With it has come a new multifarious trance sound that, globally, has begun to shatter underground clubs, arenas and festivals. Banding together under the name W&W has seen the collective careers of Wardt van der Harst & Willem Van Hanegem go into overdrive... As spinners they’ve delivered due damage to club nights and festivals and in 2009 their A-list-hammered track portfolio saw them conclusively tip the ‘next big thing’ scales. Now, in the new decade, W&W are ready to rule.

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.

W&W Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

밀려오는 소음 사이로 걸어 걸어
그 중에 네가 있을까 하고 걸어 걸어

공허한 마음 한구석 따뜻한 온도와 어떤 흔적과
내 걸음과 따라 솟아난 먼지와 같은 추억 다

네가 없는 나는 초라해진 나를
You don't know

You don't know about me

Oh baby 밥도 잘 먹고
보고싶지 않고 그래 oh 나는 이대로
너 아니라도 다른 누구라도 oh babe
더 사랑할 수 있단

말 말 말
내 혼잣말
Lie, lie, lie 모두 거짓말
Oh oh 문득 이럴 때
Oh oh 네가 없구나

차라리 내 맘을 꺼내지 말걸
너무 내 맘 같아 좀 성가신 건
이게 외로운 맘인지
너를 잃어 슬픈 건지
내 맘이 못된 건지

눈을 감아 다 보이지가 않아 난
슬픔은 검은색 알아 전부다
느낄 수가 없단 걸 전부 깨진 걸

네가 없는 나는 초라해진 나를
You don't know
You don't know about me

Oh baby 밥도 잘 먹고
보고싶지 않고 그래 oh 나는 이대로
너 아니라도 다른 누구라도 oh babe
더 사랑할 수 있단

말 말 말
내 혼잣말
Lie, lie, lie 모두 거짓말
Oh oh 문득 이럴 때
Oh oh 네가 없구나

하루하루가 내 머릿속에
네 온기와 느낌이 짙어지면
더 그리워 babe 날 무너뜨려
너의 숨이 될게 yeah

이렇게 너 그리워서
걸을 힘도 없고 그래 나는 이대로
널 그리워해 아무 이유 없어 그래
Oh 널 그리워한

I, I, I 내 혼잣말
Love you woo 보고싶은 너

Oh oh 문득 이럴 때
Oh oh 너는 없구나

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of W&W's song "The One" speak about the feeling of missing someone to the point where everything feels empty and meaningless without that person. The first verse describes walking through the noise and chaos of the world, wondering if the person the singer misses is out there somewhere. The singer then reflects on the emptiness in their heart and the warmth that they miss, as well as the memories that now feel like dust.

The chorus repeats the sentiment of feeling lonely and unworthy without the person they miss. However, the singer also acknowledges that they could still love someone else, even if it's not the same person they're missing. The second verse continues the theme of loneliness and describes the internal struggle the singer feels, questioning whether their feelings are a result of their own flaws or simply missing the other person. The bridge speaks about how the pain of missing someone only grows stronger with time, until the singer feels like they're falling apart without them.

Overall, "The One" is a song about the power of missing someone, a feeling that can consume a person's thoughts and emotions. The lyrics are honest and raw, tapping into the universal experience of heartbreak and loss.
