Jurre, thank you for sparing me!
AAH!
Can you show us your tattoos? - Of course.
[ TITLE SONG ] Oh, you gotta follow,
Follow, follow The Beat!
Hey guys! My name is MOST and welcome back to The Beat!
Every single week we give you an unique insight within the dance industry.
And today is already our fifth episode, so let's get it started!
[ MUSIC BY FIREBEATZ ]
The boys of Firebeatz met at the School of Arts.
They discovered a similar interest in music.
And so by that: Firebeatz was born!
But, let's find out if their friendship is strong enough to stand a shocking interview.
Hi guys! Welcome to a new episode of 'Too much to ask'.
I'm Elise. - I'm Vita.
And we are the Blonde Tigers.
Yes! And in 'Too much to ask' we'll be interviewing DJs,
while they are in very uncomfortable situations.
And today, it's all about DJ duo Firebeatz.
Yes! Let's go!
Ok guys, we're here with DJ duo Firebeatz.
[ MUSIC BY FIREBEATZ ]
Hi guys! - Hi!
[ LAUGHING ]
This is not your regular interview.
Because you are wearing a shock collar.
And you can control it and give him the shocks.
While we are asking the questions.
Sounds good!
[ SHOCK COLLAR BUZZING ]
[ LAUGHING ]
Ok, well, it's working! - It's definitely working.
So, let's start at the beginning.
When did you become DJs?
Together, as Firebeatz, we met each other in 2008.
At the School of Arts,
and we had an assignment to work on a track together.
And from there actually, we went on 'till today.
And did you have like, back in the days, a big inspiration?
Like a DJ you really looked up to?
Yeah! We both have different backgrounds I think.
AAH!
No, for me it was - AAH -,
[ LAUGHING ]
It was DJ Roog with Sneakerz and Housequake.
That stuff, that was for me inspirational.
Erick E, Tiësto, Gregor Salto, Fedde le Grand.
And Carl Cox! - Yeah, of course!
To name one that is not Dutch.
Yeah, he's good!
What are your goals or dreams?
What would you really want to accomplish?
We talked about doing a tour, like a full on stadium tour.
That would be great!
And of course, we have our own label right now.
So like, hosting label nights,
with the producers and DJs that are on the label.
We're going to do it in Miami actually, we're going to host one there.
Nice! - Cool!
So that's going to be pretty cool! - MIAMI!
So that's a check!
And after that, I think yeah,
just working on the label,
and especially building a YouTube brand.
And you also had some pretty cool collabs.
With Calvin Harris for example...
[ CALVIN HARRIS FT. FIREBEATZ - IT WAS YOU ]
Yeah! That was a good one, I woke up just as now,
it was shocking news!
I woke up and we received an email from Calvin Harris,
like, do you want to work on a collab with me?
It was like, shocking, yeah!
[ LAUGHING ]
So, that's going to be payback for him right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah!
AAH!
So, you guys switched now.
Now you have the shock collar,
and you are in control! - Yeah!
Yes! Let's do it! - Let's test it out.
[ SHOCK COLLAR BUZZING ]
Oh, ****.
[ LAUGHING ]
You guys are travelling a lot,
what is the thing you absolutely hate about travelling?
Waiting!
Yeah, just waiting.
So about the travelling.
You guys are playing all around the world.
Do you have like, a crazy, fun story,
about what happened once?
We had a crazy bus tour in Canada once,
and there was this girl, and she was like,
she was crazy, she asked us to sign her butt.
Like with an permanent marker,
We were like, ok, she'll put on a string or something,
but everything went out! - Yeah! That was weird!
And it was the non-eraseable kind.
Blonde Tigers: Permanent marker?!
Guys, the interview was very special!
Jurre, thank you for sparing me.
[ SHOCK COLLAR BUZZING ]
Ah, fuck!
Oh sorry, was it that button?
[ LAUGHING ]
Especially that, that was the most fun part!
Girls, thank you for having us! - Yes thanks!
No, thank you guys!
I'm awake now! - Haha yes, we're awake now!
It was a shocking interview!
You saw one of my friends earlier in Fast Track.
It's the one and only Dante Klein.
And of course, we cannot get enough of him,
so we had Joëlle ask him out on a Talent Date.
Have fun guys!
Hi guys! It's Joëlle again.
I'm about to have a date with the upcoming DJ talent,
and I want to know everything about him!
Hey! Max, nice to meet you!
So, welcome!
Thank you, thank you!
What would you like to drink? - I would like to have a beer!
So tell me, where can people know you from?
I think people can know me from 'Let me hold you'.
The track I did together with Cheat Codes.
[ CHEAT CODES FT. DANTE KLEIN - LET ME HOLD YOU ]
It already has over 300 million plays on Spotify, it was my first hit.
The only musical guy in the family, that's me.
So your parents arent playing...
