American born Lily Ackerman is a producer and DJ based in Berlin.

Raised in a quiet farming town in Illinois, Lily’s first outings with electronic music began after relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area, co-founding the Diacritic Collective – a group of music devotees passionate about vinyl culture – and later landing a residency at the long-running As You Like It parties. Fast forward ten years later and Lily now resides in Berlin where she has already unleashed her dexterous selection of techno, electro and leftfield electronics at institutions like Tresor, Pornceptual and Bewegungsfreiheit.

Her production career spans over a decade, with her first wave of material surfacing on Mioli Music in 2013 (‘Africa’), to releases on Friends With Benefits, Perfect Location and Vinyl Dreams Records, tracking a gradual and effortless stylistic shift towards the more angular and experimental side of the electronic cosmos. In late 2020 the brooding electro cut ‘Fomite’ was featured on landmark Berlin streaming platform HÖR’s first ever compilation, saluting Lily’s stand-out appearances at the infamous white tiled Kreuzberg studios. Shortly thereafter, she released a deep-diving ‘Wormhole Mix’ of Christina Chatfield’s ‘Energies’ on As You Like It Recordings, maintaining her strong ties to the San Francisco Bay Area scene.

Channeling her US roots and fusing years of experience with newfound inspirations in Berlin, Lily Ackerman looks toward the next decade with hope, passion and an innate sense for the eternal groove of the dance-floor.
