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.

This year's OMR Festival in Hamburg was particularly exciting: not only did I get to rock the Taboola stand party, but I also DJed the Sage Morning Kick-Off Party as an event DJ. Two gigs at one festival – from party atmosphere to a morning energy boost, it had it all. Read here what made the gigs 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 client Medifox Dan at the ALTENPFLEGE trade fair in Nuremberg was a real highlight. The atmosphere at the stand was fantastic, and I was able to get the employees dancing with a mix of hits and party tracks, so much so that in the end, nobody wanted to leave the dance floor. You can read why I always enjoy DJing at trade fair stand parties at the Nuremberg trade fair, and what needs to be considered on-site, here →
