About

Also known as: Orjan Nielsen, Orjan Nilsen

Norwegian DJ and producer Ørjan Nilsen has been a fixture in the trance scene since the mid 2000s, building his reputation through a string of releases on Armada Music that stretches back to 2006. His track "Los Capos" with Colombian producer KhoMha held down the charts for over four months in 2016, and he has teamed up with Armin van Buuren twice, most notably on "Flashlight". His catalog spans four studio albums, from In My Opinion in 2011 through to The Devil Is In The Detail in 2019, plus a remix of Loud Luxury's "Body" that clocked five million streams in just a few months. Beyond the studio, Nilsen runs a biweekly radio show and podcast called In My Opinion Radio, broadcast live on Facebook and YouTube. He also has an ongoing collaborative project with Mark Sixma under the name Nilsix, performing together at festivals. His 2017 track "Iconic" landed at number 25 in the A State of Trance Tune of The Year vote, a result that says a lot about his standing with the trance faithful.
