Honestly, half a year ago I couldnt even leave my bedroom because of my health and now I am dreaming of playing my favourite festival. I am Sebastian, now 24 year old and former DJ, surf teacher & kindergarden teacher from Vienna!

around 3 years ago I got sick with MECFS and my life totally changed. This is also the reason why I am playing this set in my bed on my balcony, because majority of my 20´s have been spent in this bed. During this time I have put my DJ and working life behind, and the little energy I had I put entirely into making music and producing. In just a year we have risen to the #5 of drum and bass artists in all of Austria with 130.000 monthly listeners on spotify.

Luckily I have been making some health progress lately so I can not only focus on making music, but actually live a little more again. Thats why I decided to use my dream festivals dj competition as my comeback and do my first set recording in 4 years. If i win it i get to play a set on this years festival. its in about 50 days and i think i could somehow actually do it!

My second biggest motivation still is raising awareness for MECFS, and thats why I choose this unusal approach of DJing in my bed. You can (sadly) see throughout my performance that my health was an issue. My pulse skyrocketed to 170 throughout, my hands were ultra flimsy and DJing in bed was way more exhausting that i thought it would be. it was more positive stress that I have had in years. Despite that, I am so glad I was able to finalise such a huge project with a wonderful melodic set, and even with multiple of my own tracks. But not only that, there are also different camera angles in this 30 minute recording.

Anyway, i just wanted to share this to spread hope with anyone reading this out here. in my worst i couldnt eat for days, i just made a few steps out of bed if even and i couldnt talk to anyone. It was so brutal and i know the struggles, but i believer everyone is allowed to have hope for better circumstances.

I will post the youtube [video set link](https://fanlink.tv/balconyboilerset) here in case you want to have a look, its really such a chill and creative and safe vibe <3 The music is very melodic summer drum and bass!

Love  
Seb

my friends carried my bed outside on my balcony so i could play my first dj set in 4 years
