From the garden to the festival stage

Clubs, beach bars and festivals are where I play most often. I bring that experience to every private party.

Most of my more than 250 shows since 2022 were in clubs, at beach bars and at festivals: Salito Beach, Kamping Kitsch, Lokerse Feesten, Legacy Festival. You learn fast what a dance floor needs. I use the same approach at a 40th birthday or a garden party with 80 guests.

Always with a DJ

Live percussion is played on top of a DJ's music. If you don't have one, I'll bring one from my network.

Questions about parties

Question not listed? Send me a message.

Does live percussion work for a smaller party?

Yes, also for 40 to 80 guests. For a smaller party I often choose digital percussion through the DJ's system, so the volume stays in proportion. Mention the space and number of guests in your request.

Which music works best with a djembe?

Afro house, latin house and retro house. That's where the djembe sounds strongest. The digital instruments fit any genre, including party hits and classics.

Do you play outdoors, in a garden or marquee?

Yes, as long as there's power and the setup stays dry. A marquee or covered terrace is fine. Keep the neighbours and local rules on outdoor music in mind.

How far ahead should I book?

For a summer Saturday, ideally three to six months ahead. Other dates often stay free for longer. Check your date with the form.
