The Beatriarchy are a safe, inclusive online community which aims to amplify underrepresented groups such as womxn, LGBTQ+, Black, Asian and other ethnic minorities in the underground electronic music scene.

Run by DJs Kitsta and Gracie T from Manchester and Sheffield respectively, The Beatriarchy was born from Gracie being mansplained to one too many times on white male-dominated tuneshare groups. “We got chatting and agreed that a lot of the online Facebook communities were gatekept and biased towards straight white males. We decided it was time to level the playing field and shine a light on those underrepresented voices, and so we started our own tuneshare group on Facebook, The Beatriarchy. It has now grown into an amazing online community and we’ve just launched our mix and interview series on Foodhall Radio and Soundcloud.

The Beatriarchy are headed back to Risen Festival again this year, a day celebrating the divine feminine with a line up of solely female, trans and non-binary DJs! Kitsta has mixed tunes solely by performers at Risen this year including tracks from Paramida, Giulia Tess and Ell Murphy, Jay Carder, FROND, herself and more.
