In a music scene dominated by men, female talent is often overshadowed.

It’s no secret that electronic dance music (EDM) has created a massive cultural shift in today’s global music scene. Originally influenced by the sounds of 1970s disco to 1990s techno, this continuously evolving genre has exploded within the past decade and established a lucrative niche market within the music industry.

DJs and live acts are bringing fans together from all over the world to experience the euphoria of music festivals, raves and concerts. Overwhelmingly, this industry is dominated by male artists. Shockingly, only 12 of the 175 acts performing at this year’s Ultra Music Festival lineup involve female artists. In light of this, we want to showcase the variety of highly-talented women making waves in the EDM world.

Turn up your speakers and check out the following ten female DJs you need to hear.
