It's been a hell of a year for the Suol label, scoring international chart-topping success on the strength of an uncompromising A&R vision and formidable string of releases. And the man behind it all is DJ-producer, tastemaker, and all-around musical badass Chopstick, AKA Chi-Thien Nguyen.

Suol can only get bigger in 2013, as hotly tipped artists like Till Von Sein, Daniel Bortz, and Tricksi continue to beef up the label's catalog with tasty choice cuts. But a growing international touring schedule will also continue to help the gang convert fans on both sides of the Atlantic.

Recently, Crossfade caught up with Chopstick ahead of his Miami debut performance at the Delano Hotel with Suol co-owner John Jon, Daniel Bortz, and local promotion collective Young Hearts.
