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.

What's Wrong
W&W Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sick of always hearing
All those sad songs on the radio
All day it is there to remind
An over sensitive guy that he's lost and alone, yeah

I hate our favorite restaurant,
Our favorite movie, our favorite show
We would stay up all through the night

We would laugh and get high, and never answer the phone

I can't forgive, can't forget
Can't give in, what went wrong?
Cause you said this was right
You fucked up my life

I'm sick of always hearing
Sappy love songs on the radio
This place, it's fucking cursed and it's plagued
And I can never escape when my heart it explodes

I can't forgive, can't forget
Can't give in, what went wrong?
Cos you said this was right
You fucked up my life

I'm kicking out fiercely at the word around me
What went wrong?
I'm kicking out fiercely at the word around me
What went wrong?
I'm kicking out fiercely at the word around me
What went wrong?
I'm kicking out fiercely at the word around me

What went wrong?
I'm kicking

I'm sick of always hearing
I'm tired of constantly hearing

All those sad songs on the radio
Numerous melancholic songs playing on the airwaves

All day it is there to remind
Throughout the day, it serves as a reminder

An over sensitive guy that he's lost and alone, yeah
Of a emotionally fragile individual feeling lost and abandoned

I hate our favorite restaurant,
I despise the place we used to love going to

Our favorite movie, our favorite show
The films and TV series we cherished

We would stay up all through the night
We would spend sleepless nights

We would laugh and get high, and never answer the phone
We would laugh, get intoxicated, and ignore incoming calls

I can't forgive, can't forget
I'm unable to forgive or forget

Can't give in, what went wrong?
Refusing to surrender, questioning the cause of failure

Cause you said this was right
Because you once claimed this to be correct
