Luxembourg Rising: Rome Leads a House-Heavy DJ Radar Board

Luxembourg has six DJs on the DJ Radar board right now. Before any single name, what stands out is the sound. Five of the six list a house style as their main genre: Tech House, House, Deep House, and Melodic House & Techno. Only Samy Sam Beats, filed under Electronica, sits outside it. For such a small board, it has a very consistent accent.

Rome leads the country with a credit score of 701 and 5226 votes, the highest vote total on the board. The Tech House act's platform numbers fit that ranking: 77745 Spotify monthly listeners, 70050 Spotify followers and 226312 Last.fm listeners.

The margin is what counts in the standings. Rome leads second place by 39 points. That's a clear lead but not a commanding one, and a sustained push from below could close it.

Monophona sits at No. 2 on 662 points from 4411 votes and is the board's straight House entry. Its streaming numbers are smaller than Rome's: 4306 Spotify monthly listeners, 3510 Spotify followers, 2316 SoundCloud followers and 16056 Last.fm listeners. The vote count still keeps Monophona 41 points clear of third.

The closest contest in Luxembourg is for third. Yenn holds it with 621 points, and Sun Glitters is just 8 points behind on 613.

Yenn plays Deep House and has built his position on 3669 votes, with 8612 Last.fm listeners and 877 Spotify monthly listeners. Sun Glitters comes from the Melodic House & Techno side, with 87318 SoundCloud followers and 164707 Last.fm listeners on his profile.

One detail stands out. Sun Glitters reached fourth on 2008 votes, fewer than anyone else in the top five. On this board, the number of votes alone doesn't decide the order.

Samy Sam Beats is fifth on 554 points and is the board's only Electronica entry, the one clear break from house in Luxembourg's ranking. He has more votes than Sun Glitters, 2040 to 2008, yet sits 59 points lower. His profile lists 4505 SoundCloud followers.

Pietro Fornara completes the board in sixth with a credit score of 185 from 303 votes. He is 369 points behind fifth place, so he has the most ground to make up and the most room to move. He also shares a genre with the leader: like Rome, Pietro Fornara is listed under Tech House.

Read from top to bottom, Luxembourg's board has a clear shape. Tech House sits at both ends, with Rome at No. 1 and Pietro Fornara at No. 6. In the middle, Yenn and Sun Glitters lean deeper and more melodic, Monophona keeps to classic House, and Samy Sam Beats adds the Electronica.

Scores run from 701 down to 185, but most of the competition is in the top four, where no gap is bigger than 41 points. Watch the 8-point fight for third first, then whether anyone can close the 39 on Rome.
