Electric Lights brings electronic music under the Bochum star dome

On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, the Planetarium Bochum transforms into an audiovisual resonance space for electronic music. Electric Lights – Women in Electronic Music combines DJ sets, portrait photography, and immersive 360-degree projections into a concert experience, where conscious perception and spatial sound take center stage.

When the cosmos becomes the dance floor

Cosmic images and floating portrait installations spread above the stage as electronic sounds wander through the dome. The fulldome projections add a visual layer to the sound and create an atmosphere between club night, exhibition, and musical journey. The planetarium becomes not just a backdrop but an active component of the presentation.

Katja Ruge opens the Bochum premiere

The photographer, DJ, and curator Katja Ruge is behind the format Electric Lights. Her cinematic DJ set navigates between electronica, electro, techno, new wave, dark disco, and other forms of electronic music. With a keen sense for dramaturgy, transitions, and atmosphere, she develops a musical narrative that connects early visions of the future of electronic music with a futuristic present sound.

DJ MELL G: Precision, pressure, and energy

Following her, DJ MELL G from Frankfurt takes over. The producer and label owner of JUICY GANG RECORDS is one of the distinctive new voices in the electronic scene. Her set combines electro, breakbeat, techno, and EBM with powerful stage performance, precise synchronization, and uncompromising sense of rhythm. Collaborative B2B sets with Helena Hauff and DJ Stingray underline her closeness to an internationally networked club culture.

A format between photography, music, and the future

Electric Lights emerged from Katja Ruge's long-term photographic project about women in electronic music. This developed into a series of DJ and live sets that showcase female artists in planetariums in Hamburg, Berlin, and now for the first time in Bochum. The combination of portraits, interviews, electronic orchestration, and cosmic visuals opens new perspectives on the genre, history, and present of club music.

Conclusion: Experience electronic sound worlds live

Audiences can expect an intense concert experience lasting about three hours with Katja Ruge, DJ MELL G, and immersive 360-degree visuals. Those who want to not only hear electronic music but experience it as space, light, and movement will find an extraordinary evening at the Bochum premiere of Electric Lights under the star dome.
