2025 was a challenging one.

I've played 5 amazing international gigs, 2 in Paris and 3 in Prague and played my first vinyl only set at 💿

We've finally released 2 vinyl EPs and lots of great music digitally on and our sub labels.

I've organized .records events all over Europe in sick venues such as and ☺️

Most importantly, I met some incredible artists who are lovely people along the way and played some very fun B2B sets with and 🫶🏼

In the end I've just released one track of mine, "Hypnotized" on 's label and played "only" around 25 gigs.

But I've realized that prioritizing my health and my partner's one who's suffering from ME/CFS (a severe form of long covid) is more important than constantly chasing gigs and exposure.

There's a lot of work going into both my productions and sets - I'm just sharing a tiny fraction here on social media as I'm convinced that putting love & dedication into your work in is more important than posting about it on social media.
I've definitely grown as an artist and am more confident about my sound, and there are probably more than 15 almost finished tunes on my hard drive.

Thanks for reading and sticking around, I appreciate all your support ❤️
I still absolutely love being a part of this scene and sharing my musical vision with you as a label manager and artist. Excited for what's to come!

Hey friends,

I've just uploaded a new set recording to YouTube!

While I often play very energetic House in clubs, I also enjoy listening to and playing more relaxed, dreamy styles.

That's why I thought I'd record some "home listening" sets for you guys in which I explore some of these genres. ✨️

The first one is focusing on early 90s Balearic House, Ambient House and Dream House which was a big thing in Italy and Ibiza in the 1990s.

Think laid back midtempo psychedelic House with long breaks and transitions, lots of tasty synth pads and a summery, beachy vibe. 🌊

You can get directly to the set on Soundcloud & YouTube via my bio. 🔗

Which genres would you like to hear next? I was thinking about a smooth Jazz House set. Looking forward to hear your ideas!

Sisyphos never disappoints! 🦆
When I arrived in the late aternoon was playing some lovely funky House and Wintergarten felt extra warm and cozy. 🫂

Before the set I just had a rough idea of playing music that sounds like Summer to me.
I started with some of my favourite dreamy 90s Italo/Balearic House tunes and went with the flow of the dancers into a more uplifting, soulful and Disco-infused direction.

It was once again such a heartwarming experience, and at least I forgot how cold and dark it was outside for the 3 hours of my set. 🥰

Thanks again to everyone for dancing and being so sweet after my set, and to my friends for the best 1st row support! 🫶🏼

Some snippets in the following slides so you can catch the vibe!
You can find the full set in my SoundCloud profile - link in bio & story. Feel free to ask for any track IDs!

After visiting beautiful Prague and playing there for the first time in May, I wanted to come back asap.
So being back only 6 months later and playing two more gigs definitely was one of my highlights this year. 🥰

For the evening at I invited the talented and super versatile DJ .garcon while on the next day and had me at for their party series .
It was super nice to meet you all and share the decks with you! 🙏🏼

I think the people in Prague also liked my music as we're already talking about dates in 2026! 🙂

Playing international gigs feels still incredible each time and I can't wait to discover more countries and music scenes in the future. So if you'd like to book me in your city, please give me a holler!

I had a great birthday weekend in Berlin and returned to Leipzig with a full heart, record bag, and stomach!

Thanks again to my lovely friends for the sweet time! 🥰

Once again a classic "25 k steps a day" Berlin experience in the heat 🥵
I didn't take enough photos once again, but please look at my food pictures lol.

Speaking of Berlin, my podcast for @925.bln from Berlin is now online. It has a very summery, funky and uplifting vibe! ☀️

I played some Hip House and Garage classics from the 90s as well as recent tunes by great artists such as and .

You can find it on SoundCloud and on my YouTube channel. 🔗 in my bio!

Cheers and happy weekend fam!

Few things bring me more joy as an A&R manager than finally meeting the amazing artists I'm working with and curating a vibe with them musically. 🥰
More showcases coming soon!

Big thanks to my Brazilian artists and and Berlin-based talent for the sweet evening in Berlin! 🙏🏼

Hope to see you again soon! ♥️

Another highlight was hanging out with before his
set on Sunday. Don has been DJing since the late 70s and has been releasing incredible House tunes since the early 90s that inspires young artists like me to this day.

Don and I are working on something in the background and will hopefully announce more soon! 🤫

Cheers!
