Tristan Gorski: I create, grow and improve events, festivals and experiences.

My work with Mindvalley went beyond arriving as a DJ and playing a set.

I worked with the event team to understand the intention, audience and emotional flow of the VIP experience, then helped shape the music and atmosphere around different parts of the VIP event.

The aim was to make the music feel integrated into the wider event journey rather than treated as a separate performance.

Designing the music around the experience, not simply the timetable.

Ecstatica began as an intimate 150-person gathering and grew into an 800+ person festival within two years.

As co-founder, I helped build the brand, the community, the event design, the programming and the guest experience, along with the team and systems behind that growth.

The challenge was not simply to make the event bigger. It was to scale it while keeping the intimacy, connection and atmosphere that made people want to return.

Growth without losing the experience.

Ecstatic Dance Koh Phangan started as a small local gathering of around 60 people and grew into a community with events of more than 600, becoming one of the best-known ecstatic dance communities internationally.

As founder, I’ve developed the experience, programming, community, team, operations, customer journey and commercial model behind that growth.

The growth came from constantly refining the experience: not just the music, but how people arrive, how the room feels, how the team works and what makes people want to come back.

Build the experience well, and the community grows around it.
