DHAMMA
Cairo, Egypt
Members : Yas Meen Selectress, MARTINA, Rajia, Maria Saba
Genres : Bass music inclusive and open-minded
An all-female project born out of the vibrant Cairo underground scene, Dhamma promotes a highly avant-garde club culture: “Our aesthetic oscillates between drum, UK garage, and Jersey,” say the members of the collective. “Our initiative is community-based and led by women, in a city where inclusive cultural venues are very rare.”
The motto for the girls of Dhamma? “Amplify marginalized voices!”
Rozzma, El Kontessa, Liliane Chlela, Hassan Abou Alam… Since its creation in April 2024, the team has managed to seamlessly link the turbulent local scene with demanding international acts. Deep in the sweaty clubs of Cairo, Dhamma imagines cross-border, open-minded nights dedicated to underrepresented artists.
The collective has several areas of development: Club N’ Bass evenings—a collection of events dedicated to bass music; Les Bath Tagreeby, hybrid evenings where “live performances collide in a raw and open format”; and a third component to come, dedicated to training, with practical DJing and production workshops.
