Joachim Palsby, known to many as DJ TOOL, has a sound that’s a wild mix of old-school roots and high-energy innovation. His sets blend everything from hypnotic trance to intense techno and trippy psychedelia, drawing from a vast collection of underground classics. Starting out with Copenhagen’s Fast Forward collective, TOOL built a reputation for his killer vinyl skills and marathon 8-hour sets, playing legendary closings at spots across Europe and America. As a co-founder of Mala Junta, TOOL has worked to politicize nightlife and push trance into the queer underground, collaborating with Berghain and DIY collectives around the world. Whether in the studio or on the dancefloor, every beat he drops carries that unmistakable TOOL energy.
