History
Coppen initially made music under the name Sub Zero. He came into contact with Velderman via YouTube; they listened to each other's tracks and then decided to work together. Velderman joined Coppen and "Project" was added to the name to clarify that it was a duo.[1][2]
In 2017, Sub Zero Project released "The Project", their first hardstyle hit, which led to them receiving widespread attention from across the scene for their use of psy-style kicks blended with hardstyle elements.[3] This also came accompanied with a new live act, featuring the duo's new signature look of their faces being painted in the form of their logo. In 2018, as a followup to "The Project", the duo released "The XPRMNT", which as well came with a new live act featuring a change in attire contributing to the theme of the act. In 2019, the duo released "The Contagion", which served as the lead track for their debut album titled Contagion.[4] In less than three months, their debut album reached over 10 million streams on Spotify.
In 2018, Q-Dance chose the duo to create the Qlimax 2018 anthem, titled "The Game Changer".[5]
In 2019/2020, Sub Zero Project are #95 in the DJ Mag Top 100.[6]
