CLIMAXED is a music management company working across electronic music culture. We support artist development from the grassroots scene to international stages — prioritising world-building, access, and artists challenging convention. 

Run by Bristol-based DJ, curator, and writer Lilian Buckthought, CLIMAXED blurs the line between artistic practice and cultural infrastructure.

An early immersion into the Bristol sound and grassroots scene, Lilian first entered the industry through Youth Music’s incubator programmes, putting on events and developing grassroots music. This work led to a Youth Music Rising Star (industry) nomination and roles within record labels, artist management and event support internationally.

Lilian’s work across music campaigns, live music and creative producing has been supported by The Arts Council, Rough Trade, NOORD, & Drake Music, allowing further exploration of her own artistic output and role as an industry practitioner.

The DOLLSTEP clubseries acts as an experimental space for Lilian to DJ, test out early productions, and curate queer nightlife experiences. Promoting genre fluidity and inclusive practice, Lilian’s perspective is channelled through her editorial writing and experimental DJ sets.
