Renowned DJ/production duo Showtek are back on the release radar with their first sonic endeavor of 2022, ‘Pour It Down’. Their latest original production directly follows up a slew of highly successful 2021 tunes such as last February’s ‘Pum Pum’, the 2-track ‘Mercy’ EP from the tail end of last March, and the May-released collaborative hit with Theresa Rex ‘What Is Love’. The new offering sees the pair linking up with VÉRITÉ for an enthralling musical journey, and is out now, available to listen to across all streaming platforms via Universal Music.
A piano is introduced into the space, quickly followed by VÉRITÉ’s flowing, melodious vocal. Flawlessly executed, her mellifluous performance is paired perfectly alongside the house music elements present throughout the entirety of its runtime. The sprightly rinser audibly boasts piano house sensibilities, a certified feelgood gem that’s primed for festivals and club nights the world over. The anthemic, soaring quality in her vocal also ties the single and its four-on-the-floor flair together in the best possible way, in turn producing an enthralling piece of work that leans into the house music genre magnificently, and also serves as an excellent party opus to kick off the new year.

ABOUT SHOWTEK — Showtek is a revered Dutch DJ/producer duo consisting of Wouter Janssen and Sjoerd Janssen, who’ve been actively producing their unique take on dance music since 2001. The brothers dominated the underground hardstyle scene until 2011. They were most known for their songs, ‘FTS’ , ‘The Colours Of The Harder Style’ and ‘Black’, just to name a few. After a decade of being on top of the hardstyle scene, selling out solo shows and releasing two artists albums it was time for a change and a new challenge.
The following year, their style of dance music slightly shifted with the onset of the EDM boom, which paid off in the form of multiple groundbreaking smash hits. These include 2012’s collaborative track with Hardwell, ‘How We Do’, 2013’s ‘Get Loose’, ‘Cannonball’, ‘Booyah’, ‘We Like To Party’, 2014’s ‘Bouncer’, and platinum-awarded ‘Bad’ with David Guetta and VASSY, all of which currently collectively sit at an impressive 564,000,000 combined streams via Spotify and almost 1 billion views on YouTube to-date. Nearing two decades since their inception, this well-established act is now creatively pursuing the world of pop in full force, with a worldly, culturally-infused urban flair.
