This event is part of international music festival Le Guess Who?.
**Linn da Quebrada**
Her research "begins with the body as a process of excavation and rescue”, embracing "the idea that being an artist is to create from one's own existence, in constant motion and transformation". From her early hits and acclaimed documentary - until her national and international appearances on movies and TV shows - Linn da Quebrada has been recognized for deeply reflecting on her own body, identities, genders and behaviors. As a trans woman and LGBTQIA+ advocate, the art of the singer, actress and multimedia activist stands out as a political tool, addressing themes that intersect with her experiences and worldview.
**Mina Galán**
Fusing experimental club, Spanish vocals and her signature genre-blurring edge, Mina Galán is a DJ on a breakout moment, rising from underground favourite to one of the most in-demand names in music, fashion and nightlife. In less than a year behind the decks, she’s already headlined festival stages, collaborated with fashion brands and been a cultural force to watch. Her party Club Stamina - founded in London and now popping up between Paris, Bogotá & Ibiza - has become a platform for a new generation of trans femme DJs and Latin club trailblazers.
**Mirands**
Mirands is an open format DJ and co-founder of BATEKOO, a vital cultural movement amplifying Brazil’s Black and LGBTQIA+ voices. Celebrating diversity through music and dance, BATEKOO empowers marginalized voices. Known for his unique perspective, Mirands is a selector who brings sharp curation and feeling to every set. Through the simple intention to dance and play, his performances move the audience through funk, afrobeat, afrohouse, house and voguebeat.
**Juju ZL**
BATEKOO collective brings to Le Guess Who? their Master of Ceremony: Juliana Andrade aka Juju ZL. The model and performer centers embodiment and body awareness in her work, delivering powerful speeches on respect and plurality. Her DJ sets draw from deep funk research, shaped by her experience as a dancer and a woman from the periphery. For Juju, funk is a cultural force that deserves reverence, and she transmits with purpose spreading sounds from the favela to the world.
**smother b2b YoungWoman**
Amsterdam-based Los Angles - a collective showcasing and nurturing trans talent - invites to Le Guess Who? 2025 two of their powerhouse DJs. A rigorous sonic maximalist who thrives at the intersection of many musical realms while transcending them all, YoungWoman’s explosive energy and irresistible playfulness always leaves her audience spellbound. She will be joined behind the decks by the doll of many trades smother. DJ, writer, communications girlboss at a cultural fund - and co-founder of Los Angles - her sonic range goes from ethereal ambient sounds to cunty pop vocals and hard-hitting beats that will have you in a chokehold from start to finish.
