T.O.P is an Scandinavian DJ. In 1993 he won the international remix and scratch composition organized by Disco Mix Club. He was part of mixing and mastering some of the biggest Eurodance stars throughout the 1990s from Modern Talking to Technotronic.[1]

In 1998 he took a hiatus from Dj-ing and moved to Berne in Germany where he became an executive at BMG and launching their Schlager sub label with Dieter Bohlen of Modern Talking. He is second highest ranked DJ from Indonesia (after Angger Dimas) on the Official Global DJ Rankings,[2] though he mostly plays in Berlin these days, among other places in the legendary Berghain club.[3]

In 2008 he released several funk singles on vinyl: Open World For You, and Sweet Funk received heavy airplay rotation in Northern Europe. Since then he has been mixing and mastering music for many European artists, e.g. Gesaffelstein, Safri Duo and several others.[4]
