We’re bringing big queer NRG with our first guest of the summer, someone we’ve admired for a long time, Adonis resident, Femme Fraiche promoter and all round scene instigator Michelle Manetti!!
DJ, vocalist, promoter & producer Michelle Manetti blossomed from being an underage clubber in the Late 90s UK Rave scene, into a well-loved and well-respected DJ and stalwart of East London's Queer scene. With over 17years of DJ-ing under her belt, it's safe to say she's no novice to the decks, with the passion, skill, panache and record collection of a well- established and well-refined DJ. Michelle has been an active advocate for supporting and promoting marginalised and underrepresented artists in the music scene, since her humble early years. She was the founder and Chief Editor of esteemed but now defunct female-run, female-focused music blog www.lipstickdisco.co.uk. She is also the promoter of Bi-Monthly female-focused queer girl party Fèmmme Fraîche at London’s prestigious queer hot-spot Dalston Superstore; which as well as offering a safespace and fun-filled party for queer wmxn, Fèmmme Fraîche also showcases female, female identified and non-binary House and Techno DJ’s, visual artists and performers; with Michelle as resident and guest DJ’s such as Honey Dijon, Rroxymore, Louisahhh, DJ Heather, Joyce Muniz, Nightwave, DJ Paulette, Smokin Jo, Alinka, Hannah Holland, Lauren Flax, CCL, Kate Simko and Jaguar as well as local, grass-roots DJ’s. Michelle is also resident and co-curator of of ‘Adonis Pour Femme’ which is the female focused room at the infamous London queer-rave Adonis. As well as her work as a promoter, Michelle is a revered DJ in her own right, with a strong presence on the East London underground queer scene, with residencies at her own party Fèmmme Fraîche and Adonis, as well regular guest appearances at parties such as, He.She.They, Little Gay Brother, Horsemeat Disco, Percolate, & Homoelectric and venues such as The Cause, Nightales and Dalston Superstore & can often be seen playing alongside the likes of Horsemeat Disco, Honey Dijon, Krystal Klear, Joe Goddard, Tama Sumo & more.
