Continuing his meteoric rise, the next single “Solo Dance” featured a young singer that wanted to remain unknown. “She wanted to be anonymous and we kept our promise.” Says Martin Jensen, who goes on to explain the idea behind the song’s lyrics. “It’s about going out clubbing, and that it is really only a great night if you’ve been dancing all night long.” With an unbelievable 122 million streams and counting on Spotify, “Solo Dance” is quickly converting new listeners to fans.

It’s just as awesome as reaching the charts in the US or the UK” says Martin Jensen. “It’s amazing and extra awesome because DJ Mag’s top 100 is created by its readers – the fans that actually listen and dance to the music.” Continues the 25-year-old Danish DJ and Producer phenomenon. “Next I’m going to conquer the world!”
