Broiler is a Norwegian record producer and DJ duo in the electronic music genre, consisting of Mikkel Buxrud Christiansen (born 22 April 1992) and Simen Auke (born 22 April 1991). From 2011 to 2013, they were known as DJ Broiler. They found success online in late 2011 with their dance tunes with comical elements, but have since focused on professional remixing and own songs without comedy.

Christiansen had some success with "Navy Seals" featuring F. Genius in 2011, while Auke had major success with his song "Cannabus" under the pseudonym SimenA. "Cannabus" charted on the Norwegian Singles Chart for two weeks, peaking at 15.

DJ Broiler released several singles and got famous for their funny videos, which often portrayed and parodied the life in the suburbs and local cities around Drammen. They released "Afterski" in November 2012, which instantly became a hit and charted on the Norwegian Singles Chart, peaking at number 3. In May 2013 they released "Vannski", which reached number one in its third week of charting and became their first number one hit in Norway. "En gang til" was released in June 2013, reaching number 8 on the Norwegian Singles Chart. Their debut studio album The Beginning was released on 4 November 2013, reaching a peak of 6 on the Norwegian Albums Chart. The album also includes the single "Bonski", which reached number 5 on the Norwegian Singles Chart. On 29 November 2013 Broiler released the Episode 1 EP, which peaked at number 19 on the Norwegian Albums Chart. The EP includes the single "Colors", which later reached number 18 on the Norwegian Singles Chart.
