Through his refreshing sound that is characterized by complex drum ensembles, daring synths, and emotive chords, Hardwell has created the ultimate recipe for "Big Room House." His productions are received with such great praise and acclaim, it seems his shelf life is endless. As his reputation grows amongst the world's partygoers, so does his status. He was recently voted No. 6 in the 2012 edition of the DJ Mag Top 100, the most prestigious of industry competitions.

Hardwell and Dannic's remix for Example, "Say Nothing," received a No. 1 spot in the Cool Cut Chart, while Tiesto and Hardwell's remix for "Young Blood," by the indie rock band The Naked And Famous, became the festival circuit's summer anthem.
