My MUsic

In each of our BEATZ of Bliss dance rituals, we invite you to make dancing your own journey.

With a guided departure and safe arrival – with the feeling of your inner impulses, which are allowed to show themselves in outer movements, as YOUR dance.

The DJ set is created live and put together sensitively. The room is filled with sounds, melodies and rhythms; sometimes soft and flowing, sometimes electronic and spherical, sometimes beaty and powerful, with a high proportion of electronic music from a wide range of genres.
As a rule, a set begins calmly and solemnly, develops into a climax over time and ends with a meditative finale.

A dance journey that invigorates and touches you – to let you go and arrive.

In my sets, I draw on everything that inspires me: healing mantras, driving beats from organic or afro house, tribal influences, a pinch of trance and – because sometimes I can’t help it – music that makes you sing and dance, even if you’re just listening. For me, it’s not about getting a crowd to go wild. I want you to let yourself be carried by the sound – to get up, let go, dive down and at some point just be in the flow.
That might sound pathetic – but hey, that’s passion. So: dance as you are. And if you lose yourself? Don’t worry. Maybe you’ll find something you didn’t even know you were missing.

Bio

Music has been an important part of my life since I was a child. Both passively and actively. It started with a questionable phase of several years on the home organ, which I owe my knowledge of musical basics to. Later I got serious – I played keyboards in various bands or put together my own tracks with a friend in a low-budget basement studio.

These years taught me that sound is much more than just tones. They are frequencies that gently embrace you, lovingly slap you in the face or subtly bounce you up and down on an inner trampoline. I can still feel this energy today – on the dance floor and beyond.
