> Solomun @ IBIZA PORT, 17 September 2025

hmmm. I didn't arrive early enough to hear that specific tragedy. For the ten minutes I was there later, I'll be honest I wasn't at all impressed.
Struggling to hear much difference between what was played and EDM if I'm honest. Curious to see what other forum members thought

I was there for the tragedy
Things only got marginally better in the (short) time I was there.
He’s so far from when he used to be . Peak Solomon was around 2017/2018 I reckon .

who is pretender to the throne?

There's no one on my radar at least at the moment. If you think about the hype Solomun created during the Sankeys years, it's hard to see anyone taking that spot anytime soon.

Have to agree I find myself still only being attracted by the same old and consistent DJ’s rather than being excited by anyone new coming through!

The new ‘big’ DJ’s coming through on the UK scene have zero appeal to me - Max Dean, Josh Baker, Rossi etc

Just feels like a poor man’s chav Fuse!

Rossi is shaping up to be big...he gets booked everywhere...but agree with your sentiments

 

[Fenasi]

I would pay him to not use that vocal

I would pay him not to see him

I just don’t get the Baker thing either, all the tracks sound the same; it’s like a big bag of squashed chips.

Seems to have marketed himself very well, not sure about the others but they are all mates.
