Mightyfools

Mightyfools, you must have heard of them. That crazy Dutch DJ-Duo that is praised by their positive high energy on stage, and their big room sound with heavy basslines. A couple of years ago the two made a quick welcome start in the global dance scene, quickly ganing airplay and massive support from DJ's worldwide which resulted in a jetset lifestyle of nonstop international touring. Reaching the Beatport charts with almost every track they released and flying all over the globe for performances made the years pass by, but not a single day left unnoticed.

Cosmic Kids

Cosmic Kids Ron Poznansky and Dan Terndrup didn’t meet in outer space as their DJ moniker may indicate, but the story is still equally as good. The two met in a high school classroom meant for kids who had trouble paying attention. They bonded over their love of classic rock.
