About Femme Electronic

Femme Electronic is an initiative of Goethe Zentrum Kampala, Santuri Safari and DJ Rachael. It aims to connect East African women in the field of electronic music to create a strong network of mutual support and introduce them to the various techniques of deejaying and music production.

Participants are usually taken through training, workshops, mentorships, showcases, residencies and events aimed at addressing the severe gender imbalance in the East African music industry and the electronic music scene in particular.
