Mid 2010, Thom Jongkind - then operating by the name of Scalix - decided to set up a DJ duo named Blasterjaxx together with another producer at the time. Thom quickly noticed that huge steps were taken in the field of productions and that the range towards their audience was constantly increasing. Nevertheless, the personal chemistry between both producers started decreasing. Thus, it was Thom who focused more and more on music, while the other producer started having other priorities. Shortly after, they mutually agreed on ending their collaboration as a duo and decided that Thom would continue with the Blasterjaxx label.
Because Thom believed that Blasterjaxx would only be complete as a duo, he started looking for possibilities of a new, and this time around, perfect collaboration. In the meantime, Thom had been charmed by Idir Makhlaf for a while, who at the time was operating by the name of Macosta. Only after a few collaborations it was already clear how well they hit off; a new Blasterjaxx duo was born with - what subsequently appeared - an unparalleled amount of talent and potential. Together they plan on taking over the world with their unique sound, which is best described as a crossover between electro-house, big room and latin.
Their producing talents did not stay unnoticed. Due to diverse high listings in charts they got many fans, both home and abroad, in a short period of time. Their success kept on growing from the very beginning, especially on production-level and in the field of releases and artist support. This all resulted in various high listings on different music platforms in 2010, as well as their tracks being released by leading music labels, including: Defected Records, Universal, Dirty Dutch and G-Rex. In terms of support they were able to rely on prominent names such as: Sidney Samson, Gregor Salto, Franky Rizardo, Vato Gonzalez and many others.
Another clever entrant in 2011 was their bootleg of the worldwide hit Hello. This unofficial remix has, once again, received support from both domestic and international circuits and has been downloaded and listened to for over a million times in total.
In 2012, Blasterjaxx was able to show their true nature and proved to be everything but an ephemera. Together with D-Rashid they produced the Reborn EP with two tracks: Reborn and Where We Go. An EP-name with a story behind it, for this EP is in fact symbolic for Blasterjaxx’ renewed sound, which they want to introduce and conquer the worldwide audience with. A rebirth that eventually turned out to be a bombshell, because none other than Laidback Luke was eager to sign the tracks at his own label: Mixmash Records. It was only clear how much damage the tracks would be dealing after they were released in December. Where We Go reached #98 in the Beatport Electro Charts Top 100 after only one day, and after only one week, both tracks respectively reached #14 (Where We Go) and #16 (Reborn). The EP even took first place in the Beatport Top 100 Releases! A huge success complemented by the support of magnitudes like: Tiësto, Laidback Luke, Diplo, Steve Aoki, Dada Life, Robbie Rivera and more!
Despite numerous hits, releases and novelties, this is yet the beginning of Blasterjaxx. The right question to ask is not if they will break through, but when they will break through! Keep ears and eyes open people, because Blasterjaxx is the future!

BlasterJaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So hold the fort, hold it down
Til the coast is clear
I don’t wanna hear your cry
Or I’ll come down blazing
Take a night for a night
I'll be your soldier my love
I'll be your soldier my love, my love
My love i'll be your soldier my love
I'll be your sol
Trying to find a way out, out of here
So hold the fort, hold it down
'Til the coast is clear
I don’t wanna hear your cry
Or I’ll come down blazing
Take a night for a night
I'll be your soldier my love
So let the battle begin
I'll be your soldier my love
I'll be your sol
The lyrics to Blasterjaxx & Breathe Carolina's song Soldier depict a relationship in turmoil. The singer is trying to find a way out of a difficult situation and needs their partner to hold down the fort in their absence. They warn their partner that if they cry, they will come down blazing, indicating a sense of anger and frustration in the relationship. Despite the turmoil, the singer declares their love and willingness to fight for their partner, stating that they will be their soldier and face any battles that come their way.
The metaphor of a soldier is used throughout the song to represent the singer's commitment to their partner, even in difficult circumstances. The lyrics suggest that the relationship may be under attack from external forces, hence the need for a soldier to fight back. It is unclear what the specific conflict is, leaving room for interpretation by the listener.

Trying to find a way out, out of here
I am desperately searching for an escape from this place
So hold the fort, hold it down
Stay strong and steadfast, don't give up
Til the coast is clear
Wait until it's safe to move forward
I don’t wanna hear your cry
I don't want to hear your complaints or excuses
Or I’ll come down blazing
If you push me too far, I'll retaliate fiercely
Take a night for a night
Seek revenge for any harm done to me
I'll be your soldier my love
I will fight for you endlessly, my beloved
So let the battle begin
We are in for a tough fight, get ready
I'll be your soldier my love, my love
I am deeply and madly in love with you, and will fight for you
I'll be your soldier my love
I am committed to protecting and defending you, no matter what
