Moksi
Moksi is an Electronic Dance Music artist comprised of two Dutch DJs by the names of Diego Stijnen & Samir Ait Moh. They specialize in house music, and have 698,920 monthly listeners. The duo originally met at a house party in 2014, and bonded over their shared interest in UK Garage style music. They decided to start mixing together, and the first 45 second snippet they were able to create was quality enough to attract the attention of another Dutch EDM group, Yellow Claw (DJs). This snippet turned into their debut EP, "Getting Higher", which was an instrumental release in their musical careers. The release of "Getting Higher" led to Moksi's first professional gig - a performance at Tomorrowland in Boom, Belgium. Following their performance at Tomorrowland, Moksi's music began to spread around the world with the help of their record label, Barong Family.
