Introduction
When I first started DJing, one of my biggest ambitions was to perform on a larger stage. That dream became a reality in 2018, when I was invited to perform a 45-minute set at Blue Dot Festival. But what made this experience even more special was the journey leading up to it.
How the Gig Came to Be
About a month before Blue Dot Festival, I performed a set at the School of Electronic Music for the Sounds from the Other City Festival. Unbeknownst to me, a scout from Blue Dot Festival was in the crowd that day. A week later, they reached out and asked if I’d like to perform. It was an unexpected but thrilling opportunity, and of course, I said yes!
Building Up to Blue Dot Festival
In the lead-up to the festival, I had the chance to talk about my music and DJing on Reform Radio with Will Judd. We covered topics like:
- How I got into music and DJing.
- The inspiration behind my alias, JP Huzzle.
- My approach to DJing and music selection.
Additionally, the School of Electronic Music published a blog post featuring a written interview, where I shared insights into my background and what this opportunity meant to me.
The Festival Experience
The set began in a large, empty tent*, but within **10 minutes, the space was nearly full. Watching the crowd grow and respond to the music in real-time was an exhilarating moment — a feeling that’s difficult to put into words.
What Made This Set Special?
- Track Selection – A carefully curated setlist that blended energy, atmosphere, and rhythm.
- Crowd Engagement – Adapting the mix to the audience’s energy as more people joined.
- Seamless Transitions – Keeping the momentum high with smooth mixing techniques.
Media from the Event

Final Thoughts
Performing at Blue Dot Festival was a huge milestone for me as JP Huzzle. The experience reinforced my passion for live performance and electronic music, and it’s a moment I’ll always be proud of.
