Tujamo is proof that there’s more to German club culture than pitch-black techno. He’s naturally enjoyed plenty of success in his home country, but it would be fair to say that his particular brand of forthright, big room-ready electro-house is more popular around the world than it is in his own back yard.
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.
