Female party-goers for years have complained about harassment on the dance floor, while many revellers find mainstream venues too pricey. Aspiring artists are taking inspiration from female DJs from the region, she added — such as Palestinian Sama Abdulhadi, who has performed from Egypt to France and at premier US festival Coachella.
“I book male and female DJs to create dance floors that are inclusive in terms of music, gender and social class,” she said.
