electronic music events
As a woman operating in the spheres of electronic music events , it is rightly pointed out that we are in a minority - electronic music charts and magazines are dominated by male producers. And although I appreciate this being discussed and acknowledged in order to redress the balance of power, I also feel it just as interesting and vital to acknowledge and increase the visibility of what women are doing in these fields.(electronic music events)
There are an increasing number of resources online that champion the achievements and careers of women in music technology. First that springs to mind to me is international networks and databases Female Pressure and Pink Noises. Female Pressure has a comprehensive list of female DJs, VJs, electronic female musicians and also producers and recording engineers throughout the world. So this is a great first port of call if you are female and active in these fields or if you are a journalist or promoter/booking agent looking for female talent. The mailing list has been a very valuable resource for my own music career as I have made friends, collaborations and come across opportunities that have increased my profile and audience internationally. So, respect to Suzanne aka Electric Indigo and Tara Rodgers aka Analog Tara for setting up Female Pressure and Pink Noises respectively.
