I AM Hardwell Documentary Page #2

One of my favorites is my remix of

Show Me Love by Robin S.

It was the first track of mine

that all the big DJs played.

That's when I realized:

I can totally do this.

Once again London let me see you

jump up and down. Let's go!

I had an identity crisis...

when Hardwell was

in the slipstream of commercial music.

And Robbed wasn't happy with it.

I want to make music that rocks me.

But Hardwell wanted to keep playing

more than anything.

On the other hand, I also knew

I was developing a new sound.

It wasn't popular at all then.

It hadn't caught on yet.

I was turning into a DJ

who adapts to his audience 100%.

But I wanted to create an artist

with his own music and identity.

It was a tough time.

Lots of bookings were cancelled.

They were like:
What is Hardwell doing

playing that stuff'?

Once I really began to do

my own thing as Hardwell...

Tisto was one of the first

to pick it up.

To me that was a confirmation

that I was doing the right thing.

From then on it just got

bigger and bigger.

This is a special track.

I made it together with a special guy

from my hometown, Breda.

This is DJ Hardwell.

A brand new talent.

He's gonna be huge.

This is Zero 76.

How is your concert going?

- Fine.

We did all the preparations this week.

We checked everything out, the stage

and the set-up. It looks great.

Several people have asked me

when it's going down.

So that's great.

- At long last.

And in the Netherlands. That's cool.

It's the biggest thing

we've done so far.

Will there be any guest performers?

- No, it's my own thing.

That's intense.

You'll have to be really fit.

Definitely.

It's part of the preparations.

The thing that Robbert and Hardwell

have most in common...

is that they get really stuck in

and go for it.

Both Robbed and Hardwell have

a strong drive to do what they love.

This is my secret weapon

for today, Anna.

It's wicked.

Rock it. They'll want to

kill themselves. I swear.

When Amba sings you don't want

astronauts entering the room.

I agree. We can wait for 1,5 hours...

We don't want the astronauts

in the audience.

Link them up with Spaceman.

Take into account

that the doors open at 9.

So we should drop the curtain by 8

and finish the rehearsal by 7.

That'll give us 30 minutes

to make adjustments.

I'm not sure.

-30 minutes is very long.

30 minutes will fly by.

Go to the bathroom, get a drink...

We do 10 huge shows per year.

It's got to be good.

The whole world will watch.

It's got to be perfect.

But Robbert:
needs his freedom.

Is that what you want'?

Like I said:
I want clear,

fixed lines. It's got to be clear.

These are visuals.

We can determine that.
