For Heroic Labs' 10th anniversary, I had the opportunity to play at the KölnSKY rooftop terrace during Gamescom – my first open-air set above the roofs of Cologne. What's more, in glorious August summer weather. International guests, sundowner vibes, and a musically diverse evening made the gig something special. An event that shows that trade fair parties can also work brilliantly outside the exhibition halls.

The OMR Festival in Hamburg was particularly exciting this year: not only did I get to rock Taboola's stand party, but I was also able to accompany Sage's morning kick-off party as a trade fair DJ. Two gigs at one trade fair - from a party atmosphere to a morning energy boost, it was all there. Read here what made the gigs so special and why the OMR Festival is always a real highlight for me as a DJ →

As part of the FIBO trade fair in Cologne, I had the honour of DJing at a fitness provider's stand party. This time, however, not directly in the exhibition halls, but at an evening event in KölnSKY with a view of the cathedral. My client Life Fitness wanted to give its guests a conscious change from the hectic and noisy everyday life at the trade fair. I accompanied the guests' relaxed networking with relaxed background beats. →

My first DJ gig for the customer Medifox Dan at the ALTENPFLEGE trade fair in Nuremberg was a real highlight. The atmosphere at the stand was great and I was able to get the staff dancing with a mixture of hits and party tracks so that nobody wanted to leave the dance floor at the end. You can read here why I always enjoy DJing at exhibition stand parties at the Nuremberg trade fair and what you need to bear in mind on site →
