When two Dutch forces collide, magic isn’t just a possibility—it’s inevitable! That’s the story of Lucas de Wert and Steven Jansen, the powerhouse pair behind Lucas & Steve, who took the Nexus Lounge Amsterdam by storm during the 2024 Amsterdam Dance Event. The duo dished on their latest track, studio secrets, and a decade of chart-topping success.
Lucas & Steve’s journey began in 2010 when the two DJs decided to team up, combining their years of club experience to craft something extraordinary. By 2011, they dropped progressive and tech-house beats on indie labels like Hospital Records and WL77. Their big break came in 2014 with Spinnin’ Deep, where they dove into the future house sound, blending summery vibes and guitar-laden melodies.
From there, the hits just kept rolling: “Summer On You,” “Up Till Dawn,” “Where Have You Gone,” “Perfect,” and the unforgettable “Letters,” which anchored their award-winning debut album Letters to Remember. This 16-track masterpiece, lauded with the Netherlands’ prestigious Edison Pop Award, cemented their reputation as dance music’s dynamic storytellers.
When the world paused in 2020, Lucas & Steve didn’t. Instead, they doubled down, refining their craft and surpassing a staggering 1 billion streams worldwide. By 2021, they collaborated with legends like Afrojack, Tiësto, and Galantis, proving they could set trends and break boundaries.
Now, they're turning heads again with their country-inspired banger, "Do It All Again." Inspired by the global surge of country pop and their love of genre-bending, the track is a fresh take on their sound. Picture this: steel guitars, warm vocals, and a rhythm like a sunset ride through the Southwest. As Lucas & Steve put it, "The moment felt right. This is it."
Fans of their 2020 track “Letters” will feel right at home with this new tune but with an irresistible twist. It’s a cowboy hat tip to their versatility, mixing pop, electronic, and country vibes into something uniquely Lucas & Steve. Who knew dance music could sound so at home on the open range?
After ten incredible years, it’s clear these two aren’t slowing down. With a well-deserved ADE Level Award under their belts and a bright road ahead, Lucas & Steve are poised to keep surprising fans with more genre-defying hits.
