Diego Miranda has teetered on the edge of the Top 100 over the past few years, so this year he's more than delighted to be involved.

“It´s another dream achieved and is a confirmation and recognition of all my hard work,” he tells DJ Mag. “But above all else, it gives me a greater urge to keep working hard on my music.” Miranda's music is laced with up-tempo house-tastic energy, just as big-room tracks such as 'Ibiza For Dreams' and his remix of Underworld's 'Born Slippy' would attest.

A resident at Ushuaia in Ibiza, he also played in Green Valley, Brazil this year and even found time to unleash his latest album, 'Say Yeah'. How the next 12 months play out is anyone's guess, but if they're as incident-filled as the last, it's safe to say Miranda is in for a whale of a time.
