two nights in beautiful brighton, a proper pub night out, two first live-shows in the uk at the @greatescapefest in just one day and heaps of new and old friends along the way 🌀 thank you for having me, i fell in love with this place and can't wait to come back for my own tour in november! also a massive shoutout to @rockcity_hamburg for making this happen and to @philippscholz_ for helping me out on the road 🫶

released in 2007, it soundtracked a whole generation’s coming of age, from bloghouse parties to tumblr mood boards and myspace profiles! 'kids' by @whoismgmt - synths, nostalgia, chaos 🌀 a song about growing up in a world that doesn’t make sense... somehow still hitting even harder today, so i took it right to the disco 🪩

april's random access memories 🛝 why do i always forget to take any pictures!?? i'm terrible at capturing all the small (and big) things, but sometimes i manage and as you can see these past few weeks weren't tooo bad, all fun and games 🕹️ got nominated for an award, played ibiza for the 1st time, joined a proper songwriting camp where i met heaps of nice people and ended up not losing chess every round we play 🤞

hey friends 🪩 so stoked to say: live '25 is not over!!! i know my first tour only just happened in january, but it was so sick we decided to go again and also wayyy longer this time 🥁 feels completely surreal to see all these places on my own schedule - and i'm beyond excited to bring the show to:

26.11.2025 - manchester - yes
27.11.2025 - brighton - dust
28.11.2025 - london - the lower third

still smiling and buzzing after a night of pure disco bliss on ibizaa island 🍒 visited @pachaofficial as a guest almost ten years ago, and it felt sooo surreal coming back to share the stage with @purple_disco_machine & @mousstigram 💟 thank you all for having me and for bringing that energy - hope to be back soon!! love xx david

in two and a half hours i'll play my first two and a half hours at @pachaofficial 🍒 so crazy excited about this big ibiza night out with 2 legends: @purple_disco_machine and @mousstigram 🪩 let's goooo xx

been a fan of billie since the start - her intimate songwriting hits deep and finneas’ minimalistic productions have always really impressed me 😮‍💨 ‘birds of a feather’ might be my fav song of them so far and it really showcases her outstanding voice... trying to reimagine it in my world was a very big but also beautiful challenge 🕊️ doing these videos always makes me even more of a fan of the artists i cover! what do you think, did i do it justice? 🪩

clearly remember the first time i heard this song - on the iconic 2000s show 'malcolm in the middle' with bryan cranston 📺 i was still a kid, but ever since then, it stuck with me and always gave me such a special vibe!! so nice to take a closer look at the guitar part, that one-note bass riff - and bringing it to my disco-verse... frieeeends, here’s 'everybody wants to rule the world' by @tearsforfearsmusic but make it 🪩

since i first heard of @greatescapefest in brighton i always hoped i'd once get the chance to go and friends what should i sayyyy... it's happening 🌊 we're heading over for some fish, chips and disco (allll vegan of course) in may, even got that official visual proof on slide two!! who's gonna be around? 🥁

pics taken by @paulevanbecker 🫂

her tiny desk made me question if i could do anything in music (yes, it’s that good - if you haven’t seen it yet, you should) 🙏 sometimes american pop/rap icons don’t click with me, and pop culture isn’t always my vibe, but @doechii is just great. no idea how she does it, but when she performs on that ‘somebody that i used to know’ sample, i suddenly don’t hate it 😳 anyway, had a blast bringing her song ‘anxiety’ into my world - did i do it justice? let me know below! 😈

march '25 reallyy took me places 🎢 from austin @sxsw to amsterdam, brussels and paris with @digitalism to dresden (🤫) to neubrandenburg to hamburg 🌀 met heaps of great people along the way, made new friends, strengthend the bond with older ones, had a bunch of super fun shows, played pickleball, wrote exciting new songs, covered a few and overalll really enjoyed the ride 🙏 spring is everywhere and i'm ready to hit the road again!! analogue pics from texas by @lillaxis 🫶

like almost everyone who's watched it, i instantly fell in love with the movie 'call me by your name' - the dreamy summer vibe, it's very own @tchalamet 🍑😈 and of course the eclectic score! those hidden 80s gems and movingg originals by @sufjan really got me - lost count of how many times i've listened to 'visions of gideon' and 'the mystery of love' 💔 so i took these soothing sounds and turned them into a synth situation! what do you say, mystery solved? always happy to hear your thoughts below x david

i crystalised paris 🔮 reminiscing about three terrific shows with @digitalism this past week with a big smile on my face, thank you for having me!! i'm announcing more shows very soon and another trip to paris will be part of it, can't wait 🙏

thank you very much @botanique_bxl 🪇 what an incredible venue full of great people, music really takes you places!! tonight will be the last dance with @digitalism in paris 🥖 see you at @elyseemontmartre in a bit xx david

