Tujamo
| NEW ENTRY

Tujamo has the rare distinction of actually having commercial chart success with his productions in the UK, Germany and Holland, something not a lot of dance artists can say. DJing since 2006, Tujamo — real name Matthias Richter — got his break by winning a DJ competition, which then saw him cut his teeth as resident DJ at Schuttorf club, Index. 

But it was his chart-topping success with sleeper hit ‘Dr Who’ – which grew from a Miami Winter Music Conference hit in 2012 to a chart-topping hit in 2014 — alongside Plastic Funk, and featuring grime vocals from Sneakbo, that saw Tujamo thrust into the collective consciousness of the European charts.

With remixes for the likes of Deadmau5, Jack U and Bob Sinclar, releases on Laidback Luke’s Mixmash Records, and Dutch goliath Spinnin’ Records, and collaborations with veterans like Chris Lake, Steve Aoki and Laidback Luke, Tujamo’s skills and versatility are clearly in high demand. The German is just as at-home putting grime raps over big-room bangers as he is creating full-throttle club smashes like ‘Boneless’ alongside Messrs Aoki and Lake. 

“It’s been an absolutely amazing year for me,” he tells DJ Mag. “All my summer festivals dates and club shows were off the hook, and the feedback for all my productions has been out of this world.”
