Sub Sahara is a versatile, multi-genre DJ from Aotearoa (New Zealand) with a mix of Ivorian & European heritage. Rooted in the expansive range of dance music, her sound is driven by percussion and groove, reflecting the deep ancestral rhythms of her west african lineage. Her eclectic catalog spans house, techno, vogue/ballroom, breaks, electro, hardgroove, disco, and more.

Dance, an ancient ritual of connection and expression, is at the core of Sub Sahara’s artistry. She channels this heritage into her sets, honoring movement as both a personal and collective experience. Committed to inclusivity, she celebrates BIPOC and queer identities, recognizing their vital influence on dance music culture. Through her music, she fosters community, creating spaces for connection, self-expression, and empowerment.
