#102 Cougar – DISCOnnect cast

We offer artists a platform to reach you far from the club scene - connected day and night. C O U G A R [@miss-cougar, Warsaw | Poland] Cougar is a Warsaw-based DJ and producer whose sets move between disco, house, UK garage and electro, drawing on the energy of the ’90s and early 2000s. Driven by energetic synths, infectious melodies and euphoric vintage vocals, her sound is both nostalgic and sharply dancefloor-focused. Radio host at Polish Radio Four, formerly behind “Groovoterapia” on Radio Kampus, and co-founder of the San Junipero Girls Crew — a collective shaping Warsaw’s queer electronic scene between 2019 and 2022. Her performances span major Polish festivals including Audioriver, Open’er, Tauron Nowa Muzyka, LAS, Carbon, Snowfest, ING Silesia Beats and Wisłoujście, as well as international appearances in France and Germany. As a producer, she reworks classic Polish disco cuts and collaborates with emerging alternative artists. Her debut single “Heatwave” was released via Pets Recordings as part of a compilation highlighting Polish LGBTQ musicians. She has shared the stage with Folamour, Mall Grab, Effy, Vladimir Dubyshkin and Hiroko Yamamura.
