SYNCHRONICITY ⚡️

10 of my favorite moments from our new Ultra Miami film. Swipe →

This film is all about the human experience. The anticipation, connection, release, surrender and unity that happens when thousands of people come together.

More than anything, we wanted to capture what it actually feels like to be there.

Real people, real emotions, real moments — captured by our team and turned into cinematic memories.

I’m super proud of the cinematography in this one. Of how this team sees the world and always manages to find those little moments in all the chaos that make a film feel alive.

A BIG thank you to my fellow directors Nicky, Georges, Victor & Kevin. You guys played such an important part in shaping the concept and brought so much creativity, energy and your own vision into this film. I loved making this together and I’m incredibly proud of what we created. ❤️

The film came out yesterday and today happens to be my birthday, so I have a little extra reason to celebrate. 🥂 Feeling very grateful for this crew, the adventures we get to share and the fact that I still get to do what I love.

The full ULTRA MIAMI 2026 — SYNCHRONICITY film is now on YouTube in 4K.

Some moments don’t just bring back memories…
They remind you why you fell in love with all of this in the first place.

I haven’t posted on Instagram for a long time.

Partly because I’d rather spend my time living moments than constantly sharing them. Spending time with my family became more important than being online all the time. And honestly… I also lost some interest in the endless cycle of social media and the constant need to share everything.

But this one felt worth sharing.

At Ultra Music Festival 2026 I experienced a real full circle moment.

When Eric Prydz joined Swedish House Mafia on the MainStage, those 15 minutes genuinely felt like one of the most epic moments in Ultra history. At least for me.

It instantly brought me back to 2008.
Touring the world with Fedde Le Grand. Hearing “Pjanoo” everywhere. Falling in love with this music and this culture. It was also the very first year I went to Ultra.

And then suddenly… all these years later… seeing those legends together on the MainStage playing the songs that shaped so many memories for me — it honestly hit me emotionally.

Especially when they played “Allein” by Pryda.

The moment that track came on, I knew:
this had to become the Memories clip.

So I made this video as a tribute to that feeling.
To the music.
To the memories.
And to the journey from then… to now.

Huge love to my amazing crew and everyone involved in creating these moments together year after year. ❤️

This one means a lot to me.

ULTRA MIAMI 2025

Into Hyperspace is more than an aftermovie. It’s a cinematic hyperreel that captures the chaos, beauty, and emotion of this historic edition — weaving together the legacy of Ultra with a new chapter for the future.

The soundtrack itself carries the legacy: a genre-blending mix of legendary EDM anthems, classics, iconic moments of Ultra, and nods to the very first aftermovies. Past and future colliding in one timeless piece

As Charly said, this project wasn’t just about editing or visuals — it was about creating something together, with heart, trust, and passion. Forever grateful for this collaboration and for everyone who lived these moments with us in Miami. 🚀💫
