Jan Blomqvist is more than just a DJ – he is a virtuoso musician, singer and producer who brings his unique style of electronic music to the stage. From his early years with grunge, playing guitar and drums, to adapting to the digital age in the Berlin music scene, Jan has evolved into a master of live acts and a pioneer of the “concert techno” genre.
Jan played a key role in reviving songwriting arrangements, real instruments and elaborate harmonies in techno and electro. He is a global phenomenon – he has performed at Coachella three times, is a regular at Burning Man and attracts masses of influence at festivals and club shows, which he plays up to 100 times a year. His performances are known for their emotional intensity and precise synchronization of sound and lights, creating an almost cinematic experience.
Experiencing Jan Blomqvist live is a transcendent experience; his innate ability to connect with an audience and elevate the atmosphere in the hall is unique. He balances between established success and underground authenticity, remaining professional while maintaining a childlike curiosity. His voice – soft, melancholic, yet compelling – has become a hallmark that resonates across genres and continents.
In 2024, Jan fulfilled his dream of his own music label and founded Disconnected. The label aims to fill the gaps between deep house, melodic electro and intelligent, unconventional dreamy vocals, connecting the club and concert atmosphere. The label also serves as a platform for young, innovative producers who share Blomqvist’s vision of music as a means of deeper communication.
The label’s name comes from Jan’s latest album Disconnected, where he delved deeply into the phenomenon of growing alienation: it’s no surprise that the first single released under his label, “Destination Lost,” is a collaboration with Rodriguez Jr. and carries the same thematic message:
“We are craving for affection, remotely in reach. Constant worldwide connection, but so lonely each. Always searching for something. Yet nothing is found. While misplacing the moments, would you miss me around.”– Jan Blomqvist & MaybeMahri
After three years of solo touring, Jan reunited with his longtime friends – drummer Christian Dammann and keyboardist Felix Lehmann – last year to perform together as a live band. Their live synergy brings the energy and depth of a concert performance to electronic music, pushing the genre towards a more interesting and emotional experience.
The show was moved to Archa+ due to production reasons.
