Electric Lights – Women in Electronic Music (VOL.3)

Live

Energy, passion and the unique artistic perspectives of women in electronic music unite with the genre's sense of freedom and community. A fascination for the cosmos, the big questions about origins and the future, the amazement about infinity, space and time create an experience that connects us all. Electric Lights brings all these aspects together in a new format, highlighting the special crossover between space exploration, electronic music and photography that lies in the intensive use of technology.

Photographer and DJ Katja Ruge and the musicians she portrays mix electronic beats to expressive visuals and galactic 360° projections live in the planetarium dome. In a cosmic atmosphere, beyond any club, they tell special musical stories, always with a view to current club music. Musically and visually you can expect a mix of driving techno and electro, new wave, italo and kraut through to dark disco, ambient and retro-futuristic 80s sounds.

Special guest on 24.02.2026: Nadia Struiwigh 

Nadia Struiwigh is a Dutch electronic musician, DJ and live performer whose work moves between ambient depth, jungle energy and hypnotic techno. Working primarily with hardware, she shapes sound through intuition, texture and emotional urgency, shifting fluidly from meditative space to rhythmic release. Her releases span labels such as Central Processing Unit, Nous’klaer Audio, Dekmantel, Blueprint and Tresor, reflecting a practice that holds both atmospheric sound design and dancefloor pressure. Rotterdam roots and Berlin presence inform her approach: direct, human, raw, and always in motion.

As a resident at Tresor, her DJ sets lean into psychedelic, rolling and percussive intensity, while her live shows remain open and improvised, built moment-to-moment in dialogue with the room. No two performances are ever the same. Across ambient, jungle and techno, the thread is connection. Her upcoming album »IKIGAI« traces loss, devotion and renewal, marking her fifth full-length work and her most personal to date – released on Distorted Waves – her own imprint.

The album release will take place exclusively at the Zeiss Großplanetarium—an audiovisual journey through electronic soundscapes in two live modular sets, accompanied by impressive dome projections.
