Bassjackers is a Dutch electronic music production and DJ duo consisting of Marlon Flohr & Ralph van Hilst. Flohr is the more outspoken member of the duo whereas Van Hilst takes care of 'behind-the-scenes' production.
The pair's Electro House tracks, including "Savior", "Crackin" and "Wave Your Hands", reached the 'Beatport top 100'. They are best known for their 2013 the single, "Crackin". They rank at 34th on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs of 2016. Bassjackers have released their tracks on labels Spinnin' Records, Revealed Recordings and Smash The House.
Flohr and Van Hilst were friends in high school, where they formed Bassjackers in 2007. The duo began performing together, with Flohr as the showman and Van Hilst more involved in 'behind-the-scenes' production.
In 2011, the single "Mush Mush" appeared on Beatport. The track was more successful than their earliern singles, and reached after a short time the top 10 of the Beatport charts, where it stayed for over two months. It was played by DJs Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and the Swedish House Mafia in their sets.
In 2012 the duo performed at a number of festivals and began to tour the United States. Their first large concert appearance was at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. At the EDC Vegas they played their track "Mush Mush", as well as their next planned single "Hey", a collaboration with the Dutch DJ duo Showtek. The release was postponed and the publication of their Angger Dimas collaboration went on. The single "RIA" was published in March through Sander van Doorn's label Doorn Records. A few months later, in August, they released together with Yves V the single "Bronx" through Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike's label Smash the House. The duo presented the song "Let's Get Weird" for free download available.
Their collaboration with DJ and producer Dyro was their first release in 2013. The single was released in February under the title "Grid". It followed the track "Duckface", a collaboration with Kenneth G.
