CLIMAXED is a cultural production project working across electronic music, events, releases, artist development, and curatorial projects rooted in queer and experimental sound.
Run by DJ, cultural producer, and writer Lilian Buckthought, CLIMAXED blurs the line between artistic practice and cultural infrastructure. Lilian's early immersion in the Bristol sound and grassroots scene came through Youth Music's incubator programmes, promoting events and developing grassroots music.
This led to roles within record labels, artist management, and event support internationally, with her work in music campaigns, live music, and creative producing supported by The Arts Council, Unsound Festival, The PRS Foundation, and Drake Music, while developing a selection of talent across international touring, worldbuilding, and professional development.
Performing as LYZANDER, Lilian operates the DOLLSTEP club series as an experimental space to DJ, test early productions, and curate queer nightlife experiences. Promoting genre fluidity and inclusive practice, her perspective is channelled through editorial writing and freeform DJ sets.
Available for DJ bookings, programming, event production, and creative commissions. Also open to conversations around artist development and cultural producing. Get in touch: hello@climaxedmgmt.com
