De Gaer live at 22

De Gaer took shape in its current form in 2014, after years of immersion in the club scene, performing DJ sets at legendary venues such as Fabric and Public Life in London, and holding a residency at Fuse Brussels in his native Belgium. Now based in Lisbon, he is focused on refining his unmistakable sound, drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres—spanning electronic, ambient, post-punk, and experimental music.

What distinguishes De Gaer is his ability to transform meticulous studio work into dynamic, evolving live sets. His creative approach revolves around sculpting a core set of sounds, which he rapidly rearranges and layers to construct immersive and emotionally charged performances.

De Gaer's instruments of choice include the Tempest and Syntrx, further processed through an array of pedals to shape and refine his sonic palette. His ability to fuse these elements into an expressive, organic whole is central to his creative vision.

His intricate soundscapes serve as a vehicle for exploring the tension between inner turmoil and fleeting moments of peace. In a world that feels colder, more chaotic, and fundamentally darker, De Gaer's music becomes a raw, emotional journey—an exploration of the complex and often unsettling reality we navigate today.
