From a rural German town to playing stages around the world, Michael Schlechtinger – also known as Blooom, has had a meteoric rise. His journey began at an incredibly formative age: from fifteen, he immersed himself in electronic music, despite not even being allowed to enter club spaces yet. And whilst many of his counterparts have stories of finding a love for dance music through family ties, it was his own interests that drove him headfirst into the intricacies of music production.
Reflected in his influences, ranging from The Prodigy to Skrillex, Blooom’s artistic vision gets fuelled by an overarching aesthetic rather than just a genre. The diversity of his sound – rooted in an American Hip-Hop addiction, mixed with his love for an enigmatic atmosphere – has gained him considerable attention. Besides winning a remix competition for Koven’s anthem “Gold” and releasing on labels such as Monstercat, Hospital, and Liquicity, he is already heralded by the likes of Andy C, Netsky, Camo & Krooked, Friction, Kanine, Fox Stevenson and many more.
With such high-ranking DJ support to passing millions of streams on his Spotify discography alone, Blooom’s name is quickly becoming one of the most hotly tipped currently moving through the ranks. Only just stepping out to show the world what he can achieve, this year has lined up more for his fans like never before, and Blooom is about to further solidify his place within the dance music annals.
