SFEER00002 - DJ LOCAL B (GER)

DJ Local B is one of those artists that feels inseparable from his own local scene. At only 23 years old, Ole grew up inside the energy of Braunschweig’s nightlife, and from a young age he was already chasing the sound, the crowd and the feeling that comes with fast, euphoric club music.

What makes Local B stand out is his approach to DJing. It is not about perfection or strict rules, but about the emotional result on the dancefloor. Groove, melody, that essential trance offbeat bassline, and a weakness for trance pop and edits all come together in sets that are built around one main goal: good vibes and real connection.

How did you first get into the Braunschweig techno scene?

Local B developed a fascination for the Braunschweig techno scene at a young age. He even admitted that he used to sneak into clubs at just 15 years old, purely because he wanted to be close to the music and the culture that surrounded it.

Over the years, that curiosity turned into involvement. Together with his collective, he slowly became a real part of the local movement, not just as someone attending events, but as someone helping shape the sound and energy coming out of his city.

What do you look for when selecting tracks for your sets?

When it comes to track selection, Local B keeps his priorities clear. He cares most about:

Grooviness
Tracks need momentum and swing, something that instantly moves people.

Melody
Even in harder and faster music, melody adds emotion and memorability.

He also insists on one element that defines his sound: the classic trance offbeat bassline. It is essential. On top of that, he openly admits having a weakness for trance pop and edits, as long as they fit the mood and keep the set centered around pure positivity.

For him, everything always comes back to the same thing: the vibe has to feel good.

What is a memorable moment from your DJ career so far?

Local B shared a moment from Trance Force One by Sachsentrance that stayed with him. The experience started with technical issues, and at first it genuinely unsettled him.

There was a hiccup with the player, and those situations can quickly shake your confidence, especially when you feel the room watching and waiting. But in the end, the set still came together, and the whole thing turned into one of those unforgettable nights where you learn that the best moments are sometimes the ones you did not plan for.

How do you prepare for a DJ set?

In terms of preparation, Local B builds a setlist with a balance of fresh discoveries and trusted classics. He mixes in new tracks, but also keeps space for evergreens that always work.

He only plans two parts in a more fixed way:
the opening tracks
the closing tracks

Everything in between is meant to stay flexible. He prefers spontaneous and freer sets because it allows him to react better to the crowd, the vibe, and the moment.

How do you adapt your sets to different venues and audiences?

For Local B, adapting is about context. He adjusts his approach based on:

his playtime slot
the acts before him
the acts after him

He explained that outdoor events often call for a different energy, usually something more playful and slightly slower, compared to a peak time indoor rave where you can push intensity further.

It is all about understanding the environment while still keeping the core identity of his sound intact.

Who inspires you right now?

Local B mentioned taking inspiration from DJ Heartstring, especially their sound and the way they blend emotion with impact.

He also highlighted his love for eurodance, especially when it comes with disco elements. That influence clearly shows in the playful, melodic side of his selections, where nostalgia and modern rave energy meet.

What are your current favorite tracks?

His favorite tracks at the moment include:

Never Leave You / Spacer Woman Edit / Lumidee
Geiz Ist Geil / DJ Equipment
Watch Me Dance / Cheese Louise
Feel It / Jaw

It is a list that perfectly reflects his identity: upbeat, fun, hooky, and designed to light up a dancefloor.

What is the perfect BPM for you?

Local B said his perfect BPM sits between 150 and 160 BPM.
Fast enough to keep things sharp and euphoric, but still flexible depending on the atmosphere and the crowd.

Have you ever had a strange situation during a set?

He shared one incident that was both amusing and annoying at the same time. During a set, a guy was dancing behind him and repeatedly grabbed his CDJs.

It is the kind of moment that sounds funny as a story afterwards, but in real time it can be incredibly distracting. Still, it became one of those classic memories that every DJ collects sooner or later.

How do you see the evolution of the scene right now?

Local B pointed out that the trance hype has become huge. In his view, it is not only shaping the club scene, but even influencing rap and pop music. The sound has crossed boundaries and become part of a much wider cultural wave.

He also mentioned exciting upcoming projects, including something with 5euroGoldi and a second feature with Trancemaster Krause.

What advice would you give to aspiring DJs?

His advice stays simple and honest:

Always do what you love
Make music for you, not for clicks

It is a clear reminder that authenticity and passion will always last longer than chasing trends.

How was your experience playing for SFEERBEHEER?

Local B expressed real satisfaction with his first gig for SFEERBEHEER. He described the team as professional and supportive, which made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming.

He also said he is excited to return in 2024, and we are proud to officially announce him as our 2024 international resident.
