Playing at Lollapalooza in Chicago shone out as Deorro’s most memorable event of 2019. “It was a goal of mine for a long time to play there, and I was so happy to be able to do it this year,” the bounce master tells DJ Mag. He’s spent a massive amount of time in the studio this year, working on his new radio show, and in his own words “preparing for my wedding!”.
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.
