BRINGING AFRO BEATS TO DUBROVNIK BEACH
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ― Plato
It is a great pleasure and honor to announce this very special guest, whose music is played at Coral Beach almost every day, combining chilled out vibes, with afro beats and oriental harmonies that perfectly match our music vision.
His mum calls him Mikkas, but for the rest of the world this personable Norwegian DJ and producer is better known as “Djuma Soundsystem”. He describes himself as a „happy idiot making some afro beats with tech sounds on top“.
On TUESDAY JULY 26th and THURSDAY JULY 28th he will pamper you with his unique sound and his infectious charisma. We will publish the playtimes on our socials a few days before the events, so stay tuned…
MORE THAN 20 YEARS IN THE GAME
Mikkas was catapulted into the house scene over two decades ago with his club classic “Les Djinns” on Get Physical music. With its huge crossover appeal it ended up being one of the most sold tracks on Beatport of all times. Back then his sound was very influenced from Arabic sounds and rhythms.
A lot has changed over the many years, through a steady flow of releases and many world tours, but Djuma Soundsystem’s sound still remains with a strong organic core. These days he’s very influenced by African tribal music, and is fusing it with his own trademarked warm electronic sound – always with one foot in European house and techno and the other in more exotic inspirations.
IZIKI MOVEMENT SPREADING ALL OVER THE WORLD
With his Iziki movement, he was in the forefront of making Afro house a global established sound. He has since made Iziki into a label, as well as a party concept spread as far as New York, Tulum, Berlin, Goa, Johannesburg and his hometown Copenhagen. And the movement keeps spreading.
It’s also presented through his Iziki show on our exclusive partner Ibiza Live Radio. He has made mix compilations and put out releases on significant labels like Crosstown Rebels, Sol Selectas, Stil vor Talent, Get Physical, Noir, Toolroom… and of course his own Iziki imprint.
WELL RENOWNED PRODUCER & REMIXER
The list of artists that he has remixed or been remixed by is way too long to write it down in here, so we will just mention a few like David Mayer, Kellerkind, MoBlack, Re:you, Lunar Plane, Daniel Rateuke, Coyu, Moby, Trentemøller, Animal Trainer, Umek, Oliver Schories, Sobek, Kolombo,Noir, Tiger Stripes, Martinez, Pete Oak, Jonas Saalbach, Kruse & Nuernberg, Rodriguez Jr, Solee…
