wasted penguinz

the wasted penguinz are a hardstyle duo from helsingborg , sweden .
the duo consists of two artists ; pontuz bergman & jon brandt-cederhäll .
they began producing together in 2008 , after meeting each other on a message board , originally being rivals .
pontuz -lrb- `` teequee '' -rrb- and jon -lrb- `` dan-j '' -rrb- first met up late 2006 for the very first time .
before hand , they only had internet contact .
pontuz proposed the idea to meet up for the weekend and produce music together .
up until 2008 pontuz and jon were solo artists producing euro dance music which they then decided to start a group producing hardstyle music .
the track ` scantraxx rootz ' by headhunterz & abject aka frontliner inspired pontuz and jon to produce hardstyle music and the name ` wasted penguinz ' was born which came together over brainstorming and beer .
pontuz and jon created a few tracks and sent them to some record labels and had a response from bazz implant and impmusic .
they signed for bazz implants and had two successful releases .
this is where it all began for the wasted penguinz .
two years after the group was founded , the wasted penguinz were signed to a major dutch label , scantraxx in the summer of 2010 .
their first scantraxx release was on june 18 , 2010 .
this release contained two tracks , `` i 'm free '' and `` anxiety '' , and was released on scantraxx silver .
their second release on scantraxx silver was in october 2010 , containing the tracks `` hate mondayz '' and `` resistance '' .
all the tracks on both of their first two scantraxx releases reached the `` hardstyle top 100 of 2010 '' list from fear.fm , the then largest radio station devoted to harder styles of dance music .
`` resistance '' reached position 11 , `` anxiety '' reached position 23 , `` i 'm free '' at 37 , and finally `` hate mondayz '' at position 49 .
they also won the `` best new face '' award from fear.fm .
fear.fm interviewed pontus & jon , who revealed that they were in contact with scantraxx since december 2009 , and it was only made official in the summer of 2010 .
the image created around their music is centred on consuming large amounts of beer , with their motto/tagline being `` get wasted n ' do it '' .
the wasted penguinz ' youtube account is used to upload previews , as well as videos of drinking contests & drinking games .
in 2011 , they were booked for three major dutch festivals in the summer : intents festival in oisterwijk , defqon .1 festival in biddinghuizen and q-base .
the summer saw many new releases from the duo , all of which were released on scantraxx .
in may 2012 , the duo left scantraxx as stated by `` wasted penguinz official fan page '' on facebook .
the year after , in october , they signed with toff music and released the `` raindropz '' single as well as their first album : wistfulness .
in 2014 , the duo remixed joeysuki and kill the buzz single life is calling .
