Female DJs You Need to Know

Annie Mac is a true tastemaker—the UK-based DJ hosts an eponymous weekly show Friday nights on BBC Radio 1, and she curated her own "Annie Mac Presents" stage at this year’s sold-out Ultra Music Festival in Miami.

This LA-based DJ and producer is making some serious waves in the world of electronic music. In the three years since she started deejaying professionally, she's played shows all over the globe and has spun opening sets for acts like The Cure and deadmau5. Audrey's style is just as unique as her sound—she told us that she hopes to one day become the "Lady Gaga of electronic music"—and her debut EP, Ornamental Egos, was released this summer.

A favorite of the fashion crowd, Chelsea Leyland has spun parties for the likes of Valentino, Pamela Love, Burberry, Fendi, and Alice + Olivia. After moving from London to NYC, she's made a name for herself in the city, not only for her edgy street style, but for her killer music taste as well. Her sets seamlessly transition from classic rock (David Bowie, The Cure) to pop (Rihanna, Kanye West) to punk (Misfits, The Cramps), so each one of her playlists has something for everyone.

Sure, she’s a successful model signed with NEXT, but it was Harley’s eclectic music taste that helped her earn the title of Dior’s house DJ and a spot on the roster at Jay-Z’s management company, Roc Nation. Harley is also internationally known for her street style, and is often the among the best dressed ladies at the parties she spins.

Mia is a wildly talented turntablist with a vast knowledge of music to match. She's become one of most popular DJs among the fashion crowd—Prabal Gurung and Margherita Missoni are huge fans—and gets plenty of attention for her feminine, retro-inspired personal style. (Fun fact: she just designed her first capsule collection for New York-based label Pencey!) You'll often find Mia performing in tandem with her best friend and electronic violinist Caitlin Moe.
