Learn to DJ with confidence.

As an educator, he combines professional DJ technique with musical storytelling, helping complete beginners build confidence behind the decks while learning how to read a room and create musical experiences that genuinely move people.

His approach is simple: learn the skills, trust your instincts, and have fun doing it.

Tristan's DJ journey began in the underground club culture of the mid-1990s. After stepping away from the decks for many years and becoming immersed in the corporate world, a personal and spiritual journey, driven by curiosity, eventually led him to discover Ecstatic Dance in 2014.

His first experiences on the ecstatic dance floor completely changed his relationship with music and movement, reigniting a passion for DJing. In 2016, he went on to found Ecstatic Dance Koh Phangan, which has grown into one of the world's longest-running weekly ecstatic dance communities, and later co-founded Ecstatica Festival, an international conscious festival born in Thailand and hosted in Sweden and Slovakia.

Tristan has since performed at festivals, retreats and transformational events globally. He has also DJed for Mindvalley University and A-Fest Ibiza, creating musical journeys for thousands of people at some of the world's leading personal development and conscious community events.

Alongside performing, Tristan has decades of experience producing events and facilitating dance floors. At the heart of his approach is something simple: "You have to LOVE what you're doing."

When a DJ is genuinely passionate about the music they're playing, moves with it and has fun behind the decks, people feel it on the dance floor.

Tristan brings this embodied enjoyment and his own zest for life into his teaching, encouraging students not just to learn the skills, but to trust their musical taste, play the music they love, and let their own energy and enjoyment become part of the experience they create.
