DJ Gemma has been played on NTS shows including ZULI, with Untitled first played on 27 September 2016.

DJ Gemma (of Club Arak and Club Kooky fame) has been inspiring audiences and making people dance for over twenty-five years. She utilises her position to expose non-Western perceptions of sound and to subvert the limitations of mainstream dance music.

Gemma creates atmospheres with music that transcend the body and move energies. Of her extensive experience with Arabic music, she says; The music brings a celebration of life with it where you can't help but feel happy, this is something I want to share with the people around me. The sounds take you up and drop you from a height, only to bring you back up again. These ancient rhythms are so deeply embedded, they are part of the breath, they're in every pore of the body. They are circular rhythms, where the music wraps itself around you. These rhythms know who they are. I want people to be able to lose themselves in it, it's about inviting the fire of Arabic music to the dance floor.

DJ Gemma is best known for events including Club Arak (including the Club Arak CD 2006), Club Kooky and Club Bent at Performance Space. She has played at Womadelaide, Biennale of Sydney, Bellingen Global Music Festival, Peats Ridge Festival, Tropical Fruits, Mardi Gras, Queer Screen, Sydney Festival and Feast Festival Adelaide.

She has also provided sounds for performance art events including Guillermo Gomez Pena's Museum of Fetishized Identities and Aerialize's Walking on Air and fashion designers including Akira Isogawa and Jennifer Hawkins.
