Few could have foreseen the rapid rise of Mikkel Christiansen and Simen Auke aka Broiler when they entered the music scene in 2012. In only a few years time, and over 400 million Spotify streams later, the boys have transformed themselves from minor YouTube personalities into a well established and highly successful DJ/producer duo.
In 2015, their release of “Wild Eyes” – caught immediately fire on the official charts in Denmark, Norway and Belgium. Topping it off with nomination for “Song Of The Year” Grammy in Norway. Meanwhile, their critically acclaimed remix of Imagine Dragons’ ‘Shots - Broiler Remix’ was also making serious waves in the industry. An ‘INCREDIBLE TROPICAL HOUSE RENDITION PACKED FULL OF STRINGS AND COLORFUL MELODIES’ (This Song Is Sick), the Hypem #1 track has now clocked over 250 million Spotify plays and has all but solidified Broiler’s reputation as some of the most talented producers to come out of Norway. Not ones to rest on their laurels, they've kept themselves busy with the release of several platinum selling hits, from the banger
“Money» (feat. Bekuh Boom) to “Lay It On Me”, a beautiful collab with fellow Norwegian artist/ songwriter Ina Wroldsen (the voice from CalvinHarris’ “How Deep Is Your Love”).
At this point, it’s safe to say that Mikkel & Simen has established themselves as one of the most profound hitmakers, and performers to emerge from Norway, and they have no intention of gearing down.
