DJ Ben Faze DJ Ben Faze: High-energy Open Format, House & live mashups to keep crowds moving

Basic Technical Requirements:
DJ Setup & Booth: A stable, level table or booth surface (min. 1.50m x 0.60m) with 2x standard power outlets.

Audio / Sound System: Pro-grade PA system appropriately sized for the venue/guest count, including a sub-bass solution and a dedicated monitor speaker at the DJ booth.

Inputs: 2x balanced XLR lines into the main front-of-house mixer or active PA system.

To make sure everything runs seamlessly on the night, I just need a quick heads-up on a few key venue details:

Indoor or Outdoor? (Plus load-in access like stairs vs. elevators)

Sound & Lighting: Does the venue have a built-in pro sound system, or should I bring a complete turn-key setup?

Rules & Restrictions: Are there any sound limiters, volume cut-offs, or strict curfews?

Timing: When can we access the room for setup and soundcheck before guests arrive?

Yes, sound & light can be provided in cooperation with a separate company.

Yes, 100%! There will never be any awkward silence.

I always supply curated background music tailored to your vibe before the set starts, during dinner/breaks, and between live sets. We can coordinate the exact style beforehand—whether you want relaxed sunset house, lounge, or upbeat classics—so the atmosphere stays seamless from guest arrival all the way to peak-time!

Once we discuss your event date, location, and requirements, I’ll send you a tailored proposal. To secure the date, a standard performance agreement is signed and a deposit is placed. Due to high demand during peak season, booking 6 to 12 months in advance is recommended.

It’s tough to pick just one venue when you work with world-class international brands, but performing at exclusive high-profile events for Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Beiersdorf—where top-tier production meets incredible international guest energy—is always an incredible atmosphere to play.

Best Gig: My multi-year residency at the Windsurf World Cup Sylt. Playing right on the North Sea beach year after year, taking thousands of people on a journey from golden sunset grooves into high-energy night sets, with the ocean breeze in the background—that open-air energy is unmatched.

Any event where the vibe naturally transitions from cool and relaxed to full-throttle party mode! I love high-end open-air gigs and exclusive brand/wedding events where the energy is electric, the sound system is crisp, and the crowd is open to a dynamic open-format mix.

I started out in the club scene, obsessing over vinyl, beatmatching, and live-mixing. Over time, that passion evolved from local club gigs into full-scale festival stages and high-end event productions.

My experience: Today, I perform internationally as an open-format DJ—ranging from years of beach vibes at the Windsurf World Cup Sylt to exclusive events for brands like Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Beiersdorf, as well as high-end destination weddings. I love bringing a mix of live-mashups, high energy, and top-notch audio production to every set!

Influences
"My influences reflect my open-format style: I’m heavily inspired by legendary party-rockers and turntablists like A-Trak and DJ AM who mastered the art of live-mashups, alongside global rhythm creators who know how to control crowd energy across different genres."

Favorite Artist
"It’s a tie between FISHER and Bad Bunny. FISHER brings that unpretentious, raw, high-octane Tech House energy that immediately ignites a dance floor, while Bad Bunny has completely redefined global music by blending Latin Urbano, Reggaeton, and electronic elements. Balancing those two worlds—tech-driven club energy and global Latin rhythms—defines a lot of my musical DNA."

Greatest Song of All Time
"Sean Paul – Get Busy (or FISHER – Losing It). Get Busy on the Diwali Riddim is an absolute masterpiece of crowd control. The moment those handclaps and that bassline drop, no matter what country, age group, or event you’re playing, the entire room moves instantly. It’s a timeless party anthem."

Absolutely. Based between Germany and Lanzarote (Canary Islands), I regularly perform at international corporate showcases, destination weddings, and open-air events across mainland Europe and beyond, handling all technical logistics seamlessly.

Setup Time:
Typically 60 to 90 minutes prior to guest arrival for standard DJ setups (Pioneer CDJs, high-end wireless audio, and compact lighting). For complex event productions or full live-duo setups, I allow up to 2 hours for soundchecks and lighting focus.

Performance Times:
Highly flexible depending on the event format. Standard corporate and showcase sets usually run between 2 to 4 hours, while full-day events or luxury weddings often cover 6 to 8+ hours—seamlessly transitioning from relaxed sunset/cocktail grooves into peak-time main-stage sets.

I love to perform outside! If it is too hot, I just need some shade, especially to ensure that the equipment will work flawlessly.

They definitely have a say! I don’t believe in static, pre-set playlists—every crowd and event is different.

Before the event, we map out your musical preferences, favorite tracks, and any "do-not-play" lists. I take those guidelines and combine them with live crowd-reading on the night, mixing your favorites into a high-energy set that keeps everyone moving!

The most common words I hear are "electric energy," "flawless music flow," and "incredible crowd reading."

Clients usually mention how smoothly the set transitions from daytime or sunset vibes into an all-out party, without any awkward pauses or cheesy interjections. They also love that I take their music taste seriously while keeping the dance floor completely packed from start to finish!

Yes! Alongside dynamic open-format live-mixing and beatmatching, I incorporate live elements like drum sampling pads and can perform alongside live musicians (e.g., live saxophone or percussion duos) to bring an interactive, high-energy stage performance to your event.
