This will be Nordic duo Kenth Kvien and Marcus Nordli’s eighth year in a row smashing it in the Top 100 DJs poll. Going up, going down, going up and down again, it makes no odds because their fans love them any which way. It’s because of their ability to create a party within a party that makes them so adored the world over.
Mladen Solomun has come a long way over the past decade. Emerging from the deep house scene of Hamburg, his adopted hometown — his family had moved there from the former Yugoslavia when he was a kid — Solomun founded the Diynamic label back in 2005. Initially, it served as a platform for local artists like Stimming, Kollektiv Turmstrasse and H.O.S.H, and their early, string-soaked melodic house EPs provided a sweet alternative to the robotic minimalism of that period. Solomun also pushed this sound in his own productions and DJ sets, and this distinctive, singular style has led him to become an increasingly popular international DJ.
