DJ Maikelzito is one of Norway's best and most versatile DJs, and is known for creating a good atmosphere. This evening will hardly be an exception. He mixes everything from urban to tropical music styles and plays most of the Latin, funk, urban, disco, r&b, boogie, house and disco. Since 2001 he has played both at home and abroad, as well as warming up for artists such as Richard Buena, Karpe Diem, Abidaz, Dead Prez, Don Omar, Snoop Dogg, Redman, Daddy Yankee and The Game. He has also proven himself to be a very skilled producer and also makes mixtapes and radio shows.
Chino is a Norwegian-Chilean artist who in 2025 has impressively demonstrated his impressive breadth through three strong releases. The album "QDSLP" was praised for its depth and distinctiveness, followed by the darker and more intimate EP "Kuldepunkt2. In contrast came the playful single "Spinat Pirat", with sun and energy from Rio. Now he is relevant with "Habiba" - a personal song where he sings in Spanish for the first time, in collaboration with Arshad Maimouni. His music draws inspiration from both Latin America, North Africa and Europe, and moves seamlessly between genres, languages and expressions.
With a background from the streets of Greenland, Arshad Maimouni has become a hot name within the r&b genre and has now taken the step to become a more mature and established musician with a velvety voice and a falsetto of the highest class. His releases have received good reviews and NRK P3 has already proclaimed him one of the country's most important r&b artists.