My parents, no. They don't play any instruments or.. They just have normal, boring office jobs.
Do they like your music? - They love it!
Is there a favourite venue or club you like to play?
Uhm... I don't play that often in Amsterdam,
or in Holland.
I loved Tomorrowland!
I played at Tomorrowland three times already. - I can imagine!
Where can we wake you up for at night?
You can always wake me up for food! - What kind of food?
Everything, but especially Thai food!
That's why I tattood a knife and a fork on my arm.
Tell me about your tattoos, do they have a story?
Most of them do!
My sister has the same one.
It means you have to take risks in life and do what you want to do.
I got this one last week,
it's a wing, stands for freedom.
I always had freedom from my parents when I told them I want to make music.
When I dropped out of school, they were like: well, ok.
What is like your biggest dream, what do you want to accomplish?
For now my biggest dream is to make an album.
I really want to work with big, recording artists in America.
And make an album with all kinds of music,
and all kinds of styles.
That I wrote together with them and produced.
Who do you want to write with?
Coldplay! Justin Bieber of course!
I think everybody wants Justin Bieber for some reason!
Because you know you have a hit record then!
Within two days!
We want to know your last WhatsApp!
Don't lie! - I'm not gonna lie!
Max can you transfer some money? - Haha what?!
It's a question from a friend, he payed for pizzas.
And he's like, can you give me ten euros?
So I was like, ok cool, done!
Ok!
You're lucky! - Yeah, I'm so lucky.
So I think I know enough, let's go to the venue and make some music!
Perfect! I'm super excited!
[ DANTE KLEIN FT. THE 87'S & BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY - COKE & HENNESSY ]
I'm proud to announce my new friend, give it up for Dante Klein!

I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Yeah, of course I loved it! Good beer, party people, it was good!
Great! I hope to see you soon! - You too!

From Rock to House, this guy has covered it all.
I'm talking about the one and only Tony Junior.
So Joëlle went down to his studio to see him,
and together they took a trip down memory lane.
Hi guys, I'm Joëlle, and I'm about to meet a guy with a very energetic personality.
When he performs he's a real entertainer,
and shows this on stage.
[ TONY JUNIOR PLAYING ]
Today I'm going to visit him in his own studio,
I'm gonna ask him all about his personal life and his youth.
And I brought some surprises as well!
This is back in time, with Tony Junior!
I brought a basket full of memories. - Oh oh!
The first one, little Tony.
Oh, oh!
What do you see when you look into this little boys eyes?
That I was super unhappy, but you cannot see this.
Because the picture is bigger,
one or two days before, my thumb was infected.
I was like a wild kid. - I can imagine that you were a wild kid.
Haha yeah, I really was!
And I had this splinter, piece of wood under my nail.
Mom and dad had a photoshoot and they were like, I want some pictures of my son as well.
So next one,
Who is this? - Ah yeah, this is super important.
This is my grandpa,
he's the man that made my dad and me get into music.
We had some family issues,
and I wasn't able to see him that much.
I won this big band competition in Utrecht,
and I remember him coming into my room and he said:
'Little guy, you did great!'.
I was able to show him before he passed away,
that I was doing good.
How important is drumming for you? Your dad was a famous drummer.
I gained so much experience by touring with my band,
I have so much knowledge because of that.
It will always be the basics of my career.
Can you show me something?
Like, play the drums or? - Yeah!
Yeah, of course, I'm a little rusty maybe. But let's do it!
Hey!
I started playing music when I was like three years old.
My father was a drummer, my mom was a model but she was always like, singing,
more for fun,
and when I was 21, I made the transision from being a drummer to a DJ.
Bacause my band split up.
I fell in love with house music.
That time it was with, Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano,
Leroy Styles, and I was like, that's what I want to do.
And tell us about your first track 'Loesje'.
[ TONY JUNIOR FT. NICOLAS NOX - LOESJE ]
My dad, he came to me and was like,
'Dude, you should make a remix of this song!'
And I was like.. dude?
My granddad played the harmonic,
and my dad played Loesje when he was younger,
because of that I was like, ok, I'll make a remix.
I finished it in two days, gave it to my dad as like a funny joke,
and two weeks later it was signed to a label, Spinning Records.
The radio picked it up..
Now, your back tattoo.
Yeah!
O M G, that must be painful as hell!
I'm not gonna lie,
it's painful as fuck!
How long did it take? - 7 hours straight of tattooing.
This is an old picture, it's me as a baby,
and this is mom and dad.
I had a pretty rough youth with my mom and dad,
this picture resembles the moment that everything was still good.
Like, we were a little happy family.
Can you show us your tattoo? - Oh yeah, of course!
Wow, god!
Yeah..
Yeah, it's real...
Thank you so much for this look in your personal life!
No problem! You had some good pictures with you!
It was fun to talk about!
Alright guys, that was it.
