Te Whanganui-A-Tara/Wellington, New Zealand

Gimpgirl began DJing back in the early 2000s. Influenced by a diverse interest in music - from punk and new wave, to hip-hop, dub, alternative and UK indie. After spending the 90s raving and clubbing in the UK and NZ, it was a natural progression to get behind the decks.

She found her niche playing Breaks. Playing in some of Wellington’s well-known clubs and bars back in the early 2000s during the peak of a thriving underground scene. From Phoenix, the legendary Studionine and Nine Bar, and the iconic underground nightclub Sandwiches, playing alongside well-known Wellington DJs, and supporting international DJs including Adam Freeland, Stanton Warriors, and Tayo.

After an extended period away from regular DJing, she's returned to the craft, and plays both vinyl and digital, blending Breaks with Tech House, Electro, Progressive House and Minimal Techno, to deliver driving basslines and infectious rhythms to the dance floor.
