Mladen Solomun was born in 1975 in Bosnia, more precisely in the town of Travnik, but he moved to Hamburg as a child with his family. The conquering of the world scene began in 2012 when Mixmag magazine awarded him as the world's best DJ. Shortly after, he became a triple winner at the DJ Awards. The best deep house DJ belongs to the group of the best electronic music producers, while his labels Dynamic and 2DIY4 relese the best-selling tracks around the world. The story of success in Ibiza began in 2013 when he launched the well-known event "Solomun + 1". His residency at Pasha Club belongs to the group of the most visited happenings in Ibiza. Boiler Room parties, where Solomun is the DJ, record millions of views on the You Tube channel and they are definitely some of the most watched house videos of all time.
