It was that glorious summer of 2015—we were at a festival by Lake Geneva when it happened: David, a founding member who had shaped the quartet so profoundly for nine years, shared his decision to leave the group. An unforgettable pain accompanied us for months; we simply couldn’t process it. Nine years of stories, ups and downs, dreams, and visions—suddenly, all of it became the past, at least with David.
But as crazy as it may sound—he’s back. And here we are in 2025, exactly nine years later, with the incredible feeling of being reunited once again.
David on his return:
Sometimes life takes turns that you don’t think are possible. I experienced one such twist at the beginning of December 2024.
I was sitting in my studio. Working on some videos and got a message. A casual glance at my cell phone.
Blaz.
I was happy inside. We had arranged to meet up in Berlin on December 15 – after we had last seen each other in real life in November 2018.
I looked at the display, read the message and was immediately in another world. 1000 thoughts flashed through my head.
A gateway to the past and future opened at the same time and seemed to merge before my inner eye.
“Would you like to play two concerts with us in January 2025?” it read.
I immediately said YES inside. Before I could even think about it
Nevertheless, my brain first had to think about whether I was able to do it.
It had been over 9 years since I had completed my “first life”. In Perugia for an emotional concert on 15.11.2015. A lot had happened in the meantime:
2 children of my own, starting a family, marriage, various jobs that more or less pushed me to my limits, corona pandemic, living in the countryside in my home country, YouTube, electronic music, pedagogy as my main job.
Playing LIVE was the exception.
Every now and then.
A far cry from the 82 concerts in 16 countries in 2015 😶🌫️
I often heard that there are moments when you have to make a decision.
Now such a moment had come again.
Sure, the concerts, the music at the highest level, the travel, the musical opportunities …
But deep down, I also felt that it would be like “coming home”.
To my second family, which I had left back then without any ifs or buts.
True friendship and sticking together, being there for each other, taking a real interest in each other, fighting together for a goal and burning with passion for the cause.
I had left all of that back then too.
And I haven’t found it again in this form in 9 years.
The rehearsals and concerts in January and February were fantastic. The energy and the liberation of being back on stage was indescribable.
Reunited again!
The dream that I started in 2006 will now continue and we will do everything we can to achieve our boldest goals.
I am looking forward to seeing old friends and new companions again, to magical moments on stage, to frenetic applause.
I would like to thank my colleagues for their trust
This will be unique and I’m looking forward to every second!
I also would like to thank my family and in first place my wife Viktoria to support me in this dicision. The biggest gift a beloved person can make to you: to fulfill your dreams.
It will not be easy –
but as Blaz always said:
Maybe this is really worth all the hard work and crazy organiztion.
