Goodbye to Valeri Manera, author of Cristina D'Avena's hits

The French DJ Martin Solveig has announced his retreat

The French DJ Martin Solveig has announced his retreat. 48 years old, known in Italy for the “Hello” hit, which in 2010, together with the dragonettes, catapults him to the head of the international charts, the musician made it known that he will no longer exbire behind the console. The announcement came last Saturday, during a DJ set in Solveig at the French music festival Les Vieilles Charrues: it was his only performance of 2025 and his first live appearance since November. “It is a special moment – Solveig said at the crowd of 70,000 people – for life, every time I went up on stage I said to myself: ‘It sounds as if it were your last concert’. Until that moment arrives. Some of you have been following me for decades. Thanks for coming, I know some come from afar. Some of you will take my place. Thank you for being here, from the deep of my heart. “

Solveig then confirmed the news with a post on social media, but specifying that he will not leave the world of music: “I leave the stage with a full heart, taking a step back for the next generation. You will find me among the public, to cheer for them at concerts and festivals. To new beginnings “.
