At the heart of that story lies his newest creative venture: ALWAYS 3 AM.
“ALWAYS 3 AM is meant to be more than an event; it’s a brand and a creative pla- tform. Together with my partners, I want to build something lasting: events, visual identity, maybe even a label. The idea is to curate line-ups called the GUEST- LIST, with a clear artistic vision, not just random bookings. I want to support upcoming artists and producers who share that sense of purpose. The core idea behind ALWAYS 3 AM is that every hour of the night matters; at any time, it can feel like main time.”
The Culture of Connection Every
project GUESTLIST touches
carries his sense of authenticity. His collaboration with Berlin-based streetwear brand Kneipensport is proof of how deeply intertwined music and nightlife culture have become.
“The collaboration with Kneipensport happened completely by coincidence, first at an event, then again in a Berlin pub. Max, the founder, and I instantly clicked; we share the same humor, taste, and energy. We came up with the idea for a collab that same night, and it grew naturally from there. The design reflects the nightlife and party culture that both our audiences connect with. I’m super proud of how it turned out. It feels real, authentic, and true to the scene we represent.”
When speaking about trance, his tone becomes almost philosophical. He sees the genre’s revival not as nostalgia but as a process of renewal, an evolution shaped by today’s global soundscape.
“I see the current trance wave as both a rebirth and an evolution of the genre. In the early revival phase, a lot of it was dominated by pop-trance edits; it felt over-commercial. Now it’s becoming deeper and more individual again, with every artist adding their own DNA. I try to respect the old-school roots while still pushing the sound forward. Re-interpreting melodies, synths, and basslines isn’t copying; it’s reinventing with purpose. To me, that’s the essence of keeping trance alive in 2025.”
That presence defines his artistic philosophy as much as his future plans.
“Next year is going to be full of releases. I’ve got several collabora-
The Artist and the Legacy
What makes DJ GUESTLIST stand out in a scene overflowing with image and noise is his presence. He performs with his eyes open, connected, aware, and grateful.
“Touring can be exhausting; there are weekends when I take four flights in three days. But the moment I step on stage and see the crowd’s energy, everything makes sense again. That’s when I remember exactly why I do this, because of that pure connection. You can’t fake a real connection; it has to come naturally through the energy in the room. I’m deeply grateful to live this life, to share music, and to see people losing themselves in it.”
tions and solo projects lined up. We’re expanding ALWAYS 3 AM into a stron- ger event brand with more concepts and locations. I’m excited to travel, play in new countries, and maybe even start my own tour soon. For me, success means being happy with what I do, not just doing more. I want to stay balanced, play the right shows, and keep evolving as an artist. The legacy I want to leave is about passion, honesty, and staying true to myself, both on and off stage.”
DJ GUESTLIST’s journey is one of
balance: between drive and reflection, crowd energy and inner purpose. His decade-long climb from local decks to international festivals mirrors the evolution of trance itself, a sound that refuses to fade, constantly reshaped by artists who live it as truth. Through his music,
his events, and
his vision of community, GUESTLIST reminds us that the real magic of the night lies in its timelessness. At 3 AM, or any hour, the beat still matters.
