Women DJs are rewriting the language of nightlife. Their sets are archives, healing practices, and stories in motion: raw, vulnerable, and electric.

We spoke with three remarkable women shaping the city’s soundscape: Mica Sociale, Senaida, and CMD+Jazmine. Each brings her own journey, influences, and approach to building community and expanding sonic possibilities.

When Selena Faider steps behind the decks, the energy shifts. Her sound is a kaleidoscope — soulful grooves, high-energy rhythms, and radiant vocal lines that manage to feel both intimate and explosive. Whether you’re streaming her virtually or catching her on a packed dancefloor, her sets draw you in, lift you higher, and leave you glowing long after the last beat fades.

Paris-born and London-honed, Faider is quickly rising as one of house music’s most magnetic new voices.

For many women DJs, style is part of the performance: a visual language that speaks as loudly as the bassline. From underground clubs to festival stages, what we wear behind the decks becomes a symbol of who we are, what we represent, and how we take up space. 

In this piece, we'll highlight DJs across the globe — from the U.S. to Latin America to Europe — who are not only redefining sound but also reshaping the aesthetics of nightlife. 

I started DJing as a hobby in my spare time over a year ago, after attending too many raves—often left sleep-deprived but curious about the craft of music curation. Practicing in my bedroom with the small $100 controller I had bought, I honed my skills whenever I could find the time.
