Euphoric energy _{by Alessia Belsito-Riera}

An electrifying lineup of wāhine DJs is plugging into Pōneke. Settling in for a sizzling set at Heartbreaker Bar & Restaurant on the 5^th of April, Girls on Cue presents a night of rumbling rhythms, bass-heavy beats, and crackling kick-ons.

“Girls on Cue is a big part of my plan to diversify Wellington’s nightlife – shining a light on genres and artists that don’t usually get the spotlight,” organiser Ronaldo Vollenhoven of Downbad Promotions says. “I want to create an event that both the artists and attendees will always remember.”

Designed to let the DJs play to their hearts’ content, Girls on Cue has “no restrictions, just full throttle energy” Vollenhoven beams, adding that the setlist spans UKG, drum and bass, techno, house, trap, 140, garage, and more. “I’ve handpicked each DJ for their ability to bring that fire behind the decks, and I can’t wait for Wellington to experience it.”

Cooking up the blends and beats are Te Whanganui-a-Tara trailblazers BVRBWYRE, edii, and Clova alongside Auckland audio aficionados Hollie, danni, and Edenna.

BVRBWYRE [pictured] is especially excited to bring her vibe – a sexy, empowering set with high-energy bass at the forefront – to a fresh audience at an event that celebrates women DJs. “I’m always playing across genres and blending sounds in playful ways that keep the dancefloor moving,” she says. “I love DJing as a creative outlet and a way to express myself while helping shape the dancefloor community. We’re creating connections and sharing the joy of music.”
