In the past few years, we've seen a rise of Dutch DJs and producers make waves in the EDM scene... most recently, Holland based duo: Firebeatz. Steering away from "dirty dutch," Tim and Jurre have found their niche somewhere between house and tech house. Whatever it is, we love it! So much so, in fact, that we decided to get in touch with them and ask some questions to this up-and-coming duo. They were awesome enough to do an interview Here it is:

D x E: We have all come to love Firebeatz's unique, groovy-techy. What would you call that and how has it progressed since you started producing?

Firebeatz: Actually, we don't really put a label on our sound, as long as it has groove and FIRE in the beats it's fine with us

D x E: How did you guys meet?

Firebeatz: We met each other at the School of Arts in Tilburg, the Netherlands. We started to make some music together and we instantly discovered our musical chemistry.

D x E: How is it collaborating on tunes and live sets?

Firebeatz: It's really great! While producing we can both work with the buttons so we can work faster, and we stay fresh because of each others' input. For the live sets it's also really cool because we sometimes really try to battle on the decks and take the whole set to a higher level.

D x E: How is it collaborating with other artists?

Firebeatz: With every collaboration you learn new things from the people who you are working with... Sometimes the collab will be a big tune but sometimes it might not work so good in the studio but even then you still learn a lot and it's always fun. We're two quite energetic/busy persons, so in the studio there's almost never any silence with or without music

D x E: When can we expect to see you in the US?!

Firebeatz: We hope very soon! Miami 2012* for sure but hopefully even sooner!

*Well, you heard it here first: Firebeatz at Ultra 2012!?!
