This week we're joined in the studio by DJ Thaen, Aless Arias, Missy3000 and Mushii, who are all part of local collective Pho The Girls.
SYS Sister Sounds is an organisation founded by Maggie Tra, built to bring more women, non-binary and trans DJs to the forefront with DJ workshops, a music label and events ran under Pho The Girls.
Pho The Girls is more than a collective, it's a community and intended to support and uplift emerging female, non-binary and trans DJs.
PTG provides a space for beginner DJs to learn and explore music free from judgement and with the support of an inclusive community.
As a community PTG has been recognised both locally and internationally, being featured on Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, FBi Radio, Mixcloud and more.
As a group, they organise our own events to create opportunities and provide a rising alternative to all too common male heavy line ups.
They're members have organised and run events with all femme line-up at Sydney Festival, Ace Hotel, Ching-a-lings, Parramatta Lanes, The Lord Gladstone, Club77 and more. The collective is 30+ members strong, with DJ’s from diverse backgrounds playing a range of genres.
The majority join through Maggie’s DJ workshops, which provide a safe space to learn from a POC, female DJ, or, through our open decks nights which aims to give newer DJs more experience playing out.
