Este estudio explora las experiencias de mujeres DJs y productoras de música electrónica en Portugal, analizando las relaciones de género en la escena underground. A través de entrevistas en profundidad a 16 artistas, se identifican barreras como la subestimación profesional, el cuestionamiento y discriminación, pero también estrategias de existencia: autogestión de eventos, colectivos femeninos y uso de plataformas digitales para visibilizar su trabajo y desafiar estructuras de exclusión.
