The songs "Finally" and "Somebody to Love" (2015) reached the Top 10 Beatport charts and stayed in this position for several weeks. The duo won the 2016 "Breakthrough Artist of the Year" (in German: Breakthrough Artist of the Year) award at the annual ceremony at the Winter Music Conference .
history
The duo was founded in 2013 in a student apartment in Delft , the Netherlands . They released their first single on Soundcloud for free download . After the two had written over 100 emails to blog owners on a weekend in 2013 to publish their music, they hoped that one of them would reply and agree. Several owners replied. After weeks, the two had received good support on various blog entries. After releasing 7 free downloads , the DJ & producer Oliver Heldens wrote to them , who praised the two and liked their music. Both exchanged ideas and finally the duo sent him tracks, which he sent on to the Dutch record label Spinnin Records . After a couple of weeks, they got an answer from the label, which would hear more of the two Dutch DJs . After tracks were sent to SPRS again , the two got a contract and have been under contract with the label ever since .
In 2013 the two founded the YouTube channel Mr Belt & Wezol, where an "EXPLAINING .." of the respective song is published regularly after the release of a song. In this video, Van Wees ( Wezol ) tells and explains what his ideas were and how the song was produced.
Since 2014 the duo owns a monthly podcast called "The Cuckoo's Nest Radio (By Mr. Belt & Wezol)".
In 2018 , the duo played for the first time at the annual Tomorrowland .
