THE BROTHERS S MASTERS OF TH
In music, sometimes it takes a good team to produce a great result, whether it is a team of two or a mafia of three. Thus, it’s hard to deny a team better than that of actual brothers Sjoerd and Wouter Janssen; better known as Showtek, who’s studio chemistry is hard to match.
