W&W return to their London home of Ministry of Sound this February for a bombastic night of big-room bangers. The Dutch DJ and production duo have transcended the boundaries of genre and traveled the world with their iconic live performances.
W&W are known for combining the uplifting and melodic elements of Trance with the raw intensity of Electro and Progressive House, creating a unique and rebellious sound that is all their own.
MoS: Where are you both in the world right now?
W&W: We are in Portugal right now, where we live. We’ve been living here for quite some time now and have to say that it’s a really nice place!
What was the last club you both played at and which country was it in?
The last club we played was Temple in Denver, Colorado.
How did you both meet and come up with the name W&W?
We met at Trance Energy back in 2007 and became friends. At one point we decided we wanted to make music together and our first project file was named 'W&W - new music v1' or something, because both of our names start with a 'W'. We sent that song to Armin and he played it on ASOT and by then it was too late to change the name haha.
You've worked with some of the biggest names in dance music including Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Armin van Buuren. Who did you enjoy collaborating with the most, and why?
Everybody that we ever worked with has been great in one way or another. We always learn from it, sometimes in music, sometimes in the way they look at a song, etc. We can’t choose just one as we genuinely like working with everyone!
When you've performed at Ministry of Sound in the past were there any tracks back then that you still play now?
Probably "Bigfoot", we still play that one quite often.
You’ve played different venues and spaces all around the world but what do you prefer playing at, festivals or clubs and why?
When you play a lot of clubs (like lately, and mostly in the winter) you really miss festivals, and then in the summer, when you play all the festivals, you miss clubs.
Finally... What can you promise fans ahead of your set on Friday 4th February?
A crazy energetic night, with lots of new music, good vibes. It’s been a while since we played in London because of the pandemic, and we can’t wait to be back and make up for all the missed parties!