24 hours in amsterdam with @digitalism 💚 had the chance to play at beautiful @melkwegamsterdam for the third time in only 5 months aaand once again - it was ace!! thank you all for being in this with me, brussels is next tonight 🪇 #ontour #electronicmusic #livemusic

the song that kept us dancing through the loneliest days of the pandemic - and somehow ended up everywhere, sparking the stutter house movement 🪇 i still remember hearing it in the final scene of 'triangle of sadness' - it literally pulled me out the cinema seat!! i love this track and i had to try and take it to the disco: here's my version of 'we've lost dancing' by @fredagainagainagainagainagain and @theblessedmadonna 🥁

we call the night for 'fame' 🏁 out now!

wrote the vocals with wonderful @dottieandersson �🫂
took the video with wonderful @larsimulation

my very first show in the usa just happened andd it was exactly how firsts need to be: chaotic, overwhelming, crazy, a rush, a rollercoaster... over the past couple of months i've had a lot of firsts and one thing i've learned - you get the energy you give 🥁 and we've had a good laugh and even better dance!! thank you so much for having me @sxsw @germanhaussxsw and thank you @lillaxis for helping me out 🫂 tonight i'm playing another show with my amazing hosts from @goldendawnarkestra at @saharaloungeatx and i think this is gonna be huge, if you're around - don't miss out 🤠 alsooo my new single 'fame' is out today, linked to this post, in my story and available everywhere there's music to be streamed - have a spin!!!

fell in love with @thelastdinnerparty the minute i first heard them... their looks, the sounds, the attitude and their short-film 'prelude' ✨ lately with what i've been doing, it was a no-brainer to me... i just had to try 'nothing matters' 🥁 so here's my disco-version of this stellar indie-rock-hymn: can you tell which lyric i have changed? aaaand overall what do you think, did i do it justice?

captured by @paulevanbecker 🫂

after the tour is before... sooo where should i come next time?!? let us know and we'll try to make it happen 🪩 love these mystique live-shoots by @paulevanbecker from our show in nijmegen in january, showcasing the incredible mirror-signs built by my kindergarden friend @sterlymaus 🙏 can't wait to be back on the road!!!

@the1975 will forever be tied to memories of driving through europe in an old vw bus, crashing on friends’ couches, or friends of friends’. most of all, though, they make me think of playing support for them with my band @poolofficial 🥁 it’s been ages, but that was easily one of the best months of my life: they were kind to us, their fanbase was amazing, and for us, it felt like an internship in what it’s like to be in a breaking indie superstar band... shortly after that tour, their future classic somebody else dropped, and from a producer’s perspective, i think it’s an absolute masterpiece 🫡 i sped it up and gave it my depri-disco twist - what do you think?

omggg in just a few days, we’re crossing the pond for the first time ✨ super hyped to announce my appearance at this year’s @sxsw in austin, texas 🌎 played this crazy huge festival with my band @poolofficial before we were even 21 and had to spend the entire week outside the venues hahaha - relieved to return as a fully grown man, keen to bring my take on indie-disco to the states 🪩 who of my ppl is gonna be around?!

germany is voting this sunday, so i thought - why not turn a 2010-classic into disco and also make it about the election?! because every vote counts in protecting our democracy 🗳️ so here we go: ‘alors on danse’ by @stromae with a few lyric changes. hope this helps convince some undecided voices to join us this weekend 💪

if you're not fluent in french - here's the words in english:
who says loved ones, says mourning
because problems never come alone
who says crisis, says world
says famine, says third world
and who says exhaustion, says waking up
still deaf from the night before
so we go out to forget or we go out to change the system
so we vote, so we vote, so we vote, so we vote

hold on, we're going to ibizaaaa 🍒 joining @purple_disco_machine at @pachaofficial opening weekend alongside @mousstigram - swipe right to see tino teach me how to play 🫶

still remember when i first heard ‘ms. jackson’ by @outkast back in 2000 - like so many times, i was secretly watching mtv while my parents were at work 🤫 then i saw the video, andré 3000 sitting in the rain and on the roof, trying to fix it, and somehow i just knew this song would be one of those soundtrack-of-a-generation ones… and here i am, a quarter-century later, turning it into slowww disco 🪩 what do we say - did i do it justice??

what if the iconic 'end of beginning' by @djotime was funky? 🔮 and if so, what do you think - did i do it justice?

when you do house music, there’s always a fine line between losing the groove and getting too cliché - while working on ‘make it rain,’ the track was starting to feel a bit too predictable with classic drum sounds, sexy phrases, 808 bass… then, out of nowhere, @lie__ning jumped up like, “oh waiiiit, i have an idea…” 🥁 it’s one of those moments that makes collaboration so precious, when they come up with stuff that catches you completely off guard and makes you fall in love with their artistry once again. likeee by casually freestyling a cute german poem on sexy house music ❣️

woke up to find my face on the cover of this stunning playlist with my dear friend and collaborator @lie__ning 🌧️ 'make it rain' is out today and i'm superr proud of us!! this song is a bit different to what i usually do and it's hard to capture it in a 10sec-snippet on insta - i feel like it really needs to be heard from start to finish ✨ if you have a moment, give it a spin and let us know how it made you feel!!

