New Zealand has its own squad of women DJs and Queen St nightclub Fu Bar even holds a regular she-J only club night, Girls Love Bass. The leading female DJs include:
Philippa: specialises in house and will shortly release a mix album through In Music.
Claire Del: Deep house is also the forte of this long-time stalwart of the New Zealand dance scene.
Halogen Girl: aka Emma Gilkinson, favours minimal techno and electro and has just returned from the 2002 Red Bull Music Academy in Brazil.
Siren: aka Amanda Heywood, plays hard house and high NRG trance.
Chelsea: And respect is due to the now-London based Chelsea, the only female DJ to ever win the b-Net award for DJ of the Year. She was one of the original pioneers of the New Zealand dance scene.
