Globally celebrated Dutch duo Showtek returns with 360 Yellow, a victory lap of an album that compiles all their excellent singles over the last year while adding some great new tracks and surprises along the way.
In their ongoing efforts to promote mental and physical well-being, Showtek recently joined popular Peloton Instructor Jess King for a special Peloton 30-minute Power Walk in New York City, premiering a few choice cuts from their new album in the class, including ‘Lovers On The Sun’ (ft. Sam Martin), ‘Let Me Think About It Again’, (ft.Ida Corr) and ‘Dream’ (ft. Timmy Trumpet).

Endlessly energetic and inventive, their new album ‘360 Yellow’ is the first in a series of albums to explore the iconic duo’s varied musical facets. Yellow is one of the primary colors (along with blue and red) from which all other colors can be derived, and it is meant to express Showtek’s broad musical palette and ambitions.
Kicking off with a thought-provoking intro featuring the voice of electronic music pioneer Bob Moog, 360 Yellow swings from the uplifting house-inflected new single ‘Shine’ to the tongue-in-cheek hardstyle of ‘Holland’ to the spacey and reflective ‘Simulation’ to the arena-sized anthem ‘Feeling,’ and much more. Featuring collaborations with Steve Aoki, Timmy Trumpet, Ookay, and Bassjackers, 360 Yellow has something for everyone, and yet it is unmistakably Showtek.
Written in Bali during a difficult time in their lives, ‘Shine’ is a very personal track created to raise awareness around the mental and physical health issues of DJs and producers.
Sjoerd relates:
“Back in 2015. I ended up in The hospital in Singapore after I got really sick and I got diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy. It’s a facial paralysis where you lose total control of one side of your face, and the entire muscle function in your face stops working (the same as what Justin Bieber had). It was really scary, and there was no guarantee it would even recover. I was so addicted to work I even tried to perform two weeks later, but I could barely speak, and I had to hide one side of my face on stage. My wife told me to stop and take care of myself. I was exposed to too much stress, and I took a 3-month break from touring and music production, which was hard because I never sat still or took a break. This was a huge turning point in my life. To this day I am still struggling with it, even though I try to take care of myself very well.
We are always touring the world or spending lots of time in the studio, but we make sure we eat healthy, work out, and stay in mental and physical shape to live a balanced life as much as possible. ‘Shine’ was created as the main focus track of the album. It’s our first proper non-hardstyle album (house, bigroom, techno, etc), and the song tells a big part of our story of how we got here today.”
The album ‘360 Yellow’ stands for everything that people know Showtek for. They wanted to go back to the roots, the core, to a place that makes their hearts beat. The Showtek you remember, just with more depth and layers. This is exactly what they wanted to create and execute, having fun as brothers and making the music they love without any boundaries. They embrace the past, the present, and the future, and it’s a great moment to break the silence and create some rumble.
