Djs From Mars, Blasterjaxx, e Ran

Prior to forming Blasterjaxx, DJ and producer Thom Jongkind performed and recorded under the moniker Scalix. Following an urge Scalix wanted to form a DJ duo and subsequently set up Blasterjaxx with another producer, however the project soon folded and Jongkind continued the Blasterjaxx name. Idir Makhlaf, who had been performing under the name Macosta had collaborated with Jongkind on a number of occasions previously due to the pair’s shared love for music, and officially joined Blasterjaxx in 2012.

The same year the duo released their debut EP “Reborn” introducing to a wide audience their progressive, big-room, electro-house sound. With the help of producer D-Rashid the EP featured two singles “Reborn” and “Where We Go”, which earned the attention of Laidback Luke, who signed the tracks to his label Mixmash Records.

2013 brought a whole-host of single releases for the EDM duo including “Faith” which became a huge charting single in the Netherlands and Sweden, “Puzzle” featuring Quintino, “Fifteen” the popular Hardwell edit, “That Big” and “Snake”. On top of this Blasterjaxx produced their “Loud & Proud” track with Billy the Kit, and was later approached by Tiësto to sign the track to his label Musical Freedom. Subsequently Tiësto asked the duo to produce a remix of his tracks “Adagio for Strings” and “Love Comes Again”. Due to these releases and support from the like of Laidback Luke and Tiësto, Blasterjaxx has earned the additional support from esteemed DJs including David Guetta, Afrojack and Nicky Romero.
