Noa Beach Club Croatia (#10 DJ Mag 2025), Shôko Barcelona (#7 best club in the world), O Beach Ibiza. Invasion Festival Yangon presented by Heineken, and Thingyan Water Festival presented by Red Bull. Official DJ for AYO & TÉO — whose hit "Rolex" surpassed one billion YouTube streams. Tomorrowland Academy certified.
