Released 9 Years Ago: Martin Garrix & Jay Hardway – Wizard

After smashing every chart imaginable with his game-changing EDM anthem ‘Animals’, the then-Dutch prodigy Martin Garrix enlisted Jay Hardway to assist him in the creation of the official follow-up ‘Wizard’. Immediately sought after by every Top DJ in the world, the magical ‘Wizard’ was bound to become an even bigger hit than its predecessor and it came incredibly close, gaining over 250 million streams since its release – quickly becoming of the most streamed tracks on both artists’ discography.

Martin Garrix has risen to global stardom in pop as well as electronic circles – and yet he’s far from being done. Dance music’s freshest talent has headlined festivals around the globe, founded a label and mentored other artists and won the #1 spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 three times in a row. His passion, ambition, drive, and maturity remain unmatched in the world. With his label STMPD RCRDS now firmly established, Garrix has free range to do exactly that which he loves most: making music.

Globally adored dance music artist Jay Hardway continues to be one of the scene’s most exciting and well-loved names. A tastemaker within his own right, Jay’s formidable discography has played an instrumental part in the development of the electronic music scene, reinforcing his credentials as a musical force to be reckoned with. His first release at the age of 21 came in the form of a collaboration with the then-unknown Martin Garrix, ‘Registration Code’, followed by the hugely successful ‘Wizard’. The duo later released the smash ‘Spotless’ in 2016. 2018 also saw Jay climb the legendary DJ Mag Top 100 poll to #64.
