Diego Miranda has been on the road a lot this year, playing China, Japan and Thailand, where he signed a monthly residency at Illuzion in Phuket. He also laid down some of his thrilling electro sets at Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza, as well as playing at home in Portugal.
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.
