2024 saw POLTERGST reach his full potential, evolving from a relatively unknown DJ into an international touring hard techno act that dominated the mainstages and streaming lists.
Tunes like “Move It” and “Like A G6” (alongside Timmy Trumpet) dominated the festival summer, receiving massive mainstage support, working up tens of millions of streams (and counting).
Then, POLTERGST continued to overwhelm, as he dropped “Open Your Eyes,” a hard techno version of the famous Guano Apes rock hit. The song went viral, making incredible waves on TikTok, further emphasizing the rise of the mysterious German artist, whose social media audience grew explosively to more than 400.000 dedicated followers.
Closing off his milestone year, POLTERGST delivered the hyper rave monster “Transgender” together with Police In Paris and Staarz, a tune that also went viral on TikTok like crazy, as well as receiving DJ support from some of the finest (hard) techno acts out there, including Maddix, I Hate Models and HI-LO.
In the meantime, POLTERGST kept raising the bar with his live shows. 2024 saw him perform at major festivals, including a mesmerizing closing set at Parookaville, while also hitting it hard at Decibel Outdoor Festival and renowned German club Bootshaus. As he toured intensively across the globe, POLTERGST also ventured into Asia, marking another milestone along the way.
And now, POLTERGST is eager to make even bigger and bolder moves. With several huge festivals and clubs already confirmed for 2025, the near future should see the ghost-like image go next level to fresh, unexpected heights.
And surely, the tunes will gain impact as well. The ghost is officially unleashed now, and he’s got some surprises up his sleeve that will only leave the crowds wanting for more. No way of stopping this POLTERGST anymore, as he’s got the sound and momentum to rock the hard techno scene like never before.
