History

In 2010, Thom Jongkind, DJing under the stage name Scalix, decided to form a DJ duo with fellow producer, Leon Vielvoije. This project was called Blasterjaxx. Thom realized from the start that both were making great strides in terms of production and popularity. Nonetheless, the relationship between the two producers, soon began to crumble. The two split soon after the birth of the group; however, Thom then continued under the Blasterjaxx name by himself. Jongkind had had a few collaborations with Idir Makhlaf, who was then operating under the name Macosta. Makhlaf eventually officially joined Jongking and the duo in their current form was born.

In 2012, the Reborn EP was released with D-Rashid containing two tracks: "Reborn" and "Where We Go." Dutch EDM producer and DJ, Laidback Luke, signed the tracks to his own label Mixmash Records. In early 2013, the group produced Loud & Proud together with Billy The Kit, with DJ legend Tiësto subsequently signing the track to his personal record label, Musical Freedom. Blasterjaxx remixed the Tiësto hits "Adagio for Strings" and "Love Comes Again" as well as collaborating with him on a remix of "United", the official anthem of Ultra Music Festival. Blasterjaxx has additional collaboration credits with such distinguished EDM acts as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, David Guetta, Hardwell, Afrojack, Nicky Romero, Quintino, Ibranovski and many others.
