Phatstoki is the co-founder of P*ssy Party, a night that exists to create a regular platform for queer, femme and women DJs/artists to practice, incubate, exchange, and expose. She has since received acclaim from local press such as Bubblegum Club (cover featue) and Between 10and5. P*ssy Party has steadily grown its stature in the city, in large part on the back of Phatstoki’s clear insights and masterful, moving DJ sets. The team has since hosted parties in Durban and Cape Town, and collaborated with international acts, providing workshops for those eager to learn.
