Female:Pressure

Female:Pressure is an international network of female, transgender and non-binary artists in the fields of electronic music and digital arts founded by Electric Indigo in 1998 : from musicians, composers and DJs to visual artists, cultural workers and researchers. A worldwide resource of talent that can be searched after criteria like location, profession, style or name. "Why are there so few women active in the electronic music scene?" - each one of us has heard this question a thousand times... Here is the answer: It's not our number, it's about how and if we are recognized!

It was founded as a information resource and network for improving communication and representation of its members. It is notable for raising the profile of women and their work, including through festivals and media campaigns.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Since 2013, female:pressure biennially publishes the Facts Survey, a data ascertainment to survey the gender ratio of artists performing at important international electronic music festivals and in the electronic music scene.
