Feb 12 Solomun live in London

Solomun arrived at Alexandra Palace during the first weekend of February and delivered something that felt personal, even amid the grandeur of the Great Hall. Two sold-out nights, five hours each, and every moment seemed to carry weight. This was not just another touring stop. It was a memorabilia occasion, the kind that lingers long after the last track fades.

His set moved through time and genre with introspection. German hip hop collective K.I.Z appeared to perform their track Samstag Ist Krieg in his remixed form. Antony Szmierek previewed Life Affirmer, unreleased and raw. Inéz from ÄTNA brought her voice to Tuk Tuk, then teased Put That Thing Away, a collaboration still waiting for its moment. These were not gimmicks. They were threads in a larger narrative, woven carefully into the fabric of the night.

What stood out was how deeply rooted everything felt. Solomun's sound carries introspection. It does not chase trends or pander to expectations. Instead, it draws from real electronic music, the kind built on emotion, space, and restraint. His production setup reflected this: art house visuals, moving LED screens, light that responded to the music rather than overwhelming it. The venue became an extension of his creative world, intimate despite its size.

Born in Bosnia and raised in Hamburg, Solomun built his career from hand-me-down tapes and record store digging. He founded Diynamic, championed emerging talent, and created the Solomun +1 series. His 2015 Boiler Room set in Tulum remains one of the platform's most-watched performances. He has played Glastonbury, Coachella, Panorama Bar, and countless other stages, but his focus has always been on connection, not spectacle.

At Alexandra Palace, that focus was clear. The crowd danced from start to finish, not because they were told to, but because the music gave them no choice. It was a night that felt earned, both by the artist and the audience. Solomun left his mark on the Great Hall, and the memory of it will not fade quickly.

We feel fortunate to have witnessed this night. To be present at Alexandra Palace, to experience that sound, that energy, it remains a privilege we hold close with deep gratitude.
