With his viral 'Sweet Dreams' bootleg and chart-topping Bombalaya Remix, Michael Schlechtinger, aka Blooom, gained millions of streams and 700k+ Spotify listeners, quickly rising in the drum and bass scene.

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 within 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 which drove him headfirst into the intricacies of music production.

Reflected in his influences, ranging from Skrillex to Noisia and Lido, Blooom’s artistic vision gets fuelled by an overarching aesthetic rather than just being based solely across different genres. The diversity of his sound – rooted in an American Hip-Hop addiction, mixed with his underlying penchant for pop music as well as a love for an enigmatic atmosphere – has gained him considerable attention. His 'Sweet Dreams' bootleg rinsed out at every festival (Andy C's favorite), while his much sought-after Bombalaya Remix went straight to the Beatport charts, got over 3mil Spotify streams in 2 months, and turned out as the highest streaming UKF record in 2024. His recent BBC Radio 1 guestmix for Charlie Tee showcases what Blooom is all about, while he still has a lot more in store for the coming period. With passing the 500k monthlies on Spotify, Blooom is set to make his indefinite mark on the drum and bass scene.

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.
