dj g2g: Dancing at the Edge of Joy and Resistance

In the space between beats and breath, dj g2g moves like a whisper and a roar - unapologetic, radiant, and fiercely alive. A producer, artist, and dj weaving threads of wild joy, fierce resistance, and wild tenderness in equal measure into every set. She carve out sanctuaries of chaos and connection, where bodies sway beneath moonlight and stories unfold like secret rituals. dj g2g invites us all to dance in freedom’s shadow, to hold fiercely to love, and to create worlds where truth is both a rebellion and a balm.

Rooted in nature’s quiet power and the pulse of underground scenes, g2g conjures spaces where vulnerability is power, and freedom tastes like both sweat and stardust.

INTERVIEW JESPER GUDBERGSEN @yessirjesper

HAIR MAKEUP AND STYLING ALECTRA ROTHSCHILD / MASCULINA @iwantmasculina

Hi g2g ! Tell us about yourself – what are you about and how do you wish for people to see you?

I’m a producer, dj, and artist—a lesbian non-binary transsexual who is very very cute, and that’s exactly how I want the world to see me too. But more than that, I hope people see me as a generous and loving soul. Someone who creates space, shares joy, and makes people feel held.

What’s the first piece of music that ever made you feel seen?

Discovering SOPHIE was a turning point. The way she collided sound worlds—making something raw, weird, even uncomfortable—into the most infectious pop? That shook my entire perspective on what music could be. It was unapologetic and beautiful and true. 

RIP SOPHIE <3

You seem to always be traveling—when you land in a new city, what’s the first thing you look for?

Always nature. I need to touch grass wherever I go. That, and a good place for laser hair removal (hehe priorities).

How do you think subcultures today are evolving in response to the climate crisis?

My hope is that more people within subcultures are getting loud, organising, and refusing complacency. We need those voices now - radical, loving, creative energy pushing for change.

What’s the most unexpectedly beautiful thing you’ve seen while traveling?

Too many to count - but the vast, wild silence of Patagonia and the ornate peace of Thailand’s temples both struck something deep in me. Also, jambu, tangyuan, mango sticky rice, jackfruit chips, burdock chips… that’s beauty too.

My hope is that more people within subcultures are getting loud, organising, and refusing complacency. We need those voices now—radical, loving, creative energy pushing for change.

How do you approach style—what does getting dressed and made up feel like for you?

It’s how I arrive as myself. It’s more than expression - it’s embodiment. Getting dressed, putting on makeup, it's a ritual of truth. It brings me into alignment with who I really am.

If your sets could be described as a landscape, what would they look like?

Picture a room full of friends - some dancing, some crying, some kissing, some gaming, some singing, some laughing, some cooking a wildly good meal. Someone's on the table for no reason, someone's having a heart-to-heart, and there are cats everywhere. Maybe 50 people total, all doing something different but all connected.

Chaotic, full of energy, messy, beautiful, fun, hot, emotional. That’s my sound.

Where do you feel the freest to fully be yourself?

Only in nature. When I’m immersed in the earth - surrounded by trees or water or mountains - I feel like my truest self. Save Mother Earth.

Please. <3

Have you ever had a night where the music, the space, the people, and the feeling aligned so perfectly it felt otherworldly?

So many times. One that stands out is when my bestie Rico bring me to play in Medellín. Everyone throwing ass and screaming all night. It’s so special.

What’s an underrated city or scene people need to know about?

The underground scene of Saigon. The energy, the people - it’s so alive and very, very queer.

What are you finding beautiful right now that others might overlook?

My transness. And pisang goreng.

Only in nature. When I’m immersed in the earth - surrounded by trees or water or mountains - I feel like my truest self. Save Mother Earth.

Please. <3

Do you see parallels between djing and activism, or nightlife and resistance?

Absolutely. Your set can be a statement. You can choose music made by people whose values align with yours. You can refuse to platform artists or institutions that do harm. Even what you bring into the booth - symbols, gestures, messages - can carry meaning. 
The dancefloor has always been a place for resistance. It still is.

How do you protect your creativity while always on the move?

By saying no - especially to gigs from institutions that don't align with my values, even if they offer more exposure. This scene doesn’t need more compromise. It needs integrity. The dancefloor was born out of resistance - let’s not forget that.

What’s one thing you wish people understood better about global underground scenes?

You can’t generalize them. Each one is shaped by its own people, politics, and geography. I’ve been lucky - many of the scenes I’ve been part of are deeply queer, and I hope that remains the heartbeat of this culture.

Is there an item you always travel with that holds personal meaning?

Yes. I always carry a few things from someone I love. Things like a little cat figure, a bracelet, an eyeshadow, a t-shirt, a flower, a belt, and more. I believe they carry their energy, and bring me luck wherever I go.

What do you dream about creating next—something you haven’t done yet but can feel brewing?

I’m working on my debut EP/album - all original tracks, no edits or remixes. That’s huge for me. I also have some exciting collaborations dropping soon, and I’m scoring two video games right now (can’t say more yet, but I'm buzzing to share it all soon!).
