Solomun (born Mladen Solomun: 1975 in Bosnia and Herzegovina), raised in Hamburg, is a DJ, producer and three time DJ Awards winner.
Career
Solomun started his DJ career in 2002 and has been an active music producer since 2005. Solomun started the record label Diynamic in 2006 with his partner, Adriano Trolio. His first EP on Diynamic, Solomun EP, came out in 2006. Since then, he has released many other EPs and compilations, as well as the 2009 album Dance Baby. In 2011, he launched a second label, the more experimental 2DIY4.
Until the end of June 2014 he owned the Hamburg-based club Ego, co-run by his sister and Adriano Trolio.
Solomun's music is inspired by R&B, funk, soul, hip hop, disco and 80s music. His sound has been described as "house music, but with deep, ultra funky basslines, euphoric melodies and emotionally charged vocals".
In 2011, his remix Around (Noir & Haze) was elected Remix of the Year by Resident Advisor. In 2012, he was named DJ of the Year by Mixmag,[1] Producer of the Year by the DJ Awards in Ibiza,[2] and Best DJ International by the Cool Awards in Brazil.
Solomun kicked off the Ibiza 2013 season by presiding over the Burn Studios Residency bootcamp. In 2015 he was holding two residencies on the island, at night-clubs Pacha and Destino.[3]
