Solstice is the alias of Marlene Schaefer, a Berlin-based DJ and producer specializing in long-form house and minimal sets. She has been DJing for fourteen years and has held residencies at Berghain (since 2019) and Womb Tokyo (since 2022).
Her sound is deep, vinyl-heavy, and patient — the long-form set as a craft. She is best known for closing sets at festivals like Dekmantel and Houghton, where she has played the 5am sunrise slot three years running.
