By day, Samuel Keller works as a qualified nurse in the recovery room at Beritklinik St. Gallen. At night, as Tripgate, he brings that same precision to the floor.
The trigger was Tiësto at Tomorrowland 2014. At 16, he watched that set and knew exactly what he wanted. He taught himself the craft by studying hours of festival sets, analysing transitions, understanding the theory behind them and learning by watching.
At 18, he played his first gig, already performing his own mashups and crafting transitions that went beyond simply blending tracks. The kind of transitions that people in the room actually noticed.
In his own music studio in St. Gallen he produces daily, practising, refining and collaborating with national and international artists. Regular releases, real collaborations, no standing still. His originals have substance: "Together We Bright" started with a cold DM to a singer on Instagram. "Beyond the Horizon" was written during one of his darkest moments. Every track has a real story behind it.
His sound sits between Melodic Techno and Big Room Techno, influenced by Hardwell, Armin van Buuren and Agent of Time. Sets that hit emotionally and drive physically.
What he wants the crowd to feel is simple: go home thinking that was different. Better than expected. And the feeling sticks.
