Martin Solveig

Martin Solveig is a house music DJ and producer from Paris. He also does a program on 98.2 Paris on Monday nights between 9pm and 10pm.

Early Career

He was born in 1976. At 13, he got his first turntables and that influenced him to take up a career in electronic music rather than the classical music he was learning. He started his first residency at Paris's leading club Le Palace with the support of Claude Monnet. Martin Solveig then moved to another famous Paris nightclub Les Bains Douches where he worked with famous DJs such as Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez and Bob Sinclar. His popularity further increased with the Pure parties at the Queen club either as a DJ or as an art director.

Early Recording Career

He started producing at an early stage of his career. Through his own Mixture label, he released two 12-inch singles Heart of Africa followed by Come with Me. These singles combined dance music with musicians playing more traditional music. Bob Sinclar then asked him to join the Africanism project combining African music and electronic music. He later released the Edony single which made an impact worldwide.

Later career

In 2002, he released Sur la Terre internationally which contains both Heart of Africa and Edony. The album is released internationally through Universal Music. Another notable track on the album is Linda where he plays tribute to Fela Kuta and Serge Gainsbourg. The album was released in 2004 in the US. In 2003, he worked with Salif Keita on Madan which made the charts across Europe notably France, Italy and Greece. His latest single Rockin' Music has made the top 40 in Australia as at February 2004.
