Women from North Africa and South West Asia redefining electronic music

"Despite the challenges that the electronic music community in general—and women in particular—face, there remains a deep desire to create, build, rebuild and share music from behind the decks to dancefloors worldwide" - Bandcamp points out to the generation of female producers from South West Asia and North Africa redefining the sound of electronic music. A few of them are:

Nesa Azadekhah from Iran is combining instrumental, vocal, and electronic elements with field recordings

Globetrotting producer Deena Abdelwahed from Tunisia - joyful dance beats and hardcore sensibilities

Turkish sound artist Anadol - Turkish pop, Arabesk, loops, psychedelia...

Rooted in the Sahara and her Berber Tunisian heritage, Azu Tiwaline’s music is full of jagged synths and concussive drums

Kuwaiti experimental musician and conceptual artists Fatima Al-Qadiri draws on Islamic and Arabic folk traditions
