10 iconic Solomun moments
The best of the big man
He’s so popular, his lookalike is famous
You know you’re big deal when you’ve got your own lookalike. Not that Ben Fhurst is going around as Solomun's professional stand-in, but at least the option is always there. Fhurst is an Australian DJ living in Ibiza and told Pulse Radio last year that he can't go out for a night without being asked for a selfie, bought a drink or asked if he's the Diynamic boss. Sometimes when he's even at a Solomun gig.
But when asked if he ever takes advantage, Fhurst comes across as a down to earth guy: "I’m very committed and serious about my own DJing, I don’t want to be known as that DJ that impersonates Solomun. So as much as my mates egg me on to pretend to be him to blag stuff, I just don’t want to be that guy."
