‘Girlz B Like’; More Than Ever — It Takes A Village with Marcia Carr…

The next edition of We Out Here Festival: It Takes A Village weekly radio series is here. A show paving the road to the festival, connecting artists from across the line up.

For this episode, DJ, broadcaster, producer, and Girlz B Like founder Marcia Carr steps onto the airwaves ahead of August. For Girlz B Like, “It Takes A Village” felt less like a theme and more like the whole story - A reflection on over a decade of building community, resilience, and space for women within underground music culture.

Founded in London in 2015, Girlz B Like began at The Book Club in Shoreditch with guests Josey Rebelle and Katie Barber, before growing into a grassroots movement centred around women DJs and selectors playing vinyl only. Built within a male dominated industry that often overlooked women selectors and DJs, the platform focused on creating its own space rather than waiting for a seat at someone else’s table.

From South East London venues to Peckham Levels and their long standing residency at Grow, Hackney Wick, Girlz B Like has continued to champion women across music culture while soundtracking dancefloors through house, funk, disco, broken beat, and global sounds under the motto: “Guys Dance, Girlz DJ.”

Where voices connect and communities grow, culture is almost always built together…
