Biography

The idea was born on a hot summer day on the dancefloor of the trance stage of a fusion festival in 2018 as i quickly realized that a constant stream of misty water can help all the beautiful dancing humans to keep going strong and experience the beauty of getting into a trance and enjoy life. I had a smaller vessel at that time with about 8 liters of water that ran out every 20 minutes because people loved it so much. (which I did for about 5 hours)

Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of taking a spray bottle with them and even if it mostly empties quite quickly.

Thats where I came up with the idea to combine my love of spraying water with my usual task of keeping the group together with a festival totem.

So now I have a 20l tank and a flamingo to spray from up above to serve the lovely humans that want to keep on dancing and provide them a moment of bliss, it is a personalized refreshment experience as i always look out for dehydrated ones, which is especially the case at the hot climate at boom.

I usually walk through the whole stages and stay usually for at least a whole set of a DJ before I switch stages or that I take a small rest.
I also walk around the festival ground to entertain people with a speaker attached to my 20l backpack and to make jam sessions with weird and fun musical instruments.

It is a very hard but very rewarding task to carry this around while dancing and performing (i burn about 6000kcal a day when doing it for approximately 5 hours a day).
But I really love the responses and gratitude i receive from all the people around me and that keeps me going even in the moments that my muscles are tired and sore.

I received so much love at the fusion festival in Germany and boom 2022 that i have a lot of exciting new ideas to upgrade my performance and ways to refresh the dancing humans.
(see some lovely moments that others took at the boom festival here:

Ideas that i wanna implement in my act for boom and fusion 2023:
(approx 5-6 hours a day, or until i get tired :) )

+ Spraying water with a fine mist from about 2-3 meters from the top to hydrate
+ Using a small and big fan to fan a little wind to stay fresh
+ A collection of small perfume-scented essential oils to rub onto people's wrists (consensually) to people to keep them smelling nice and fresh
+ A small massage gun to give someone who needs a back or neck massage
+ A selection of vitamin shots/drinks that I gift to people to feel nourished
+ Slices of fruits and small refreshments on a tray to serve out to dancing people
+ I like to juggle with people and jam with my weird musical instruments when switching stages
+ I give out small positive/inspiring personal notes to make people smile and feel loved
+ And of course dancing and hyping up people to keep dancing and keep loving

These and there are many more ideas I have to constantly think about how to make it a great boom experience for everyone that is dancing in this harsh and hot environment! :)

I performed also at:
Boom Festical 2023 (Portugal)
Fusion Festival 2022 (Germany)
We want your soul 2022 (Czech Republique)
Flamingalo 2022 (Portugal)

I am super looking forward to bringing my ultimate Party refreshment act to some new festivals to refresh the crows to keep on dancing.

With a lot of love and compassion

Questions See more

When do you usually perform?

Daytime, when the sun is out, needs to be warm to spray misty water to make people happy and cool not miserable and cold. 🥶

How much water do you need/use?

I use about 18-20l per 45 minutes/1 hour, then i need to refill. On a 5-7 hour performance its about 100-140l of water. 💦 But it depends of the size of the crowd, at a big venue with thousands of people i empty the tank quicker than at a venue that has hundreds.

For how long do you usually perform?

I usually perform from midday (sun highest and hottest) until sunset,🌞->🌇 but depending on the conditions of the weather I adjust to when it is hot and sunny) ✔️

Where do you usually do your performance?

Warm/Hot and preferably sunny outdoor events to turn sunshine into rainbows. ☀️->🌈