so blessed i get to be in this with you and a tiny part of your musical legacy with this release, @lie__ning ❣️

what if there was a song... 💦 so blessed to have had the opportunity to collaborate with one of my fav artists: @lie__ning - our new song 'make it rain' drops tomorrow and here's how we made it 🪩 super proud of this unique electric journey and excited to see how it resonates with you!!

i closed the shows of my first tour by giving you all a preview of upcoming music: a collaboration with one of my fav artists @lie__ning ✨ here's hamburg only seconds after i left the stage, with 'make it rain' blasting at full volume!!! i'm so excited to finally release this song on friday and can't wait for you to hear it again (and again) (and again) 📹 by @paulevanbecker

what if 'messy' by @lolayounggg was disco?!? tried to keep the originals raw emotion but added a little 🪩 i love to see songs shine in a different light - what do you think, did i do it justice?

was mind-blown that behind the iconic 'end of beginning' by @djotime is stranger-things-actor joe keery 🔮 aaand really enjoyed turning his 80s-retro-rock-gem into something funky - once again realizing how strong of a song this actually is!! so here's my take on 'end of beginning': what do you think, "another version of me i was in it" - did i manage to make it shine in a different light?? ✨

once again captured by @paulevanbecker 🫂

the final show of my 1st tour 'live 25' is obviouslyy happening in my hometown hamburg and of course there's no finish without a proper aftershow party 🎈 super stoked to announce my @zissourecords fam will be joining me on the decks for this special day ✨ can't wait to dance to the selections of @giuliadax_ggg @sarabubamara___ @martin_hufnagel @marco.mascarpone & @djdreamsofzissou - we're opening at 8pm, the concert kicks off at about 9pm and the party starts right after!! if you can't make it to the show, you're of course very welcome to join us for the party (10€ entry at this point) so so looking forward to friday night 🥁

to be honest, when we started talking about my first live tour a few months ago, i was super insecure - like what if nobody would show up... but in the end last nite in berlin was SOLD OUT 😮‍💨 a room full of sweeeet people and the best energy!! the first show is when you realize who’s really listening and connecting with your ideas and i thank you all from the bottom of my ♥️ an absolute dream come true

captured by @paulevanbecker 🫂

only one more night until my 1st ever tour is starting 😮‍💨 about time i announce my opening acts - i asked my friends to be my support!! please come early to enjoy these 12/10 djs on the disco-decks:

berlin @carola_coaster @gent1esoulofficial (slide 2)
nijmegen @tele_romeo (slide 3)
amsterdam @babaganouche_dj (slide 4)
cologne @chris_gruber_fossar (slide 5)
hamburg @zissourecords (xtra announce incoming!)

can't wait to meet you all on the road 🥁
there is still tickets (link in bio) 🤫

went to the first-ever tour of @thexx when they were still a four-piece band, playing to just 100 people back in the day... seen them live multiple times and never stopped listening to their debut album - it's a masterpiece to me ✨ thought it's a great challenge to transform their slow and soothing sound into a proper indie dance thing - so here's my take on 'crystalised' by my childhood heroes 🪩 what do you think, did i manage to make it shine in a different light?

remember this classic? when i was still a kid, watching anton corbijn’s joy division biopic 'control' broke my heart (still highly recommend it) 💔 their songs have always felt so beautifully tragic and especially 'love will tear us apart', which might just be one of the best songs ever written!! covering it felt a bit crazy, but i just love seeing songs shine in a different light - and this one’s veryyy different 🪩 how does it feel, will disco tear us apart?!?

big thanks to @paulevanbecker for capturing and editing this 🫂

#disco #cover #remix

about to pack my bags 'cause it's time for my 1st live-show in '25 🥁 aaaalways wanted to go and now it's finally happening: catch me at @esns.nl eurosonic festival this thursday in groningen!! who's around?! 🪩

hey there, trying something new today 🥁 always loved to play around with songs and see how they sound with a different vibe - so i thought why not share it?! starting this with a track that’s been stuck in everyone’s head lately, i guess: 'messy' by @lolayounggg ✨ the original has such raw emotion, and i wanted to give it a chic groove but keep the vulnerability… what do you think - did i do it justice? and which song should i take to the discoooo next? 🕺

big thanks to my friends @gome_live for inspiring me to do this - if you haven’t yet, check out their videos where they cook songs!

thank you @paulevanbecker for capturing and editing this with me 🫂
