There's a headline you didn't think you'd read today. German Twitch streamer Crossmauz has recently gone viral on Twitter when clips of him blasting face-melting gabber and even more face-melting pyrotechnics after he gets a kill were shared.Crossmauz has a setup in his room most clubs would be envious of. Consisting of multiple lasers, strobe lights, smoke machine, and a fire-spitting pyrotechnic, his bedroom is the perfect space for a rave. He's even set up multiple cameras so you can catch the carnage from multiple angles.The original tweet that tipped the internet off to this unique streamer read, "just got killed by this kid on steam mw2 with twitch in his name and this is what i see." Seizure warning ahead. The following clip contains flashing lights, lasers, and very loud, fast music.
While some tweets claim he drops the beat after getting a kill while playing Modern Warfare 2, the clips certainly don't make it look like he's playing any video games. This may have resulted in a misinterpretation of the original tweet.
Rather than scorching his roof every time he kills an opposing player, he could have just been playing video games during his downtime and the original tweeter may have just grabbed a clip from one of his VODs.
Whatever the case, Crossmauz is currently taking Twitter by storm. As Twitch streamers Pokimane and Mizkif said recently, it's hard to cut through the noise on the platform and get noticed. A light show that rivals most festival headline acts is certainly a good way to catch a viewer's eye. He also shouts ad-libs into his microphone and can clearly be seen operating the lasers and pyrotechnics himself, all while flailing his arms and dancing to the music. he creates a very fun environment.
What's most surprising about Crossmauz is his age. It's well known that Germany has some of the best nightlife in the world, with internationally renowned clubs and DJs, so the love for gabber isn't much of a shock, but Crossmauz is just 15 years old.
Writing this as a former DJ, I'm truly envious of his room's atmospheric production capabilities and his great taste in gabber. To many, it sounds like noise, but to its fans, it's a wonderful thing.
