Breaking: The No. 1 DJ in the world was once a cute, smiling toddler.

Before Hardwell was leading the masses through hours-long transcendental sets of progressive and electro house, he went by Robbert van de Corput in the small city of Breda in the southern region of the Netherlands. Oh, how things change. Lucky for us, the internet surpasses all boundries of time and space. Now, on his newly relaunched website, we can see pictures of an awkward young Robbert learning to play instruments with his friends.

Without a doubt, the best part of the site is the interactive timeline featuring very cute pictures of baby Robbert, but the gorgeous new redesign also features the latest Hardwell tour dates, news, and social media updates. All DJs need websites like this—it's the 2014 equivalent of transitioning from turntables to a Macbook.

Fun fact of the day: Hardwell's dad came up with the name Hardwell, which is the English translation of "van de Corput."

In other Hardwell news, he's starting a residency at Ushuaia Ibiza and has invited fans to submit videos and pictures recorded at his live shows to use in his upcoming video for "Everybody Is In the Place." Get involved.
