Becoming one of the most sought-after duos the world of dance music has to offer, W&W are best known for their dynamic DJ sets – packed with raw intensity – and the energy of the powerful production prowess they flex with every release fresh from their studio. Crafting a unique signature sound, their productions have been championed by the likes of Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, David Guetta and many more, rising as high as number #18 in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll.
Continually performing at leading festivals across all corners of the globe, such as Tomorrowland and EDC, the debut of the hugely exciting live-stream is certainly not the first time the Dutch duo have paired up with ALDA, after performing a truly iconic set at AMF 2019, when the pair helped own the night during a sensational b2b performance alongside Timmy Trumpet.
