Blog #18: Headhunterz

Headhunterz


Willem Rebergen also known as Headhunterz, a Dutch DJ and record producer is well known within the hardstyle genre. Headhunterz originally started as a duo project in 2005 partnered with Bobby van Putten but by 2006 van Putten made a decision to leave Headhunterz to continue his musical studies at the Rock Academy.  Rebergen continued as Headhunterz continuing his success in 2007 and formed a collaboration with Wildstylez as Project One receiving well in the Hardstyle community. 
Headhunterz continued his success in the hardstyle genre until 2013 where he signed with Ultra Records marking his departure from hardstyle to mainstream music. It did not bode well with the hardstyle community but Headhunterz commits to his decision with his creative freedom. Despite his commitment to a new genre he still plays hardstyle on set. In 2016, there were many hints of his return to hardstyle such as the suprise appearance on the Defqon 1 alongside Technoboy and The Prophet. Ending 2016 with the return of Project One alongside Wildstylez appearing at Qlimax 2016 and Knockout Circuz 2016 which i have attended and personally enjoyed as it brings the nostalgic memories of early hardstyle. In late June 2017 he officially announced his return to hardstyle and is continuing to make new music/
