The duo formed in Tilburg in 2008, and gained fame in the EDM scene through their dance floor hits like "Dear New York", "Here We F*cking Go" and "Helicopter".

Music career

Tim and Jurre met at the School of Arts in Tilburg, the Netherlands and discovered a similar interest in music. [3] Their chemistry prompted them to form Firebeatz in 2008. [4] Their early releases, "Funky Shit", "Where's Your Head At", "Miniman", "Dear New York" and "Here We F*cking Go" ranked highly on the Beatport dance charts.

Their collaboration with Chocolate Puma, "Just One More Time Baby", aired on BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong's show and received good audience feedback. [5] The track went on to top the Beatport House chart for many weeks. "Dear New York", a collaboration with Schella, also became one of their biggest hits and reached No. 2 on the Beatport Main Top 100. [6]

In 2013, Firebeatz continued the momentum with "Gangster" which reached the Beatport Top 20. Subsequently, they released a collaboration with Bobby Burns in "Ding Dong" on Tiësto's Musical Freedom label. "Yeahhhh" was released on Calvin Harris's Fly Eye Records and the duo was invited to make an exclusive remix of Calvin Harris and Ayah Marar's collaboration, "Thinking About You". Their track "Wonderful" gained support by established DJs such as Afrojack, Chuckie, Sander van Doorn, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Thomas Gold and R3hab.

"Max Ammo", released December 2013, reached the Beatport Top 20. [7] Their collaboration with Martin Garrix, "Helicopter", achieved No. 1 on Beatport, [8] as well as charting in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. "Guitar Track", a collaboration with Sander van Doorn was released in March 2014 after it was initially previewed with their identities hidden. [9] In June 2014, Firebeatz worked alongside Tiësto and Ladyhawke to release "Last Train", which was featured on Tiësto's fifth studio album, A Town Called Paradise . The duo also featured on Calvin Harris's fourth studio album Motion with the collaborative track, "It Was You", in November 2014.

Firebeatz also successfully managed to diversify and cross over to other genres by collaborating with artists such as Pitbull, James Blunt, Ian Carey, Snoop Dogg, Freestylers, Flo Rida, Timbaland, Fatman Scoop, Alex Gaudino, Wynter Gordon, Bingo Players and Sean Paul. The latter two collaborations reached Beatport's Main Top 15. [3]

In 2018, Firebeatz and DubVision formed the supergroup METAFO4R, and performed together for the first time at EDC Las Vegas 2018. [10]
