Look for the full release May 28. PREVIEW: Nicky Romero & ZROQ - WTF!?
"WTF?" will be the first track released on Nicky Romero's new label, Protocol Recordings. The song is a collaboration with ZROQ, a Dutch producer who just set up a Facebook fan page and doesn't have any other records we can find.

Pete Tong says it perfectly in the intro, "it's just getting a bit silly now, I don't know what they're puttin' in the water over there, but maybe they should send us some."
