Lena Willikens & Vladimir Ivkovic (11/2/22)

Lena Willikens doesn’t play the hits. When she’s behind the decks, even her biggest fans often have no idea exactly what she’s playing, and that’s part of the magic. Like all DJs, Willikens of course has a passion for records, but she’s also after something bigger, something that’s truly transportive for those on the dancefloor.

Born and raised in Germany, Willikens first honed her unique approach during a long residency at Düsseldorf’s beloved Salon des Amateurs. These days, however, she’s based in Amsterdam, where her transportative impulses have been plugged into a variety of outlets with a global reach. On the radio, she pilots the monthly Lightning Conductor program on NTS. On record, she recently curated the fifth installment of Dekmantel’s acclaimed Selectors compilation series, and she’s also been tapped to remix the likes of Lena Platonos, S U R V I V E, rRoxymore, Simian Mobile Disco and Ana Helder, amongst others. On stage, Willikens works with artist Sarah Szczesny on Phantom Kino Ballett, an immersive audio-visual performance art project that defies routine explanation.

Still, it’s in the DJ booth where Willikens continues to make the biggest impact. Whether she’s playing alone or in tandem with fellow sonic explorer and Salon des Amateurs alum Vladimir Ivkovic, Willikens nimbly navigates electronic music’s darkest and most bizarre corners, sampling different temperatures, different moods and a dollop of chaos, just to keep things interesting. And although she herself doesn’t always know the final destination, when Willikens is at the helm, there’s no question that the journey is bound to be thrilling.

"We made the mix in a manner of a chess game, taking turns in appending tracks to it, sending to each other the new versions which end with our new "moves". An interesting game, as neither of us knows in advance what the other would throw into the mix. Every time, receiving the updated version of the mix, one has to "deal" with what arrives and find the way to continue. Naturally we have been leaving good "tails" for the other to mix into, but at times we also challenged each other with the material." - Abul Mogard & COH

"Every time i play music without a dancing crowd in front of me i embrace the chance to include tunes which i hardly get to play in clubs or festivals.
This time i was sorting music which is either to slow or to fast and for that reason not easy for me to include in my regular sets without pitching them endlessly..." -@lenawillikens
