Sets

Hello lovely people, finallyyyyy here it is: my set from Akasha Festival 2021. 

I will never forget this magical morning. This was just something else... working on the Akasha grounds for weeks and then releasing it all into this 6 hours sunrise set that I got to play. So grateful for this morning and that hell of a vibe!! 

Fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride! 🚀

PS: the reason it took me so long to upload this set is that I had to re-record a little missing part. I played for 4 hours and was then told to stop. So I packed up all my things and unplugged the recorder. As it turned out I was allowed to play another 2 magical hours. I pressed play on my recorder and 1,5 hours into the second part of my set I realized that I didn’t plug the recorder into the mixer. At least I luckily recorded the athmo of that part and was therefore able to recreate the missing piece at home last week. So HERE WE GO! ❤️

So, meine Lieben. Hier ist es, mein Set aus dem Sisyphos.
Ich bin immer noch überwältigt und sprachlos. Es sind genau diese Momente, die die Musik und die Szene für mich so besonders machen. Frieden und Ekstase im Paradies, lachende & tanzende Menschen, so weit das Auge reicht, das Leben am feiern, verbunden durch die universelle Sprache der Musik… Dieser Morgen und Tag war ein ganz besonderer für mich, den ich so schnell nicht vergessen werde. Ich habe mein Herz ausgeschüttet für euch! Und ich hätte mir keine schöneren Reaktionen wünschen können. All diese strahlenden Gesichter sowie die Gespräche an diesem Tag haben mich zutiefst berührt und gefreut. Gänsehaut all over… immer und immer wieder! Danke!
So, nun überlasse ich euch mal meinem Set. „Neeeebel. Ready to go!“ Viel Spaß damit! <3  …und Obacht! In den nächsten Wochen gibt es noch die ein oder andere ganz tolle Neuigkeit.. Haltet die Ohren steif!

Ein Sonntagmorgen am Strand @ Sisyphos, 03.06.2018

So, I finally made it home after a long and exciting weekend at Feel Festival and managed to upload my set. I had the honour to open the Scheune floor with a three-hour sunset-set-set-set. It was beautiful to see how the floor filled up more and more with every track and the weekend slowly started to get crazy. 
Thank you so much Sheepless & Feel Festival for inviting me. I had a blast! <3

My closing set of the Neverending Story stage @ The Gardens of Babylon's first three day festival: The Monastery.  
It was such a special moment for me to close that stage after having experienced the beauty of this festival the whole weekend before.
Closing or morning hour sets are always the most special ones to me, as a dancer as well as a DJ. The energy and vibe is just different... Anyways, have fun on this little journey with me <3

Once again, thank you soooo so fucking much Sisyphos! 🦆 I hate to use those standard expressions, but anyways: 
This was one for the books!! <3

Thank you for showing me your love in so many different ways... It's not like I would need the confirmation of others to know that I'm investing most of my life's time in doing the right thing but still, it is so fulfilling to hear, see and feel that my music is not only touching me but also many others.

Have fun with the recording and see you soon! <3

Noch mehr Wahnsinn

What better way is there to celebrate a sunny day than with a spontaneous back 2 back on the beach @ Sisyphos?

Here it is, my set from this years Feel Festival! <3 
I must say, I find it always quite difficult to play short DJ-Sets because it doesn't give me the time I need to really experiment and explore different moods. So, knowing that I would only have 1,5 hours to tell my story I tried to not stick to one mood but explore a lot of different tracks and play a rather diversified set. I feel like after 4 days of festival this can be quite refreshing! I ended up playing a little while longer after all but I decided to only load up the first 1,5 hours of my set anyways. 
Thanks to everyone that stopped by and made this possible. Looking forward to everything that's yet to come. Picking up a lot of inspiration on this little festival journey which I'll translate into loads of new music soon!   
With love,
Fabian

Es war einmal... und wird wieder sein! :) 

One year ago around the same time I opened the Strand floor at Sisyphos on a sunny Sunday morning. Once again it turned out to be quite a special and memorable one for me... The atmosphere on this morning was just from another planet. 

Goooooood, how I miss this... It makes me really sad to be missing out on this at the moment, as I, and probably many others out there, would so desperately need this right now. Not being able to play my music out loud to an audience is really tough for me, since I've spent so much time in the studio lately.

But anyways, being too sentimental isn't the solution either so I decided to upload my set from last year. I get goosebumps every time I listen to this set, those memories are still so vivid even one year later. 

So, I raise my imaginary glass of Sekt to everybody that shared this moment with me and will share it with me virtually. 

A big hug!
Yours,
Fabian

Es war einmal... @ Sisyphos, Strand / June 2019

I played a few smaller gigs this year, here and there. Though I must say, nothing beats a proper festival performance. Saturday to Sunday night from 2.30 until 5.00 I had the honor of playing @ Wilde Möhre's Puppenräuber. What a beautiful experience this was all around!
An integral part of my life has been missing for the past months, almost a year even if you also count the winter months. It felt like this set released a lot of tension that accumulated during the quiter months before. 
The next months during this neverending pandemic will be tough, but I hope this set will shine a little light over them. 
Let's hope for the best for 2021! 
See you soon xX
Fabian

‘Music is my anchor, my passion, my favorite form of expression’, Fabian says, adding: ‘I want to surprise’. It’s this belief in freedom that drives his work as an artist, unafraid to experiment and craft a profoundly personal sound in the process. A juxtaposition often sits at the heart of his tracks, as Fabian sprinkles lush or mischievous melodies over springy, sometimes elastic and other times static rhythms, nodding to organic and minimal house at once. It’s Fabian’s deep-rooted feeling for sound that fuse these disparate motifs into an irresistible whole as his productions unfold and flourish with intricate details and surprising touches, always united under a tight groove.

All of these addictive attributes are equally omnipresent when Fabian helms the booth – with a nonchalance rooted in pure joy that’s perceivable in an instant. Here, again, he intrinsically becomes the storyteller, weaving an authentic narrative while turning the room upside down. Whether that’s with a sunny selection at Sisyphos Strand, peak-time power at Bucht der Träumer, Wilde Möhre or Feel Festival or a dubbed-out affair for Afterhour Sounds. While by no means a recent presence in Berlin with past gigs at favourites like Kater Blau, Sisyphos, or Ritter Butzke, the last years took Fabian further afield to festivals like The Monastery, Feel, scene highlight ADE or shows around the world in Tulum, Zanzibar, New York, Istanbul, Amsterdam and many more. 

With itchy feet for the floor and a bright future ahead, Fabian’s firmly set sail to return to the booth – enabling big emotions and wide smiles in the meantime by way of his ever-evolving, always-sparkling music.
