Their characteristic productions, world acclaimed albums, award winnings and mind blowing performances have gained them recognition as ambassadors for the global EDM scene. In 2012 numbers came out that Showtek was ranked #17 in the Top 20 of music export products of The Netherlands. In Billboard Magazine they were rated as one of the top 10 highlights for Electric Daisy Carnival 2011 (world's biggest EDM event). Being elected by one of the most powerful music magazines, while performing with names like; David Guetta, Steve Angello, Tiësto and Steve Aoki is definitely an achievement which shows that the Dutch brothers have reached the top of the EDM scene.
Music
Since the launch of their first artist album 'Today is Tomorrow' in 2007, Showtek has been unstoppable; Year after year they have received awards on their music and performances and they even were the first act, within their style, to deliver the world famous "Essential Mix" for BBC Radio 1, with millions of listeners. In the same year Showtek's music got featured on the soundtrack of the international Hollywood blockbuster movie called, 'Bruno', by Sacha Baron Cohen.
The second multi award winning album: 'Analogue Players in a Digital World' was unveiled in 2009 at the prestigious 'Amsterdam Dance Event' (ADE) and crossed genres in a way the scene had never experienced before. In 2011 they start co-producing music with an icon in EDM, that doesn't come any bigger then fellow Dutch man, Tiësto. It shouldn't be a surprise that their first official collaboration release was together with their new powerful buddy and was released as Tiësto & Showtek - "Hell Yeah!", which resulted in a worldwide top 10 hit.
A totally new concept called "Crazy Collabs" was born out of this and raised new opportunities for the boys to collaborate with DJ’s / Producers from all musical corners. The second 'Crazy Collab' is Hardwell & Showtek - "How We Do", which hit #1 on Beatport within a week after release. The accompanied video clip got rated as “most viewed music video” on MTV USA in the same week.
As a result of this tremendously successful story, the phone at the 2-Dutch headquarters doesn’t stop ringing anymore. And some of the major Dance labels have started throwing in offers to release Showtek’s music.
Performances
Showtek sold out solo events for thousands of diehard fans and curious spectators in every corner of the globe, from Asia and Australia to Europe and all the way to their new home The United States of America. They hosted stages on world famous festivals such as, Dance Valley (UDC) and ID&T/Q-Dance. In summer 2012 world's biggest concert organization 'Live Nation' snapped up Showtek for a 6 week 'Rock & Roll' bus tour, which brought Showtek to each corner in the states delivering show after show for tens of thousands excited clubbers.
Watching and hearing Showtek is a joy to behold. Showtek's stunning live-shows, devastating DJ sets, and massive productions, have led to much deserved world domination. And they only have just begun.

I send this no money no love no money no love
In case you wanna hear it again
It's no money no love no money no love
I'm sure you love me now
What's the world is my favor
Watch me while I disappear
I get my heart scarred
From all my sins
Was my payback to never feel all again
Do you see the scars bruising my skin
Oh I wish I could erase them and start all over again
Maybe I should get down on my knees and I'll still be forgiven
For what I've done
Born in this world
I say it's No Money No Love
No Money No Love
Yeah yeah yeah
In case you will no hear it again
It's No Money No Love
No Money No Love
Yeah yeah yeah
It's sure you love me now as the world is in my favor
Watch me while I disappear
No Money No Love
Vodoo I call when the world is closing in
Is it too late for me to be death
I give my last to be loved again
I cross my arms and clap for night
Can you say this dealer, have some mercy
Maybe I should get down on my knees and I'll still be forgiven
For what I've done
Born in this world
I say it's No Money No Love
No Money No Love

It's No Money No Love
No Money No Love

It's sure you love me now as the world is in my favor
Watch me while I disappear

No Money No Love
The lyrics of Showtek's "No Money No Love" explore themes of struggle, redemption, and the importance of love and forgiveness in a world driven by materialism.
In the first verse, the singer acknowledges their origins in a world where money and love seem to be intertwined. The repetition of "no money no love" emphasizes the idea that the two are inseparable. It reflects the belief that love and affection may be difficult or impossible to obtain without financial stability. By repeating this phrase, the singer emphasizes the challenges they face in a society where money seems to dictate the availability of love and happiness.
The second verse delves deeper into the personal experiences of the singer. They express how they have been hurt and scarred emotionally, possibly as a result of past mistakes or sins. The scars serve as reminders of their past actions and the consequences they had to face. The desire to erase these scars and start afresh highlights the longing for a fresh beginning, free from the burdens of the past. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have sought forgiveness, even going as far as getting down on their knees, in an attempt to find redemption and be forgiven for their past actions.
The chorus repeats the phrase "No Money No Love," reinforcing the message that without money, love and acceptance may be difficult to attain. This repetition serves to emphasize the theme and make a strong statement about the world's obsession with material wealth.
The final verse introduces the concept of voodoo, symbolized as a last resort to escape the circumstances surrounding the singer. They feel trapped and seek an escape from the world's pressures, contemplating whether it's too late for them to be free or to find love again. The line "I give my last to be loved again" expresses the longing for affection and the willingness to give everything in return for it. The mention of a dealer and a plea for mercy imply that the singer may have turned to questionable means to find love or escape their hardships.
Overall, the lyrics of "No Money No Love" convey a sense of struggle, regret, and the desire for love and acceptance. Despite the challenges posed by a materialistic world, the singer yearns for forgiveness, a fresh start, and genuine love that transcends financial constraints.

Born in this world and
I came into this world with nothing
I send this no money no love no money no love
I keep experiencing a lack of money and love
In case you wanna hear it again
In case you need to be reminded
It's no money no love no money no love
The absence of money leads to the absence of love
I'm sure you love me now
Now that I have some success
What's the world is my favor
The world is on my side
Watch me while I disappear
Witness my eventual downfall
No money no love
Without money, there is no love
I get my heart scarred
I have been deeply hurt
From all my sins
Due to the mistakes I've made
Was my payback to never feel all again
It was my punishment to never experience love again
Do you see the scars bruising my skin
Can you observe the evidence of my pain
Oh I wish I could erase them and start all over again
I yearn to eliminate the wounds and begin anew
Maybe I should get down on my knees and I'll still be forgiven
Perhaps if I humble myself, I could be absolved of my transgressions
For what I've done
For the mistakes I've made
Vodoo I call when the world is closing in
I resort to desperate measures when I feel trapped
Is it too late for me to be death
Is there still a chance for me to find love
I give my last to be loved again
I'm willing to sacrifice everything just to experience love once more
I cross my arms and clap for night
I try to find solace in darkness and solitude
Can you say this dealer, have some mercy
Will you request compassion from this 'dealer' of fate
No Money No Love
Without money, there can be no love
It's sure you love me now as the world is in my favor
It's certain that you love me now as I have the world on my side
Watch me while I disappear
Observe my imminent disappearance and downfall
No Money No Love
Without money, there is no love
