Lilith Suffrajitsu
Lilith Suffrajitsu’s artist name pays homage to the 20th century women’s movement and her sound reflects that: combative, electrifying and progressive. With a passion for vinyl, she brings an authentic touch to her sets, spinning infectious beats that span a wide spectrum – from the nostalgic grooves of old-school Electro to funky house tunes, the gritty vibes of 80s New Beat, and the entrancing rhythms of Minimal and Underground Techno.

DCHM b2b SAM
Feeling empty & exhausted? We recommend a high dose of DCHM! A regular at Jaki & Gewölbe in Clubheartbrokens Homebase Cologne, DCHM has become an abbreviation for ecstatic and pain – relieving moments. Ranging from pulsing House to driven Techno in style, the co- funder of Wuppertal’s Mauke Club honed his craft alongside some of the scene’s biggest names, before collaborating with Malugi both behind the decks & in the studio. An integral part of the CHB family, he knows how to work a crowd in true DCHM demeanor.

With monthly guests on her “Whatever Floats Your Boat” show on Callshop Radio, SAM has been introducing a musical vision since the beginning of 2022 and also showed the more floor oriented side of that vision with her booking for the “II. Reihe sleepless” stage at Tarmac Festival and Neue Welle in Leipzig. When she plays, anything can happen, but most of the time, her sets hit the soft spots by carefully blending diverse styles from across the electronic music spectrum, with a recent shift toward a stronger emphasis on house music.
