Solomun, who has collaborated with Lana Del Rey and Jamiroquai, has promised nights to remember as he looks back on his “natural high point in my long-standing love affair” with London’s nightlife.
Legendary DJ Solomun is set for another “magical” moment as he heads back to London. Fresh from another hugely successful residency at Ibiza Pacha this summer, he is ready to take on the iconic Alexandra Palace for a double header. And it’s a moment he admits he has dreamed of for a long time.
“It’s truly an iconic venue in London,” the world-renowned disc jockey tells us. “I feel very grateful to be able to play two shows there. In many ways, it feels like a natural high point in my long-standing love affair with the city’s nightlife.”
Solomun insists that freedom is the key to his longevity despite the fact that he frequently travels the world with his brand-new sets. I “allow myself to experiment with new sounds and viewpoints.” He continued, “I never want to repeat myself.”

And he promises to include such freedom of expression in every set, including his upcoming Ally Pally dates. He teases, “Of course I will play a lot of fresh unreleased tracks where I can’t wait to feel the people react.”
The Bosnian-German DJ boasts massive remixes for artists such as Foals, Lana Del Rey, Pet Shop Boys and Jamiroquai. And speaking of such linkups, he admits the collaborations often come organically. “Sometimes an artist reaches out because they connect with my music,” he says. “Other times, I find myself drawn to their world.
Things tend to happen quite naturally when there is mutual trust and curiosity. When someone asks me to collaborate, whether it’s an emerging artist or a more well-known artist, I find it rewarding to step into various musical universes and seek out common ground. And of course, when artists I’ve been fans of for a while request to remix their music, it still feels like a real gift and blessing.
He revealed his next exciting collabs, but he doesn’t intend to slow down. I’ve previously collaborated with the wonderful German singer INEZ from the band TNA on the song TukTuk.
“I always believed that we could continue to explore this together. We had been discussing doing another song for a while, and it finally came true, which is very satisfying. I also collaborated with Skrillex on a track, which I’m incredibly appreciative of and eager to share.
The Home DJ acknowledged that he was willing to find anyone who was honest, and that he also ruled out a return to the mainstream. I’m drawn to voices that convey a lot of emotion and space, and I like artists who combine elements to create an atmosphere.
I enjoy looking at different genres and scenes as well. I have a very broad palate, ranging from hip-hop to folk. He promises to keep his Alexandra Palace shows going through the years. He continues, “I always have the best intentions and hope that it makes sense,” he says.
With a longer set, I have room to play with anticipation, stretch my travels, and let the night breathe. Surprises appear naturally when they are most effective.
Solomun’s upcoming sets follow a busy 2025 that saw him again captivate Ibizan audiences with Solomun + 1 Pacha. He also had stunning sets at the Royal Palace of Belgium, Chateau de Chantilly, and Old Royal Naval College. He also made an appearance in Las Vegas for the movie The Sphere.
