Lützenkirchen began his DJ career in 2006,[citation needed] adopting Lützenkirchen as his professional name. By 2008 he had switched to performing pure live sets.
The single "3 Tage Wach" ("awake for three days") was the 60th best-selling single of 2008 in Germany.[2] As summarized by Spiegel Online, the vocoder lyrics describe "how it feels to party for three days without sleep, ingesting lots of alcohol and drugs".[1] Lützenkirchen has described them as satire and as a humorous "mirror of the [Techno] scene", and rejected claims that it was advocating drug use.[1][3] He has been stipulating in contracts that flyers and posters must not mention "3 Tage wach", being concerned that the hit would define his image too much.[1]
