Who’s playing

Clubs. Festivals. And your wedding.

I learned at parties where everyone knew everyone. You play for the grandmother and her grandkids at the same time, or nobody dances.

Weddings I never gave up.

Because a wedding is more than a party. It’s people who have known each other for a lifetime, and you feel that on the dance floor.

Three stages. Same feeling.

I’ve played all over the world, in clubs like Mandala in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Pastel in Bangkok and Instant in Budapest. And just as happily at Sachs in Bochum.

Honestly though.

Why I do this

A wedding is the rare night when everyone is there for the same two people. You still remember it thirty years later. How it feels is to a good part up to me, and I take that seriously.

I’m

Curious. About the world and about people. And I love songs that make moments bigger.

Honestly, I have a track in my head for almost every moment. Music nerd, and a proud one. My friends say I’m faster than Shazam.

The day after a wedding gets very quiet: the theatre, dinner somewhere, because I never feel like cooking on a Sunday. That’s about it.

Dortmund is my harbour. Otherwise I spend a lot of time in Budapest, Bangkok or Porto, and sometimes I head off somewhere on a whim, Riga for example, because I’m in the mood for a certain vibe. I know, that sounds like someone who spent a year in Australia and now starts every sentence with “So in Melbourne …”. But it’s true. I always come back, though, my family lives around here. And since my sister became a mother, all the more.

How I play

I sense early where the room wants to go.

Before I really get going, I look at your guests: how they’re dressed, who talks to whom, who stands at the edge. I have a master’s in psychology and business, which helps me read a room: a dance floor fills up once the cautious ones realise nobody here is going to embarrass themselves. During the night I look up into the room every thirty seconds.

Dinner tells me what will work later.

Grandma and your club friends, one night.

Enough about me. This is about your party.

  1. You take the Vibe-Check, three minutes, no booking.
  2. We talk on the phone and see if it’s a fit. If it isn’t, I’ll honestly recommend someone who fits better.
  3. You tell me what you love and what should never play.
  4. Shortly before the wedding we go through everything in detail.
  5. On the night, the person you spoke to is the one who plays.
