Dr. Martens introduces: The era of Hedda

Berlin-based DJ Hedda is on the rise - for all the good reasons. Having just played her first festival gig at MELT, she spoke to us about activism, identity, and surprising people. “A super random fact, I was competing in alpine skiing.” Swedish DJ Hedda (she/they) embodies the unexpected like no other. Having moved to Berlin three years ago, she has since made a name for herself, joined the collective Capsule Berlin and wrote an open letter against her former booking agency to stand up against a destructive system of patriarchy and racism within the industry. Now, she has just played her first festival gig on the Dr. Martens stage at MELT - just another milestone in the era of Hedda. Still, the young DJ’s journey took a few turns before she got serious with her music. “I grew up in kind of a music environment, but it was only when I moved to London that I got into it,” she shares. However, particularly in the beginning, it was difficult to gain ground. Hedda even stopped making music for a few years. “I felt that in Sweden, people didn’t fully appreciate the style I wanted to play. Then Covid happened, and it didn’t seem like the right timing anyhow.” Artist: Hedda https://www.instagram.com/heddadelin https://soundcloud.com/he-duh/sets/mxxx Production: OK Lah Productions https://www.instagram.com/oklah.productions DOP: Paul Bröse https://www.instagram.com/paulbroese DOP: Moritz Matthias https://www.instagram.com/moritz.tth Post-Production: Dave Nivison https://www.ins
