W&W Productions: With tracks like ‘Ensure’, ‘Show my Shuffle’, ‘Origin’ & ‘Stab My Speaker’, Willem and Wardt initially started out producing their own respective floor-thrillers. The serendipitous Trance Energy meet quickly bore their debut W&W production though, which came in the form of the mighty ‘Mustang’. ‘Dome’ & ‘Arena’ (which featured on the Armin Only DVD) followed up its freshman success and fast found the CDJs of trance luminaries like Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Sander Van Doorn & Judge Jules. Tipped by Armin van Buuren as “the best up-and-coming production duo out there”, W&W have continued to rock federation trance to its core with ‘Mainstage’, the Sean Tyas-remixed ‘D.N.A’ and their Ummet Ozcan collaboration ‘Synergy’ each bringing floors to critical mass. Remix-side, their voracious rewires have proved equally as popular - most notably on Armin’s ‘Rain’, ‘Remedy’ (by UK pop starlet Little Boots) and those of Sander van Doorn, Leon Bolier, Sied van Riel, & others.
DJs: Almost a year to the day since Willem & Wardt first shook hands they were on hand to witness Sander van Doorn spinning the furiously phat beats and compressed melodies of ‘Mustang’ at Trance Energy. Galvanised by its floor-response (and defining their sounds as “big room trance with a techy edge”), they, themselves quickly took up the spinning mantle. That route has taken them to some of the most respected nights out there. Ones that have come to include Poland’s Sunrise Festival, the A State Of Trance 400 gigs and a spot playing alongside Tiësto at his massive stadium gig in Kiev. Just two years further down the road from their first gigs together, with Trance Energy 2010 fast approaching the pair are ready to play one of the biggest events in the dance music calendar....
The Mainstage Radio Show: Now a regular standing fixture in the trance enthusiasts listening schedule, W&W’s Mainstage radio show exports their diverse sound around the world on a monthly basis. Broadcasting on the renowned Afterhours FM (one of the world’s five most popular trance-based websites), in January of 2010 it was revamped & relaunched with a host of new elements (including regular competitions, features and interviews). Mainstage goes on Afterhours.FM on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month between 18.00 and 19.00 hours CET.

It has the same problem as every modern dance music. The beginning is great and the lead is top notch, its simple yet catchy and its just like how a dance song is supposed to be.
However, in my opinion, after the drop it gets shit like every modern dance music. Here's why:
For a couple of years now, DJs are using disorted Kick Drums as an excuse for a proper bassline in their songs.It doesn't sound good and it adds nothing to the melody itself. It has absolutely no rhythm. For me, a bassline is supposed to accompany the main melody, which is not the case in modern electronic dance music, its just there and loud, but nothing nore.
For better understanding, I downloaded FL Studio and a FLP on YouTube, I then added a bassline with a offbeat bass, hi hats, some pads and snare claps and I think the song becomes dramatically better. Like, a whole new song better. Please don't mind the quality, which is of course, lower than the original one, since not much EQing was done, but you will get the idea if you listen to it.
This is how modern electronic dance music drops should sound like:
