Rampa Sets the Tone for Monaco GP Weekend at Lilly’s Club

As the Monaco Grand Prix roars to life in the daylight, the heartbeat of the city shifts after dark and Lilly’s Club Monte Carlo stands at the center of that rhythm. On Thursday, May 22, 2025, the Grand Prix festivities officially began with an evocative and genre-defying performance from Rampa, co-founder of the Keinemusik collective. But this wasn’t just another DJ set, it was a carefully sculpted soundscape that infused Monaco’s night with pulse, emotion, and anticipation for the action-packed weekend ahead.

An Opening Night That Broke the Mold

While many expected the usual electronic buildup to Monaco’s race weekend, what they received instead was something more textured and refined. Rampa didn’t simply play tracks, he curated a journey. His deep, rhythmic selections moved through layers of afro-house, minimal techno, and atmospheric grooves, establishing not just a vibe, but a mood that permeated through every corner of Lilly’s Club.

The night’s experience was enhanced by more than just sound. The club’s interior featured interactive lighting synced with the set’s tempo, and custom scent diffusion created a full-sensory immersion, details rarely mentioned, but impossible to ignore. This attention to mood-setting, beyond the music alone, defined the uniqueness of Thursday’s launch event.

Pre-Race Strategy Meets Late-Night Sophistication

One of the most talked-about moments of the evening came early, just after midnight when a surprise set piece was introduced: a visual tribute to legendary Monaco GP moments, projected across the ceiling in tandem with a deep melodic build by Rampa. It connected the world of motorsport and music in a way no other venue attempted that night, merging the glamour of Formula 1 with the soul of electronic artistry.

Notable figures from the F1 paddock, as well as fashion insiders and tech entrepreneurs, were spotted enjoying the intimate atmosphere in Lilly’s Club’s upper-level private lounges, away from prying eyes and flashing cameras. This level of curated discretion, paired with cutting-edge production, is what quietly sets Lilly’s apart from larger, more commercialized venues in the city.

Why Rampa’s Set Mattered

More than just a performance, Rampa’s opening night set established a tone of intentional creativity for the weekend. It told attendees: this isn’t about quantity, it’s about quality, precision, and artistry. It signaled that Lilly’s Club would not be chasing attention with overblown theatrics, but rather delivering depth through experience.

From the whispered guest list to the sensory-driven programming, the event was designed for those who understand the value of subtlety in luxury.
