Biography
Biography restored from existing DanceOnVibes content · Source verification required
Dutch duo Wardt van der Harst and Wllem van Hanegem — W&W — are the founders of Rave Culture and a defining big-room act, having crossed over from their trance origins in the early 2010s. Anthems like 'Bigfoot', 'The Code' and 'Rave Culture' soundtrack the world's biggest mainstages, and their weekly Mainstage Radio show is syndicated globally. They also run the NWYR live-act alias for harder, hardstyle-leaning sets.
