A superwoman from the AMPFEMININE collective with the ability to transform from a PhD researcher in the light to a DJ in the dark that goes by the name of Deborah X. Taking influence from a wide range of styles including Techno, UK Garage, Bass and soulful House. A thriving talent who's ready to shake things up.

This mix will bump you up. Like if you’re rolling though a pinball machine and you’re only hitting heavy basslines with multiball. Don’t push yourself too much when listening, you will definitely go on tilt!

We're delighted to welcome Nala Brown to the GF series this week. The Rotterdam-based Dutch selector is part of the Ampfeminine crew, a collective of female DJs who have diversity as a core part of their vision and aim to create more opportunities for women and minorities in the nightlife community, most recently launching their radio show on Refugee Worldwide. She's caught our attention during her performances at Spielraum some time ago and the Dekmantel Connect streams more recently. True to her style, her selection is an energetic selection with electro at its core with techno and breaks sprinkled along the way. Lock in!

This week we warmly welcome Soft Break to the series. The Rotterdam-based artist is a DJ, multidisciplinary designer and one of the founders of AMPFEMININE, a DJ collective based in Rotterdam aiming to add a variety of colour behind the decks and adding feminine energy that is missing in the power dynamics that are currently in place. She is also one of the latest graduates from the No Shade DJ Mentoring Program 2020 in Berlin. Her eclectic, high-energy sets reflect her early encounters with her city's jungle, dubstep and grime scene. She moves through gentle vocals, techno, footwork, hip hop and sub destroying bass. Lock in for a take-no-prisoners hour of club-driven rhythmic bangers.

AMPFEMININE SPECIAL: camgurlxx

"A mix recorded seperately by the fifth member, Camgurlxx, will take you on an auditory journey inspired by the underground scene in Bali.

Sometimes naughty, sometimes nice, Camgurlxx is a quirky queen of spice. She finds inspiration by blending a taste of new sounds developed while living abroad with some childhood classics from growing up in Chicago. Music ranging from ghetto tech and booty house to her favorite filthy breaks and bass, Camgurl plays a diverse yet sexy mix of genres sprinkled with remixes of throwbacks that you won't be able to resist bouncing to."
