It Needs To Be Good Though
On the club scene and at festivals, people still dance all too often to the beats of male DJs. Men still predominantly have the deciding vote here, but over the past decade, these spaces have discovered that female producers also exist. Somewhere in between, LGBTQIA+ artists are also trying to gain a space on the same stage. Nevertheless, the live music industry is still mainly a heteronormative, male business. In reaction, various queer feminist collectives and initiatives have emerged in recent years, building their own ‘safe.r space’ and working towards greater diversity, equality and inclusivity on the dance floor.
