and by 1996 was releasing tracks, remixing for established artists and DJing
professionally. He even beat a Dutch DMC champ in battle.Performing and
producing relentlessly and innovating musically as an artist like nobody else
has propelled Luke and his superhuman fusion of hyper drive house step &
ghetto jack trance bass to stratospheric new heights over the last couple of
years. In 2010, he's already remixed Wynter Gordon's 'Dirty Talk', as well as
Ferry Corsten, Calvin Harris and Moby, and his own projects, like 'Till
Tonight' feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn, and 'Turbulence' by Luke and Steve Aoki
feat. Lil Jon, have gone global. There have been three nominations for Luke in
the Beatport Music Awards – and an International Dance Music Award (IDMA) gong
in the Best House/Garage Track category for his work on ‘Leave The World
Behind’. So what more can the new decade bring for our r-evolutionary rebel?
Well, with the crazy energy that he conveys and the martial arts that he
practises, rest assured it will be out of this world. Yes, our fresh-faced
superhero has good 'kung fu', always keeping an ear to the ground while his
creativity rockets skyward. Luke, we salute you!Listen song here:YouTube
After a blistering rise to prominence, it's hardly
surprising that Alessandro 'Alesso' Lindblad (born July 7, 1991 in Stockholm)
enters the Top 100. From only a handful of singles and EPs, the producer and DJ
has built up a huge fan-base for his infectious brand of progressive electro
house, particularly with his track 'Nillionaire'. Alesso achieved
worldwide attention and popularity in 2011 with wide support of his original
productions and remixes from the likes of Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, Sander
van Doorn, Kaskade and other well established DJs.His remix of "Pressure"
was one of the most played EDM songs of 2011. “2011 has been so hectic but
amazing at the same time!” says Alesso. “It is my first year ever touring, it
has been so much to take in and so many great things to experience. I've been
trying to focus on everything. But the 'pressure' has been good!” And although
a main-room stomper of a collaborative single with Sebastian Ingrosso,
'Calling', undoubtedly raised his profile, the wave of interest it created was
ridden out with perpetual ease and skill by Alesso, who is already gearing up
for the next chapter. “I'm so pumped after this amazing summer and year. I'm
looking forward to working more on what I love doing!”Listen song here:YouTube
Sonny Flame was born on September 30 1986 in Ploiesti,
Romania. By the time he was growing up, his musical predilection and vocal
skills were noticed by his mother, who always saw in him a big potential. He
started to write lyrics and compose songs at the age of 15, into Rap / RNB
style.Good things started to come out, when a good friend of him, said that he
could greatly perform into reggae/dance hall vibes, because he has good
technical skills into that direction.He began studying and learning the Patois
language from every reggae track or album he could get his hands on. At the age
of 19 he decided to take his faith in his own hands and moved from Ploiesti to
Bucharest, Romanias capital city.Slowly he began recording more and more tracks
and demos in various recording studios, with different producers, all this time
trying to sacrifice all for the music career he was heading to. That meant that
all the money that came from the small gigs from the underground music scene
were only used in order to pay the everyday expences and the hours in the
recording studios. In 2006 he finished his first album length demo, together
with one of the artists/producers he became friend with, F.Charm.This reflected
in his lyrics, always inspired by the real life experiences he was exposed to.Sonny
Flame made some collaborations with some of the greatest Romanian artists, like
Wassabi (for 'Lonely Girl'), Connect-R (for 'Summer Days'), D.J Chris Mayer
(for 'Top Of The World' and 'Confused'), Morris (for 'Havana Lover'), and most
of these tracks kept the audience's attention for a long time. Over the years,
some of the artists that influenced him included Sean Paul, 2Pac, 50Cent,
Marley Family (Bob Marley, Ky-Mani, Damian Marley, Stephen Marley), John
Legend, Akon (the song Ghetto was one of the tracks that motivated him to
follow his dream) Busy Signal, Bounty Killer, Buju Banton, Elephant Man, Beenie
Man.
