A writer and DJ in Dublin since the 1990s, Kate Butler has a monthly show on Dublin Digital Radio (ddr), inspired by rave culture, community clubbing and the disorientating futurism of contemporary dance music. In 2017, she began producing Atomic, a series on ddr which gives young people an opportunity to host their own radio show - over 60 young people have participated. Atomic has expanded into a pilot programme to teach primary school girls how to DJ (in collaboration with Music Generation Dublin City). Recent projects include Sonic Cyborgs: FemTech ‘n the Studio, a short film written and produced by Kate, and directed by Eavan Aiken. Kate has also worked on Synthesize_Her_, a workshop designed by Viva Dean that teaches analogue synthesis / noise-making technology to women and non-binary people. In September 2022, Kate co-curated For What You Dream Of: Talks, Dance Rhythms & Afro-Future Sonic Imaginaries, featuring Jenn Nkiru and Nkisi, at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. Kate has DJed recently at the National Concert Hall (part of Una Mullally and Conner Habib's Utopia series), MOLI, Creative Futures Academy and Open Ear. Kate is currently researching and writing This is a Story about Control: Music, Technology and Gendered Roles of Creativity, a book and documentary about women and non-binary people using technology to make music.
