About Me
NEWS . . .
People have been bugging us for new tracks for a while, so here it is;
a myspace exlusive: "Orange crayon"
We have no idea when it's gonna be out, and exlusive means exlusive,
so you DJs out there don't even have to ask!
We're sorry, but you can't have it yet!!!
We will for sure give a release date when we know!
We also made a little mashup of the most popular remixes of "Les Djinns" for you to enjoy!
Our site is up!
www.djumasoundsystem.com
It has a community, t-shirts, member club... the works
so check it out, and give some feedback if you like!
We're officially the most sold track on www.beatport.com! - Ever! Yeah!
And they've made a remix contest, so now you can get the parts on beatport
and make your own Les Djinns! It's probably the most bootlegged track of last year,
and you can hear some of those strange versions on our homepage
Moby made one! His first remix in years! It's on Get Physicals 5 years compilation
We have made a live setup!
We had our debut on the Roskilde festival, playing after Booka Shade in front of thousands of people!
Here's a clip:
ONCE UPON A TIME . . .
A couple of years ago, in the midst of all the etnic inspired cliche' Ibiza compilations and all the afro-house, we sat down with our friend Frantz Thomasen a.k.a. DJ Disse and asked ourselves this question:
is it not possible to make something etnic, but less cheesy - that still works on a floor?
We came up with the track "Les Djinns", which you can listen to in our player (in a shorter radio version). But like all producers would say, I guess, this should be heard on the floor, on BIG speakers! It's been tested and aproved ;)
Our local friend Trentemøller on the other hand, cools it down with an epic, tranced out version, inspired by Detroit techno. This is probably the version you know from the radio!
As always Trente keeps it tasteful, and yet again proves why he's the wonderkid that deserves all the hype. This one has also been Pete Tongs "Essential" on BBC's Radio 1
We've also made a remix ourselves, under the name of Def Jaguar (check the "friends" section), keeping the understatet, techy and moody vibe of Get Physical.
They call it: "Centred around a murky bassline with a moody tone, but not short of funk! Its combination of sexy, bleepy groove and atmospheric chords means that it offers light as well as shades of darkness. This version will have a devastating effect in big rooms as well as intimate clubs!"
This song has been remixed at least into 30 different versions!!!
Many of them being unofficial versions.
You can check out some of the bunch on our homepage
http://www.djumasoundsystem.com
We signed the track to the major label Capitol/EMI, and picked up warm support all the way from the jazzier scene (with the likes of Fila Brasilia, Dorfmeister, Dom Servini and Jimpster) to the harder breakbeat jocks (like Soul of Man, Layo & Bushwacka or Atomic Hooligan) and all the way over to the big rooms (with the likes of Deep Dish, Seb Fontaine and Pete Tong).
You can check out some of the dj responses below
A long story short: we took a dive back into the underground, and are now proud to have been picked up by
Berlin based indie label "Get Physical"
Get Physical is home to some of the contemporary artists we admire the most;
DJ T, Booka Shade, M.A.N.D.Y. and fellow Copenhagen mate Thomas Barfot.
And if you read DJ Mag, you'll see that last year
Get Physical was voted "Best label", "Best compilation" and "Best track"
...to be continued!

This track is awesome one of the most original sounding tracks I've played.... I made it my Killer Cut on the radio show this week. 9/10
Paul Woolford (Various Worldwide)
I liked it, the Trentemoller mix was a refreshing change from his recent material, although it's not something I would play in one of my club sets...
Darren Rock (Various Worldwide)
Trentemoeller and My My mixes are fucking amazing the rest are so so. I will be hammering this to bits over the coming months.
Matt Brown (Various Worldwide)

Zak Frost (Deepblue/Various UK)
I must admit these guys are close friends of mine and I have already been caning this for many months! Has been a previous number one in my chart and a massive club track for me! The original is the one.
Steve Cobby / Fila Brazillia (Various UK)
Just got the Djuma double. B1 [Trentemoller] will work nicely on the warm up tip whereas C1 [The Heads Mix I think] is going straight into my box; the little tub thumper.
Steve Parry (Various Liverpool)
Nice interesting package of mixes, the original mix is cool, but my fave mix is the Trentemoller mix, kind of techie, brake(ish) with proggy overtones and lush melodies, really cool indeed. Breaks mixes are good to, but its the Trentemoller mix. 8/10.
Gordon Kaye (Fez/Various Reading/UK)
Some very interesting things happening here, with A/B1 & C2 all being very usable. Great production all round good reactions.
Dom Moir (Vinyl Addiction London)
Good record! Breaks mix is quite interesting.
Dean Facer (Various Worldwide)
Lots of plays both in the clubs and on the radio!
Matthew Barden (MOS/Various London)

David Parr (Stompa Phunk Brighton)
Mixes are cool! 8/10.
Daniele Davoli (Various Worldwide)
Wicked! Lovin it!
Disastronaut (Sonic Mook London)
The B-Sides should be junked as A & A1/A2 would make a decent 12. I really like A a lot and in Paris it went down best predictably. 7/10.
Subtropic (Experiments Brighton)
Very strong package. Liking A2 best - amazing mix! Should do well.
Jim Shaft Ryan (Various Worldwide)
Very chilled atmospheric vibe - will use for warm ups.

Works in the various guises, inspiring in parts 8/10.

Trentemoller mix is blissfully the best here - beautiful. 8/10.
Mat Carter (Dedbeat/Checkpoint Charlie Reading)
Really diggin this, nice chilled vibes but enough oumph to swing the hips.
Will Saul (Simple/Various London)
Stand out mix for me was the Heads mix, which develops really nicely in terms of the arrangement. The percussion on all the tracks stands out as being really strong. Some of the melodic elements are a bit to ethnic for my taste but a really strong package, that is very well
produced!
Neil Raygun (Various Worldwide)
Superb Pack! Great selection of stuff here. Not sure I can pick a favourite! Will definitely keep playing the breaks mix out...
Mike Monday (Various UK)
Had loads of people asking me what that amazing tribal record was. I think you have to pick your moment with it though! All in all an incredibly original and refreshing package.
Ann D (Headcharge Sheffield)
These tracks are so good I don't know what to say. Reaction is large!
Jon Marsh (Fabric/Various London)
Like the Original cool! 8/10. Is it Rui Da Silva?
Drumattic Twins / Finger Lickin (Various UK)
Big package to cater for all corners! 130 bpm guitars are well handy! 8/10.
Huw Morgan (Electriks/Various Manchester)
Hot tribal beatz! 9/10.
Geoff Ticehurst (Urban Gorilla Sheffield)
Very useful couple of mixes! 8/10.
