Blasterjaxx

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.

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.
