History
Nigel Coppen initially made music under the name Sub Zero. He came into contact with Thomas 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. In December 2013, at the ages of 16 and 17 respectively, Nigel and Thomas signed with the Belgian hardstyle record label Dirty Workz.

In 2017 Nigel and Thomas both graduated from the Herman Brood Academy, a production school in Utrecht, as Artist Musician Dance Producers. The same year they released "The Project", which led to them receiving widespread attention for their use of psy-style kicks with aggressive attacks, blended with hardstyle elements.

In 2018 the duo released "The XPRMNT", which as well came with a new live act featuring a change in attire. Q-Dance chose the duo to create the Qlimax 2018 anthem, titled "The Game Changer". Also in 2018, the duo would make their first collab with Australian House producer Timmy Trumpet titled "Rockstar" which is one of 3 collabs.. In 2019, the duo released "The Contagion", which served as the lead track for their debut album titled Contagion. In less than three months, their debut album reached over 10 million streams on Spotify.

In 2022, Sub Zero Project released their 2nd album titled “Renaissance of Rave”.

Sub Zero Project has made the DJ Mag Top 100 list – 95th in 2019, 123rd in 2020, and 131st in 2021.
