82er - Gettin´ Schicki with it - Rough, Rugged & Raw - Unmöbliert - Offener Tanztreff - ADS Crew

I started djing in 1998 and initially limited myself to rap music. In time, I expanded my music style to incorporate influences such as funk, soul, reggae, electro and rock. In 2001 I started working in clubs and began to organize my own events, taking as my main venue the legendary "Fiz Oblon”, near Osnabrück. In 2002, alongside DJ Derbstar, I founded the “82er”. We were later joined by another DJ, Puerto Nico, in 2007.
Since moving to Düsseldorf in 2010, I have been a guest DJ for different locations and events, was a resident DJ at "Blue Note'', and established in 2012 the "Gettin 'Schicki with it” parties at the “Schickimicki”. In addition, I work for the DJ College Düsseldorf. Since 2014 I have been a part of "Unmöbliert Soundsystem," along with the Düsseldorf rapper Opty Free and am also a DJ for the Düsseldorf Rapper Chuck Morris. In 2017 I became part of the ADS Crew and also in 2018 I founded the booking agency "Book a DJ" with my DJ colleague DJ Trigger which can be reached at http://www.book-a-dj.de/

Commonwealthgirrl | Singer/Songwriter
Music runs in my blood—raised in Canada with a DJ dad who sparked my love for studios, records, and mics. From flute and choir to secret late-night radio shows, storytelling and song have been my life.
I fuse Country, Jazz, Pop, and Swing into raw, honest tracks—all home-produced with keyboard, ukulele, and simple gear. Influenced by legends like Johnny Cash, Daniel Lanois, and Rickie Lee Jones.
Check out my debut EP The Real Commonwealthgirrl (2021), singles Christmas Time (2022) and The Proof (St. Patrick’s Day 2024). In August 2025, I hit a songwriting retreat in Nashville— I'm ready to bring a fresh batch of new songs your way.
Thanks for listening—LIFE IS IMPROV.

Yusuf Sahilli is a multi-instrumentalist and metropolitan indie pop singer-songwriter from Berlin.

Yusuf Sahilli might sound like a blues man, or a new romantic, growling about wild nights spent searching, or letting his sweet tenor voice indulge in lustful melancholy moods. Fully buzzed on global sounds and brimming with boundless feel good passion and sympathy for the whole wide world.

Yusuf had connected to the Alternative Rock soundtrack of his generation and dug deep and fast into the history of the trade. From the Rock dinosaurs and the golden age of Pop through the Hippie era, the Beat of the Sixties and the protest movement right down to the founding fathers of the Blues in the Delta.

Half Turk and half Syrian. Fully German. Lived in Australia and Liverpool. Travelled the world. Worked for a global player in international pop music. But now he's focussing on his own career as a musician and running his own label to release promising authentic artists, producing records on studio ship MS Heiterkeit in Berlin and lending a mentoring hand to expatriate refugee musicians in need on the side.

He is open-minded, affable, sociable. Fancies a little party – or a big one! Likes things fast. Carries a smile behind his shades. And takes his guitar, keys and pedal steel to lend an Indie Rock thought to the meaning of it all.

What are we really doin’ on this planet? Where are we goin’? Can we save the world? What will remain of us when we leave? And what are we runnin’ on before that will happen? Last one is easy – love and compassion! If those are assured, things will fall into place pretty fast. And be it with the help of the coffee grounds that finally persuaded his father to buy him his first electric guitar.

Backed by his duo of faithful companions Damian Giambazi and Martin Krümmling – the three piece bring their enticing Indie Rock breed on stage with plenty of grace – three part harmony vocals and all.
