Davyboi, a DJ and producer with Polish roots, is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting new names in Europe’s rising hard-dance and trance scene. Born on the dancefloor, he blendsadrenaline-charged grooves with heart-stirring melodies, never staying in one lane and never letting the energy drop.
Driven by an instinct for movement, his signature style fuses trance, eurodance, and hard house between 148–155 BPM. Energetic, emotional, and built to lift the crowd higher with every drop. What began as a passion project in Munich’s underground has evolved into a distinct sound marked by fast transitions, bold track selection, and a deep understanding of what makes a crowd move.
Piece of Road Gear #1: Strymon blueSky Reverb Setup
What I always carry on is my reverb, which I plug into the Xone mixer. I use it as an extra creative tool to build tension and atmosphere throughout my sets. It gives me another layer of control beyond simply mixing tracks and helps me create moments that feel much bigger on the dancefloor.
I use reverb a lot when I’m playing because I love creating tension before a drop or transition. You hear it more often on the groovier side of electronic music, but not as much in trance, which is exactly why I like bringing it into my sets. Groove is a big part of my personality and my sound, even though I play trance. That reverb lets me blend those two worlds and make my sets feel more like me.
For other DJs, I’d definitely recommend experimenting with effects outside of what everyone else in your genre is already doing. You don’t necessarily need to use reverb, but finding one tool that gives your sets a recognizable character can make a big difference. Learn to use it subtly at first, because effects are best when they enhance the tension instead of taking over the mix.
Piece of Road Gear #2: Macbook Pro Laptop
My laptop is probably the most important thing I travel with because basically my whole working life is on there. I use it to produce music, attend meetings, manage contracts, and do all the other things that come with being an artist. It’s basically my portable studio and office in one, so I almost never travel without it.
Touring also means spending a lot of time on trains, planes, and in airports, and there are always moments where you get bored. That’s when having my laptop becomes really useful because I can turn that downtime into something productive. I can open Ableton, jam around with ideas, search for a new lead, or work on an unfinished track. Sometimes I’ll even finish, mix, or master something while I’m traveling, so those hours suddenly become useful studio time.
I think every touring DJ or producer should have a setup that allows them to work wherever they are. Make sure your important projects and files are organized before you travel so you can open the laptop and start immediately. You don’t need a full studio around you all the time; sometimes a long flight or train ride is actually the perfect place to get an idea started.
Piece of Road Gear #3: Mac Eyeliner
My third essential is definitely my eyeliner. It might not be traditional “gear,” but it has become a real part of my look and therefore part of how I present myself as an artist.
The eyeliner has become part of the way I feel when I go on stage. I love the look because it gives me a little bit of that rockstar feeling and fits the energy I want to bring across. If I arrive at a show and realize I’ve forgotten it, I genuinely don’t feel completely right. At this point, putting it on is almost part of my pre-show routine.
I think having something visually recognizable can be really powerful for an artist. But the important thing is that it has to feel natural to you. Whether it’s eyeliner, a certain accessory, or something completely different, find what genuinely fits your personality and make it your own.
Piece of Road Gear #4: Tie + Cut-Off Shirt
My tie and cut-off shirt are probably the most recognizable parts of my stage outfit. At this point, they’re more than just clothes; they’re basically my uniform whenever I play. They’re simple pieces, but together they have become strongly connected to my identity as an artist.
I’ve made a rule for myself that I don’t play shows without them. The combination has been part of my look for a long time now, and I don’t see myself changing it because it feels completely natural to me. Over time, the community around me started recognizing the style as well, which makes it even more special. What started as something I simply liked wearing has gradually become part of the whole Davyboi world.
My biggest advice is to think about something that already feels like you and build around that. Maybe you always wear a certain hat, glasses, or bandana; if it genuinely represents you, stay consistent, and people will eventually start associating it with you. That kind of identity grows naturally when it comes from yourself rather than from trying to recreate somebody else.
Quick Fire Tips for Touring and Living Life on the Road
Tip #1: Turn travel time into useful time whenever you can. A long train ride or flight can be the perfect moment to work on music, organize things or simply get ahead before the next show.
Tip #2: Always keep your most important essentials together and make them part of your routine. When you’re constantly moving between hotels, airports and venues, having a system makes it much harder to forget the things you actually need.
Tip #3: Protect your energy, because touring can destroy your routine very quickly. Get sleep whenever you can, drink enough water, and don’t treat every night on tour like you have to stay out until the very end.
Tip #4: Find little things that make you feel like yourself wherever you are. Whether that’s your stage outfit, a pre-show routine or something you always carry with you, familiarity helps when everything around you is constantly changing.
Tip #5: Give yourself as much buffer time as possible when traveling to a show. Delays happen all the time, so arriving a little earlier can save you a lot of stress. If possible, avoid planning things too tightly and give yourself enough time to get to the hotel, eat something, and reset before heading to the venue.
