Let's Get the Girls Behind the Decks Please!

There’s a pandemic of straight, cis, white male DJs flooding club and festival line-ups. 

In 2019, research from the University of Portsmouth estimated that in the UK, only ten percent of DJs were female. Even within the music industry itself, only 18% of women stated that they worked in dance music, according to the 2023 music census. Logically, it makes sense; as a woman it’s of course difficult to break into a male dominated field, but how do we invigorate more women into trying DJing?
