FEMME DMC
ABOUT US
FEMME DMC is a Vienna-based collective founded in 2015 by Dacid Go8lin, dedicated to empowering women and non-binary individuals in the hip-hop scene. Our mission is to create a vibrant, inclusive space where artists can showcase their talents, speak their truth, and connect with a community that uplifts and celebrates them.
​
Supported by organizations such as Stadt Wien- MA7, and the BMKÖS (Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts and Culture), we have hosted events that feature powerful performances by MCs, DJs, dancers, and visual artists.
FEMME DMC has collaborated with incredible talents like ALYONA ALYONA, PAIGEY CAKEY, LAUGHTA and many others – all part of a movement that reshapes the narrative around gender in hip-hop.
​
But our vision goes beyond national borders. FEMME DMC is a bridge – between Austria and the world, between languages, cultures, and forms of expression. We believe in the power of international solidarity and in building our own stages, free from the limits of the mainstream industry. That’s why we create platforms where artists can thrive authentically and unapologetically.
Through music, dance, activism, and storytelling, we nurture spaces rooted in care, freedom, and visibility. Our goal is to build a global network of women and non-binary creatives in hip-hop – to celebrate one another, to grow together, and to rise as a collective voice.
