GG Vybe is the first female DJ crew in Frankfurt. What women experience, they do politically. Above all, they want one thing: to make good music and be recognized for it.
M.Sometimes people mean it particularly well. Then they say DJanes instead of DJs because they believe they are doing everything extra right. You don’t just want to “mean” the women, you want to signal that you think it’s cool and have respect for it, a woman at the DJ booth. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work in this case. DJ stands for Disc Jockey. An English word, neither male nor female nor anything else. Where should the “Jane” fit in there? In the light of the debate about the participation of all people in all areas of life, it is one of those things that especially happens to women. Especially those who penetrate into areas that are still mainly reserved for men, without any meaningful explanation. “We are DJs”, says Meliha Cinar, “very simple”.
That it happened that way was actually not planned at all: A female DJ crew to stir up Frankfurt. Nobody had that in mind when the workshops with DJ Nikki on Fleek started at the end of the decade, back then with lots of women who were unknown to each other. It was about the music, about learning to hang up, and of course, also about making music together with other women. After all, the workshops arose out of a deficit: almost everywhere you only saw men at the lectern. Johanna Kehl says: “The feminist idea was there from the beginning.” But that something like this would establish itself from it?
