Jewelz & Sparks, formerly known as Jewelz & Scott Sparks, is a German DJ and production duo consisting of Julius Voigtländer (born 1984) and Gregor Brechmann (born 1991) that formed in 2011, and they are one of the most successful German EDM projects.
The duo is best known for their collaboration with Quilla on the single "Unless We Forget", released on Revealed Recordings in January 2014 and "Pharaoh", released a few months later.
Even before merger, both musicians were active as DJs and producers. Jewelz, with Josh the Funky 1, released a remix of "The Groove" on Groovebox 2008. A year later he appeared along with Meesh on the single "If U Luv Me". Scott Sparks was active on Straight Line Records, releasing his debut single "Insane" in 2011.
They met while studying music production and business at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg. Although they did not go in the same class, but learned to know each other because of their same musical taste. In addition, both produced their music in a similar way. After their meeting, they decided to start a first collaboration. The duo said that they developed their ideas via Skype and continued or run these by reference into their Dropbox saved file. After that, they began making a song but only if they both are together in their studio.
Shortly after coming together to start as a duo, their official first single "Toxic Rush", was released in September 2012 through Fedde Le Grand's label Flamingo Recordings and also through Beatport. "Toxic Rush" became a surprise success. The single was supported by among others David Guetta, Tiësto and Hardwell, who played the Big Room song in their sets and their podcasts. Furthermore, they followed multiple queries on appearances and recording contracts. In December 2012, their second single "Flashbang" followed.
In 2013, they started with the single "NYMSN". The title is a sequence of the initial letters of the words "New York make some noise," representing the Shout for inserting the drops. However, the release did not take place, as the first two tracks on Flamingo, but on MYNC's label Cr2 Records. The connection to the known label was also formed by Le Grand, who can also boast a number of releases on Cr2 Records. During the year, the release of the double single "Hot Rod / White Sun" and the track "Cargo" followed.
