I’ve been given the incredible opportunity in life to exchange musical experiences with artists like , and where Marc itself is curating with huge colleagues like oil huntemann, etc .
And what touches me the most about it: Gender roles simply do not matter there.
It’s not about who I am.
It’s about what I create.
Whether it can be felt.
Whether it carries something real.
Music is something we hear first.
Something we feel first.
It is deeply sensual.
Only afterwards do we turn it into a visual story.
A stage.
A face.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the most intense moments I ever had on a dancefloor.
And it was never about looking at the DJ booth.
It was the moments with closed eyes.
When I could simply listen to the rhythm.
Feel the room.
Share that moment with the people around me.
That collective smile.
That celebration.
That feeling of disappearing together for a while.
Escaping everyday life.
Diving into something extraordinary.
And then I had this thought:
What would actually happen if we couldn’t see the acts at all?
A stage. Hidden acts. No focus to the front. And suddenly our attention would return to where it truly belongs:
To the dancefloor.
To the experience.
To listening.
Of course, communication with the act has its beauty too.
You feel connected. Addressed.
But for me, the strongest experiences always happened with closed eyes — simply listening.
And there is something else we often forget:
DJs mostly play music created by other people.
The real sound architects often never stand on that stage.
Maybe the greatest applause should not always go to the person behind the decks —
but to the people creating these sonic worlds.
And maybe this thought also helps dissolve gender roles entirely.
Because the moment we truly listen,
it becomes completely irrelevant who is standing in front of us.
