The 10 years anniversary of Tomorrowland, that has been recognised as the best global dance electronic music festival at the IDMA awards in Miami, was impressive and will remain unforgettable to those who had the luck to secure one of the 360.00 tickets that were sold in just an hour and attend the 1st super hot weekend and the 2nd cooler weekend as the temperature concerned but extremely hot and spicy too. Both weekends included the finest dj sets from the hottest names in the Electronic Dance Music culture including David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Tiesto, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W & W, Martin Solveig, Laidback Luke, Carl Cox, Afrojack, Avicii, Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz and the list goes on. The line up was 80% the same for both weekends and the rest mainly in the smaller stages was different.
One of the djs who had the honour to perform both weekends is the Norwegian super star Orjan Nilsen who played at the Trance Addict stage with great success and fantastic comments in the social media world. The stage was packed when he played so definitely there is a strong army of Orjan Nilsen followers that were in front of him at Tomorrowland. After his top performance at the 2nd weekend and his interview at Tomorrowland radio, that was on air for the whole duration of the festival broadcasting extended extracts from various stages, we manage to catch him and request an interview from him. We are super glad he accepted the challenge and here you can experience another very entertaining and informative Orjan Nilsen interview. First of all we asked him about his dj sets at both weekends of Tomorrowland and how the crowd reacted to his selections.
Next we ask him about his current single Hurricane with Christina Novelli that is out on his own label In My Opinion part of Armada Music. He speaks about his label and the artists he had the pleasure to sign and he reveals some of his forthcoming projects, remixes and releases. He presents his summer tour schedule so far and his forthcoming gigs. We ask him if he ever played any of his productions in any of his gigs and the reactions from the crowd were not so enthusiastic. Also he confesses that he is about to start his own radio show and finally we discuss the explosion of dance music in USA and how much this has affected his career and bookings at the other side of the Atlantic. When Orjan Nilsen speaks, you better watch him carefully!
Many thanks so much to Orjan Nilsen for taking the time to record this interview.
Also, many thanks to Marije de Konink & Carmen van den Werf from Armada Music offices for their assistance in arranging interviews.
