Biography

Planet Earth Raver & Ongoing Electronic Music Designer.

Focused on the Future sound of electronic music Flashmob has used the COVID none touring period to craft a brand new sound influenced by the ’90 skyrocking the world with his Beatport N. 1 and Top 10 Overall track “Closer" already a summer hit.

With the mammoth breakthrough single "Need In Me" (Defected), Flashmob rocked the ever crowded electronic music stage and enjoyed that rare sense of worldwide dance floor love.
