Live saxophonist in Vienna
Josax is Jovan Pastar, a saxophonist based in Vienna who plays live over house and electronic sets: hotel bars and rooftops, galleries and event locations, corporate receptions and private parties across the city.

What does a live saxophonist play at a Vienna event?
Live saxophone over the music the room already runs on, usually a house or electronic DJ set. The sax answers it live and improvised, so your guests hear the music they came for, with a human voice on top.
One act, the whole evening
- AperitifLounge and deep house, under the conversation at the bar.
- SunsetOut on the terrace or the rooftop, the saxophone takes the lead.
- MidnightHigh energy, played into a full floor.
Where in Vienna does Josax play?
Anywhere in the city with a sound system and a reason to celebrate: hotel bars, rooftops, museums and private floors. Beyond the city too, across Lower Austria and Burgenland, from the Vienna Woods to Lake Neusiedl.

Which format should you book in Vienna?
Your venue already has a DJ? Book sax over the set. No DJ yet? Book sax and DJ as one act. Either way the room only needs a free input on its sound system, and How to book has the rest.
Sax and DJ, one booking
One act, one booking, one sound check. The set is built and played end to end, so nobody has to introduce two suppliers to each other on the day.

Common questions
Is Josax based in Vienna?
Yes. Jovan Pastar lives and plays in Vienna, so a booking anywhere in the city or its surroundings needs no travel planning: he arrives ahead of doors for the sound check like at any local event. From Vienna he also travels across Austria and Europe, ten countries so far.
Which Vienna venues has he played?
The Ritz-Carlton Vienna, DANUBEFLATS, Wolke 19 and mumok, among others: hotel bars and rooftops, event locations and galleries, plus private and corporate rooms across the city. Venue operators rebook him because the set fits the room rather than fighting it.
Can he play with the DJ my Vienna venue already has?
Yes. Live saxophone over a DJ set works with any DJ and any sound system that has a free input. The DJ plays the set they planned and the saxophone follows it live, improvised. If you have no DJ yet, book sax and DJ as one act instead.
What does a Vienna venue need to provide?
A free input on the sound system that is already there, the DJ's or the venue's, a little space near the DJ and power nearby. He brings the saxophone and the microphone. No sound system and no DJ? Book sax and DJ as one act, which covers the sound.
What kind of music does a saxophonist play at a Vienna event?
Live saxophone over house and electronic sets, from deep and groovy at the aperitif to high-energy at peak time. The music is adapted to suit the moment, whether that means relaxed background music or high energy party sets, so the same act covers a hotel terrace at sunset and a full floor at midnight.
How far ahead should I book a saxophonist in Vienna?
The earlier the better for Saturdays between May and September, when the calendar fills first. A Vienna date needs no travel lead time, so short-notice bookings are possible when the date is free. Send the date and the venue, and you get a straight answer on what is possible.
How I work
Planning a night in Vienna?
I read every inquiry myself and reply personally. Vienna is my home city, so a booking here is the simplest kind: I know the rooms, I arrive before doors for the sound check, and I play the set the night asks for. Tell me the date and the venue.
Jovan is professional, talented, and incredibly versatile as a musician. He perfectly captured the relaxed summer atmosphere of the event and beautifully complemented it with his saxophone. Great sound, a friendly and charismatic presence, and simply a wonderful addition to the event. Highly recommended!
