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 1 billion 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. After many years producing english music they made a decision in 2022 to make some Norwegian songs again, with great success and many top list hits. All this lead up to them selling out one of Norways biggest indoor venues in 2024 within 3 minutes.
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.
