LOCATION: Berlin

AFFILIATION: Spandau20 | CROWD

Berlin-based DJ and producer Elli Acula has rapidly emerged as a driving force in the global techno scene, known for high-velocity sets that seamlessly fuse techno, rave, and electro. While she now commands main stages at festivals like Awakenings, Glastonbury, and Baum Festival, her artistry was forged in the underground of Berlin, cutting her teeth with extended vinyl sets at venues like OHM and ://aboutblank. This raw, late-night energy remains a hallmark of her performances, whether she is playing at institutional clubs like Berghain and Fabric or reaching international audiences through acclaimed live streams for Boiler Room and Stone Techno.

As a founding member and creative director of the SPANDAU20 collective, Acula has played a pivotal role in defining the label’s distinct, groovy sound. Her breakout collaboration, "To The Peak" with FJAAK and Steffi, served as a massive milestone that garnered support from the industry’s elite and set the stage for standout solo releases on Fabric Records and Hypercolour. Always evolving, she recently launched her Euphoria Sessions project—an immersive event series that debuted at Fabric London—designed to create cutting-edge dancefloor experiences that foster collective energy in exceptional spaces worldwide.
