About Orjan Nilsen
Dedicated, hardworking, and energetic three words that is probably the best attempt to briefly describe what the Norwegian hot-shot Ørjan Nilsen is about. In the last few years he has been wowing audiences across the planet with his take on what a 21st century DJ and producer should be about.
Born in 1982 in the Norwegian town of Kirkenes, Ørjan has had very little doubt about what he wanted to do with his life, having listened to countless CD compilations, and seeing some of the legends DJing, Ørjan knew that the DJ booth would be his domain one day.
Ørjans work with the dutch label Armada Music started with the track Red Woods released in 2006 under his DJ Governor alias, and over the years Ørjan found his groove, flashing samples of his huge potential, with La Guitarra (2008), Lovers Lane and So Long Radio (2010). Ørjan went on to release his first artist album in 2011 titled In My Opinion which stormed up sales charts and catapulted Ørjan onto the watch-list of every EDM-fan around.
Even though In My Opinion was very successful, Ørjan showed no intention of slowing down, quickly releasing mammoth tracks like Viking, Atchoo (2011) and opening 2012 in collaboration with Armin van Buuren and the aptly titled Belter followed by his own Amsterdam and Endymion before finishing out the year with club-destroyers Copperfield and Filthy Fandango.
As a DJ, Ørjan Nilsen quickly established himself with an infectious blend of all things chunky and groovy, his energy and presence behind the decks has taken him around the world playing at some of the worlds finest clubs and biggest festivals, from Sao Paulo to Sydney and many places in-between. It has been a remarkable journey which resulted in recognition from industry heavyweights.
One thing is certain, there is no stopping this Norwegian prodigy, as he is on a mission, be it in the studio or in the DJ booth, Ørjan Nilsen is determined to surprise, amaze and entertain, and you would not want to miss out.
