Martin Solveig

Martin Solveig is a focused artist, hungry for experience. His first DJ sets, a few nights on the decks of the Palace club when he was 18 inspired a passion for electronic music. As a student, he was successively resident DJ at Le Palace, Les Bains-Douches, L’Enfer and Le Queen. He set up his own label, “Mixture”, and finally made his name with “Heart Of Africa”, which won acclaim from influential electro players, such as Joe Clausell, Frankie Knuckles and Bob Sinclar. Sinclar asked Martin to join the “Africanism” team. The result was “Edony” (number-one spot in the French, Italian and Greek club charts). 2007 has been a harsh but yet delightful djing year for Martin Solveig. It has allowed him to enter the TOP 100 dj mag (#76) for the first time and comforted his rank among the top international deejays. He’s now buried in his studio preparing what’s next and delivers a preview with the smashing “C’est la vie”. Prince and Jackson influences are no surprise from the producer of “Rocking Music” but you’ll also feel something fresh and original about this track. It sounds like the beginning of a new cycle. The original club mix is an electro funk track peppered with alternative flavours while the “Fedde vs Martin” version worked in collaboration with Fedde Legrand takes us in the middle of the club battle field. The remix package will be upgraded in the coming weeks by John Dahlbäck, and with a more indie feel by Goose and by The Bloody Beetroots. After that if you’re still sceptical, well… “C’est la vie”.
