International Women's Day dance party: "We are here because of women"

March 7, 2020 2:10 PM

Weekend dance party x International Women's Day: once again (Wonderland Magazine, 2019) Boiler Room teamed up with Gurls Talk (an online community for young women to discuss issues; previously) for a celebratory party. This year, the DJs, selectors and musicians were Born N Bread*, Celeste, Flohio, Jamz Supernova*, Jess Ajose, and Shygirl. Rewind to last year, and check out Jordss, Jorja Smith*, Little Simz and Babeheaven joining Adwoa Aboah (Instagram) for a night curated by Jasmine Srih (Ig).

* Not all mixes from this year are online, as far as I could find, so I patched in other links. Born N Bread's link is a short clip, as I couldn't a full mix from them. Jamz Supernova's set is another Boiler Room mix from 2018, while Jorja Smith's link is an NPR Tiny Desk Concert from 2018.

A few more, longer mixes from Mixmag in years prior:

- KLP International Women's Day set in The Lab SYD (2016)
