensures its creations rise above the dance music  pool by creating a signature sound. His live shows do not disappoint either,  mesmerizing crowds from Ushuaïa and Pacha in Ibiza, Tomorrowland and Sziget, to nailing a 10-show supporting tour with David Guetta throughout Europe.

This led to several popular bootlegs and releases on labels like Ultra, Armada and of course Pias, where Deepend released 2015's breakthrough hit, the remix of 'Catch & Release' by Matt Simons.

Safe to say, this record made it to worldwide acclaim, charting  at  #1  across  Belgium,  Germany,  Portugal,  Spain  and  France, and by now reaching over 233 million Spotify plays, while the video has been streamed over 62 million times. So yeah, a sure shot remix, catapulting the Dutch act to infinite stardom, followed by a series of festival hits, including the Sam Feldt collab 'Runaways', 'Waiting For The Summer', 'Woke Up In Bangkok', 'To Rome' and remixes for the likes of Ava Max, James Blunt, Robin Schulz and JP Cooper.
