The duo of Dutch DJs and producers has a marked place in the line-up of O Maior Sunset de Semper on Friday, July 7th, and promises to bring a lot of electro house and big room to the Stage of Dreams.
A meteoric rise and a certainty among the best in the world
The Dutch Thom Jongkind and Idir Makhla are the names behind the Blasterjaxx project that has been “destroying” stages all over the world since 2012, the year in which they released their first song.
Already in 2013, the duo of DJs and producers reached the top of the international charts with the single “Faith” reaching several world tops and guaranteeing the duo its first double platinum. After that, it kept going up: they entered position 71 in the DJ Mag Top 100 and, in the following year, they climbed an incredible 58 positions, reaching #13, having since consolidated their position in the top, currently occupying the place #52.
This meteoric rise meant that the duo worked over the years with the most renowned artists, including David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, The Chainsmokers or Hardwell, and was also a regular presence on the biggest stages in the world, having played several times at major EDM festivals such as Ultra Miami, Tomorrowland, Parookaville and EDC Las Vegas.
Due to the rapid rise to success and a really intense touring schedule, the year 2015 forced Idir to make the “difficult decision”, in his own words, to stop being present on tours. However, the duo keeps their production work in the studio.
The Blasterjaxx impact on RFM SOMNII
Blasterjaxx are no longer a novelty at Praia do Relógio: in 2017, the show was memorable and it is expected, 6 years later, an equally powerful effect for all Maxxers (as Blasterjaxx fans are known).
SUMMER IS ALWAYS OURS and, until then, keep the flame of your #SunsetFeeling
