THE ORGANISERS
Elijah is an artist manager and music consultant by day, and a writer and DJ by night. In 2023 his project the ‘Yellow Squares’ explores creative sustainability with post it style notes on Instagram, Lectures around the world and at SOAS where he is a community fellow, on Billboards in London, in art installations, and in music.

GASH COLLECTIVE is an Ireland-based platform focused on supporting female, trans, queer, non-binary and other underrepresented people in music production and DJing. GASH was founded on International Women’s Day 2016. Inspired by other like-minded initiatives around the world, notably Female:Pressure’s VISIBILITY project and ’FACTS’ survey, which revealed festivals, labels and clubs worldwide barely feature 10% of women. Through sharing ideas, collaborations, safe space initiatives, carefully curated parties and events, an ongoing mix series, as well as production and DJ workshops, GASH intends to shine a light on the marginalised talent that often goes unnoticed or unrecognised across the island of Ireland.Â
To date, GASH has taught numerous free workshops across Ireland, lectured in several universities, released two compilations, maintained a dedicated monthly mix series on Irish broadcaster Radió na Life and curated line-ups for both small, independent and large-scale festivals and events.
