GILLIAN EVENTS is the promoting arm of DJ GILLIAN, who has been rooted in the gothic, fetish and BDSM scenes for more than thirty years — as a musician and producer, as a DJ on alternative lifestyle parties, and as a host of premium events and BDSM workshops.

Two kinky party formats run under it. EUPHORIA is a kinky, fetish and BDSM dance and play party in a vaulted cellar in Karlsruhe, with three play areas and dark sexual beats. STRIPPED is its Depeche Mode and 80s counterpart in Offenbach, where the same music the DJ has played since 1994 meets play rooms and SM furniture.

Both are run to an unusually explicit standard: every registration is checked individually, the guest list is balanced by gender rather than left to chance, the dress code is strict, and the house rules are published — 18 and over with ID, absolute discretion, and no unwanted touching.

Alongside the parties GILLIAN runs BDSM workshops for beginners and for the experienced, and separately hosts gothic and Depeche Mode music nights.
