Twoloud, formerly stylized as twoloud, now stylized as TWOLOUD, is a German musical project consisting of members Manuel Reuter (also known as DJ Manian), Alexander Thomas (a.k.a. Alex Castle) along with Dennis Nicholls (a.k.a. D-Style). The act was founded in 2013 and is active mainly in the genres of progressive house and big room house, which are some of the house music subgenres. Although the project's anonymity has been revealed in mid-2014, the musicians were asking to be judged only by their music, not faces.
The style of TWOLOUD is unique, with the lead sound of the song "Greatest DJ", for example, being strongly linked to that of duo Showtek.1 Similar comparisons were given to the songs "Drop It Like This", which contains influences by DJ Tujamo,2 and "I'm Alive" resembling the sound of Canadian duo DVBBS.3 Their debut song "Big Bang" has a sound connected to DJ Martin Garrix.
For a long time, members of TWOLOUD remained anonymous. In their live performances they appeared in ninja costumes and on their album covers they had never been seen.4 For a long time TWOLOUD was suspected to be a joint project of the Dutch DJs Hardwell and Tiësto. Their anonymity was an advantage to lesser-known artists, who would often announce that they were TWOLOUD. However, in mid-2014, it was announced that TWOLOUD was a project of the two German DJs Manian and D-Style. This was due to pictures the duo was on and the fact that they were credited on their songs.5
