Biography
Djuma Soundsystem used to be a duo in the beginning, but Mikkas has been going solo for quite some years now. But he has kept the trade mark sound, stretching between disco, house and techno, always on a clear focus on a deep feel with melodies and lots of room for emotions. His aim is to produce real songs without vocals, more than just dj tools and grooves. It's catchy, but still underground, and it can make a festival crowd go mad, as well as an intimate club.
Steadily he's kept on releasing mix CD compilations and tracks on labels like Neurotraxx, Rebirth, This is, Eskimo, IO, Toolroom, Elite, Audiomatique, Get Physical, Soundz, Fukai, My favorite robot, Conya, Noir and more.
He's remixed, or been remixed, by artists like Tiger Stripes, Noir, Moby, Trentemøller, Uner, Maya Jane Cole, Aki Bergen, Antix, Umek, Martin Landsky, Kolombo, Hardfloor, Lee Van Dowski and Dean Demanuele, just to name a few.
