02 Mar NEWS | Insolate on Authenticity, Diversity, and the Power of Techno in Glas Slavonije Feature
In a new interview with Glas Slavonije, Insolate (Sunčica Barišić) shares her thoughts on authenticity, gender equality, and the transformative power of electronic music. Reflecting on her 30-year career, she discusses the challenges and triumphs of being a woman in a male-dominated industry, the importance of community and respect in club culture, and her ongoing commitment to supporting diversity and equality in techno.
Insolate recalls how her journey began in Osijek’s underground scene, where her passion for music was met with both curiosity and skepticism. Despite early doubts, she built a career that has taken her to Berghain, Tomorrowland, Exit, and Dimensions, all while staying true to her roots. She emphasizes the need for boldness and authenticity, especially for women entering the scene, and highlights the role of music in breaking down barriers and fostering unity.
A vocal advocate for women’s rights and inclusivity, Insolate has used her platform to challenge stereotypes and promote a culture of respect and solidarity. Her Hush! events, including the upcoming International Women’s Day celebration, continue to create spaces where people can connect through music, free from judgment.
Her message to aspiring artists is clear: “Be loud, authentic, and brave—the scene needs the diversity and energy that only you can bring.”
