Multi-gold-awarded artist Samy Deluxe and grammy-awarded producer/beat-maker Conductor Williams presented an electrifying set at Levi's Music Studio right at Millerntor stadium of FC St. Pauli. The session was full of features by upcoming (Milaa, Bria) and well-known artists like Afrob.

German Creative Economy Summit

I was invited to speak at GCES 2026 which was happening at Kampnagel, Hamburg: "Back to Real Life? Wie physische Orte zwischen Digitalität, Inszenierung & Begegnung neu verhandelt werden"

Together with Marvin Bratke (Beta Realities) and Dara Sepehri (3STN), I discussed the future and significance of physical spaces in our increasingly digital world.

Thees Uhlmann @ Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

In January, Thees Uhlmann performed two sold-out sets at the world-renowned Elbphilharmonie. During the evening performance, I produced the exclusive broadcast mix and managed the technical delivery of the live stream.

To faithfully capture the unique character of the Grand Hall, I deployed additional room microphones to record the venue's natural sound. My goal was to translate the immersive atmosphere of the performance into a high-fidelity broadcast.

Sonic Days @ Kolding, Denmark

For any professional dedicated to immersive audio, Sonic Days is a revelation. My experience at the 2024 summit was great, making it an instant fixture in my calendar.

The event offered unparalleled access to industry giants, including four Grammy-nominated immersive producers: Justin Gray, Michael Romanowski, Morten Lindberg, and Hans-Martin Buff. Beyond the panels, I dived into the future of sound with visionary partners like Sound Particles and Neumann.

Pictured atop, I’m exploring Neumann’s Virtual Immersive Studio (VIS), presented by Patrick Greppi (Neumann) on Apple Vision Pro.

badchieff

For the second Unterm Dach session at the Millerntor stadium of FC St. Pauli, platinum- and gold-awarded artist badchieff delivered an intimate yet electrifying performance from the Levi's Music Studio. Surrounded by a warm, living-room atmosphere right next to the pitch, the session captured his unmistakable energy and artistic depth in a truly special setting.

Reeperbahn Festival

During the Reeperbahn Festival 2025 I mixed front of house for great artists such as VIA Award Winner 2025 Vandalisbin (see picture above). I was responsible for all evening shows at club Häkken.

We had 23 artists on stage in 4 days.

I couldn't have done it without Jannik Beßert (stage & monitor mix engineer, D&S Veranstaltungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG) and Sarah Lu Maggiore (stage management, OHA! Music GbR).

Raum & Klang: Spatial Audio Network Conference

The wonderful team at ZiMMT in Leipzig, Germany, brought together this incredible group of experts. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with like-minded individuals who are breaking boundaries in their respective fields.
Talks covered subjects as spatial audio for live venues (Banu Sahin: 3D audio for live music, Felix Deufel: DJing in 3D audio), audio formats (Daniel Rudrich on Ambisonics) and interconnectivity (Mathieu Delquignies: ADM-OSC). In terms of production for 3D audio, I was impressed by the 4DSOUND technology and Poul Holleman's approach, which was clearly art-driven and spot on. I also found hauptmeier|recker's art to be very inspirational.

Port des Lumières

I planned and integrated additional audio equipment for the opening event and press conference of Port des Lumières in Hamburg, Germany.

my philosophy

I live & I learn

dennis bajer portrait at bauhaus studio

I am an expert on immersive audio production, a field that aligns perfectly with my identity as an artistic engineer. My approach centers on crafting immersive sonic worlds that envelop listeners, drawing them in until they lose themselves entirely in the essence of sound.

Music has always been at the center of my life – a passion that drives everything I do. My journey began at Elevate Studios, where I started as an apprentice during my Media Technology B.Sc. studies at HAW Hamburg. Over time, I honed my skills and grew into my roles as an audio engineer and music producer.

In 2017, I co-founded Scotch & Water, a band that became a pivotal chapter in my career. Touring internationally and performing at iconic showcase festivals, I gained invaluable experience in live mixing.

From 2019 on, I have been working as a live sound mixing engineer. I worked with myriad artists, creating memorable live sound experiences.

In 2023, I was drawn back to the studio and transitioned into broadcast production, joining ARD tagesschau/tagesthemen as a freelance Toningenieur, mixing Germany's most-watched news program for an audience of about 10 million daily.

where the magic happens happened

07/2026 Update: I am curretnly building an immersive studio at Königliches Proviantamt, in a brand-new studio complex together with Elevate Studios & Alexander Luebbe.

I have had the privilege of working in an incredibly inspiring space: Karl Schneider's personal studio atop his villa in Hamburg, Germany. As a leading Bauhaus architect, Schneider has been sitting in this room surely following the Bauhaus ideal — where modern technology meets artistic expression in balance and without separation of the two. I learned to embrace this principle more and more over time and it is the core of my work today.

“Let us then create a new guild of craftsmen without the class distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist!”

— Walter Gropius, Bauhaus manifesto 1919
