Feelgood Vibes! Martin Jensen's 'Solo Dance' will just make you wanna dance, dance, dance. The vocals and sounds are very current with a bubbly nature flowing through. The video is equally on-trend with the crowd throwing down shapes and enjoying the atmosphere. One question you'll be asking is: Is it summer yet?

Martin Jensen’s ‘Solo Dance’ is the breakout streaming and global club anthem set to confirm the young Danish DJ/producer as dance music’s newest European star. ‘Solo Dance’ follows four previous singles (since his debut in 2015) that have clocked up more than 100 million streams between them and landed him Platinum and Gold awards. This single is now signed to 3 Beat, label home of Sigma, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, High Contrast, and many more.

No longer one of Denmark’s best-kept secrets, 25 year old Martin Jensen has attracted a rapidly increasing fanbase. At 2.2 million plus, he’s got more Facebook followers than fellow Danes MØ, Lukas Graham and Volbeat, and last November he became the first Danish DJ since Trentemøller in 2007 to debut in DJ Mag’s annual publicly voted Top 100 DJs Poll.

Martin’s debut single, ‘Sí’, a remix of a Cristiano Ronaldo celebration at the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or, went viral and gained him fans in many Latin countries. His breakthrough came with ‘Miracles’ in 2015, featuring Danish singer Bjørnskov. In 2016, he had his biggest hit yet, ‘All I Wanna Do’, with more than 60 million streams on Spotify.

Though he harboured ambitions to becoming a lighting engineer (and to create lightshows for other artists), the allure of the DJ booth proved to strong for Jensen, and after cutting his teeth in local clubs he wanted to make music his fulltime career. He’s since played festivals all over Europe and South America, scheduled tours in Asia, and made his first Ibiza appearance at the legendary Amnesia.
