Ivanka (Minxy) Selkirk (GB)

Ivanka Selkirk, better known behind the decks as Mini Da Minx, is a music industry professional, international DJ, speaker, and advocate for parents working in music. With over 20 years experience, her reputation as one of the UK's most energetic and respected DJs is richly deserved.

With roots in Czechia, Cape Town, and London, her signature genre-bending blend of Electro, Bass House and Breakbeat have made her a popular fixture on the UK club and festival circuit and beyond.

With performances at Glastonbury Festival, Ministry of Sound, Burning Man, Beats for Love, and Let It Roll to name but a few, she is also a long-standing resident at Stanton Sessions and Mutoid Waste Company events.

However, not content with confining her infectious energy to the dancefloor, Minxy is just as enthusiastic putting her experience to work behind the scenes. As the founder of Minxed – Nurturing Creative Connections, a creative consultancy and strategic matchmaking agency, she connects artists, brands, and creative professionals through values-led collaboration.

By harnessing her lived experience and professional background, she is leading the charge in conversations around that ever-elusive beast – namely balancing parenthood with a sustainable career in music.

She has spoken on industry panels at Brighton Music Conference, including a PRS panel, and has organised and moderated Motherhood & DJing at Brighton Music Conference and WeDJ Expo, bringing together artists and industry professionals to share experiences and explore practical solutions.
