Discover the hidden architecture of music and emotion 🌿

This experiential workshop invites you to explore how DJs craft journeys – not just mixes. Through deep listening, storytelling and live demonstration, we’ll uncover how music moves energy, builds emotion and creates connection on the dancefloor. You don’t need to be a producer or a technical DJ. Just bring your curiosity, your favorite tracks and a willingness to listen with your whole body.

What You’ll Experience 🎵

Stories from the Booth – behind-the-scenes insights from 25 years of DJ life around the world.

The Anatomy of a Wave – a look inside one of Polarny’s real DJ journeys: track selection, transitions, emotional flow and the art of shaping energy.

Mini Wave Experience – a short live set designed to make you feel the movement of sound and silence.

Collective Creation – together, we’ll build one shared “journey” using selected tracks from participants.

Reflection & Closing – what we felt, what we learned and how to bring storytelling into your own musical practice.

Each participant is invited to send several favorite tracks built into a short wave before the workshop. Selected pieces will be used during the workshop.
