DJ She-Ra
review

W1 Radio: Meet DJ She-Ra, a London-based DJ travelling through synthwave, Italo disco and beyond.

London-based and Melbourne-made, DJ She-Ra has been behind the decks since 2003, building an eclectic sound that moves between synthwave, new beat, Italo disco, melodic house and techno. Her sets often venture further into goth, post-punk, dark disco, synthpop, space disco and psytrance, combining darker electronic textures with an energetic, playful approach to the dancefloor.

Over the past two decades, DJ She-Ra has performed internationally at events and venues including VHS Visions in Stockholm, Stranger Nights in the Netherlands, Outland in Toronto, Ibiza Rocks, London’s Egg and Electrowerkz, Revolver and Laser Highway in Australia, among many others. She has also shared line-ups with artists including The Prodigy, Waveshaper, Robert Parker, NINA, VHS Dreams, Makeup and Vanity Set, Betamaxx, Danger and Starcadian.

Her involvement in electronic music extends beyond DJing. In 2021, she produced Outrun The Sun UK, an all-day event dedicated to synthwave, further reflecting her long-standing connection to the scene and the communities surrounding it.
