Sonja Rauschenbach (born April 5, 1999)[1][2], better known as Lilly Palmer, is a German techno DJ and record producer.
Palmer grew up in the Nuremberg area,[3] and began her musical career in Zurich,[4] working in small bars and clubs. Initially focused as a DJ playing more melodic techno and deep house, Palmer moved into playing higher tempo 150 BPM in response to the audience reaction.[3][5]
In June 2022 Palmer performed a 2-hour 28-track Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1.[6][7] The following year, in 2023, she performed a live set direct from a satellite testing chamber at the European Space Agency, which incorporated samples from the ESA sound archive.[8] In 2024 she signed to Armada Music and Kontor Records, with track "Hare Ram" as the first release under the deal.[9] In 2025, Palmer performed at events including the Sonus Festival and the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, and followed up with a live techno set transmitted from the DJ Mag headquarters.[10]
Palmer has received accolades in the music press, including being called one of the "most exciting names in techno" by Mixmag magazine, and a "star" by DJ Mag.[4][10] In 2023 music website EDM.com named Palmer as one of the best "producers of the year".[11]
