My DJ sets are journeys—genre-bending soundscapes where classical artistry meets the energy of the club. I seamlessly blend orchestral works, soulful jazz, boundary-pushing electronics, and contemporary beats to create immersive musical experiences. Each set is curated with sensitivity to the venue’s atmosphere and the desires of the audience—always ready to shift from contemplative ambient explorations to exuberant, dancefloor-driven moments.
Rooted in my work as a musician, composer, curator, and sound therapist, my approach revolves around communication and the dissolution of musical boundaries. For me, music isn’t just sound – it’s a catalyst for connection, emotion, and new perspectives. Classical music flows naturally into modern grooves, while live instrumental or vocal performances can expand the DJ experience into something truly unforgettable.
As a regular radio DJ for WDR3’s “Klassik-Klub” series, I curate and present eclectic mixes that invite listeners to experience classical and contemporary music with fresh ears.
From exclusive club nights and festival stages to the unique honor of being invited to DJ at the 2026 Hannover State Opera Ball, my sets are conceived as contemporary salons: dynamic spaces for exchange, inspiration, and artistic dialogue. Here, boundaries dissolve – not just between genres, but between people, ideas, and ways of listening. There’s room for thoughtful reflection, spirited celebration, and genuine conversation.
Let’s rethink the club: as a modern salon where music becomes a shared language – opening new sensorial and intellectual spaces, transformative moments that resonate with the spirit of our time.

Grözinger relies on the immediacy of musical experience, on transfers that emerge from the programmatic context. He draws a bow between different genres, times, aesthetic ideas and philosophies. He is a specialist in extravagant mixtures. Grözinger wants to involve young audiences and overcome the stiffness and distance of the concert business.(R. Schlenz, Deutschlandfunk)
