SPFDJ, born Lina Jonsson, is a Swedish DJ and producer who has made a name for herself with uncompromising techno, acid, EBM and trance. Her career began in Leeds and London, where she became part of female DJ collectives such as *Universe of Tang* before finding her artistic home in Berlin. As a resident at Herrensauna, founder of the DIY sound system System.out Sound and head of the label Intrepid Skin, she has had a significant influence on the queer underground scene. Her sound is fast, raw and energetic – a mix that transforms club nights into ecstatic endurance training sessions and has conquered international festivals such as Dekmantel and Primavera.SPFDJ stands for **female empowerment** without staging it in a blatant way: her presence, energy and independence speak for themselves. She offers platforms for emerging artists, focuses on artistic independence and understands club culture as a space for self-determination. Her legendary sets – including at Tresor Basement and Boiler Room – show what change can sound like: intense, liberating, unmistakable. She is both a role model and a driving force for a new generation of female artists – proof that musical vision and attitude open doors, not only in the scene, but also in people's minds.
