Report findings highlight the importance of representation for non-male artists at live music events, safety in night clubs and the boys club mentality still prevalent at many venues and gigs, as well as the dance culture at large.
The Progressing Gender Representation in UK Dance Music report - published today - is the first to apply detailed qualitative and quantitative data to the multiple barriers and challenges faced by non-male artists in the dance music scene.
"And it's the same as in hearing tracks on the radio or in streaming or in the charts [which are by non-male artists alone], which is 5% on the charts and 1% in radio, which is so small. As a radio presenter, that makes me very sad. "And sexual assault is rife in nightlife industry as well, and it's something that really needs to be talked about more and regulated."
In 2021 this rose, but only to 21%. And despite the improvement, the report found that a set of artists were repeatedly booked across line-ups, varying year by year, and meaning a wider group of more diverse acts were not able to break through onto the scene.DJ Jaguar has two different initiatives, set up to try to combat such issues, and give new entrants a fighting chance of success.
