Hardwell is an award winning DJ producer, label manager, and was the DJMag Newcomer of the year, while only being 23 years old. He is from the same town as Tiesto in the Netherlands and ever since he became big he has worked with Dutch Godfather on tracks. Hardwell is most known for his remixes of songs, his most popular once being Show Me Love vs. Be. Hardwell just recently released a mixtape with 19 new remixes of the most popular electronic songs today. These songs have only been heard in his past sets and are all hits.

Hardwell will be performing at Ultra Music Festival March 24, 2012 and you can count on hearing all of these new songs along with more. He is known for his crazy style that makes the crowd go nuts, similar to Dada Life. You can count on his set being one of the most memorable ones of the weekend and if you cannot catch it first hand, EBB will have live footage from this set along with more for you to enjoy!
