Reviews
"An incredibly skilled DJ who takes his craft seriously, without any ego, just pure love and adoration for music and the scene. Traxsky knows how to read the crowd and give them exactly what they want when they want it; it's no surprise that his evolution as an artist is on a fast and upward trajectory. Traxsky's mixing technique is one to envy, and his seamless blend of different genres is something I have come to enjoy, both as a fan and a colleague. Having shared the decks with him a few times, I'm always in awe not just of his artistic abilities, but of the way he conducts himself and leaves you wanting more."

"I have known, followed, and worked with DJ Traxsky for over a year. From the beginning, I have admired his passion and dedication in creating his sets. The diligence and effort he puts into finding the right tracks to craft a sound journey and mood for the audience is remarkable. With Traxsky, both I and the audience feel the build-up and smooth transition from one track to another, elevating us as we ride the sound waves. Regarding collaboration with DJ Traxsky, I work as his photographer. He consistently demonstrates professionalism, and thoroughness, provides clear communication, and is punctual in delivering agreed action points. As a highly considerate person, he makes me and other collaborators feel at ease and well-looked after while working with him. I highly recommend DJ Traxsky, whether you are looking for a DJ for an event or an event planner for your special occasions."

"Traxsky possesses effortless charm when connecting with the crowd, and partly this uncanny ability makes his performances so wonderfully special. Not only does Traxsky deliver a unique set every time he plays (with no repeats), but he also infuses it with uncompromising energy and passion. His blended house-techno mixes are rhythmic, melodic, perfectly stitched together with excitement, drive, and intensity, all presented to his eager audience with a huge smile. What’s not to love?"

"The finest in house and techno. Traxsky's sets are a rich, melodic tapestry of some of the best in house and techno."
Andrew Brown
"Reflecting on three decades of sharing music with Traxsky has been nothing short of inspiring, especially witnessing his passion for music evolve. While in Sri Lanka, I had the privilege of experiencing his DJ skills firsthand. Traxsky also generously took the time to teach me some mixing techniques, revealing the care he puts into his performances. His talent didn't go unnoticed, as he was invited to DJ at various venues, granting us access to unforgettable parties where his brilliance truly shone.”
