DJ Stella Bossi – live at Index Dublin 14.12.2024

Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen.

Stella’s answer to a good life.  Peace, Joy, Pancakes. 

Stella Bossi had brought her infectious energy to INDEX, Dublin Saturday 14th. 

A late night starting at 1pm, Stella turned what I know as Opium, into a club right out of the Berlin Techno Scene. I actually want to take my hat off to the guys over at INDEX. Opium is not generally  a live venue I enjoy shooting in when it comes to Guitar based music, but The INDEX crew have flipped it on its side, and turned it into a whole other vibe. 

As far as lighting goes, you cant get any better. And having the crowed on stage behind the artists provides a 360 view and makes for epic photos surrounding the artist in their fans. Beautifully crafted vibes! 

Stella Bossi took control of all that, and tore the house down with her iconic sound which has grabbed Germany and the world by the balls. 

I first took notice of Stella during the pandemic when she was appearing on my feed for posting funny videos around Berlin such as, herself on a bike with a massive set up connected to the bike whilst cycling the city blasting the tunes and even having the local Police bopping. House party’s with blow up pools on the roof, and oversized joints being smoked whilst working the decks. 

Stella Started off in the legendary Kit Kat Club in Berlin. A club home to so much talent and just a hub oozing creativity and free spirits.

Symbiotikka is the event in which occurs in the Kit Kat Klub, and although I have never been, I have been a fan for some time now. Starting off with first coming across their Photographer Gili Shani. A portrait photographer and the main event photographer for the Kit Kat Klub. Gili opened my eyes to the underground world of Berlin and the vibrant techno scene.

It was a beautiful eye opener for the potential that Dublin has, and is oozing at the moment in the world of Techno and DJ based music. And INDEX Are at the forefront of this movement now, bringing some of the best Artists in to our Emerald Isle. 

You can be sure that this will not be the last time I shoot at INDEX. 2025 is looking like an epic year. 

You can catch Stella Bossi on the last legs of her tour in Zurich on the 19th, Stockholm on the 20th, and Gdansk on the 21st.
