Discolocas was born from the desire to create a safe and responsible space where women who love music—whether DJs, selectors, record collectors, or simply passionate about sound—can have a new, fun and enriching experience. In the music world in general, spaces for women are limited, so it's important for us to create and maintain a space to share knowledge, build community and celebrate women in music. The experience is special both for those behind the decks and for the audience, as we've seen that the energy created when the music is in the hands of women is truly unique. It's very important for us to contribute through our work and effort to ensuring these spaces exist within the nyc community.

What does A Great Day in Ñiu Yor look like for you?

My perfect day en NY es que esté a 80 degrees, dar una vuelta por el parque y hacer picnic, para luego ir a un concierto o block party con los amiguis… un día de buena música y baile al aire libre con buena compañía! — Linda

Para mi un dia perfecto, un dia de concierto en Verano, es salir de la casa por un café, caminar por mi barrio Flatbush para llegar al Prospect Park y disfrutar de caminar por el parque en mi way al show gratuito que hacen en verano. Terminar el dia disfrutando de música con los friends sin haber salido de mi barrio. La oportunidad que New York te ofrece de disfrutar todo un dia con solo caminar. — Loly
