The Jaguar Foundation makes several recommendations to address the issue and the full breakdown is available on their website.
Qualitative research shows that jungle, drum and bass, techno and EDM genres continue to attract male-dominated and largely white crowds, reflecting the artist make-up of those scenes. Ageism is also more of an issue for women than men, reflecting wider societal issues. There is continued pressure from the ‘male gaze’ that impacts the female image, both in person and online, with women in music being judged more on their appearance than men. A number of issues, such as the risk of sexual harassment or objectification, late night-travel (often solo) and intoxicated crowds, lead to marginalised genders feeling unsafe when attending and working in live spaces. A similar pattern is evident across radio airplay, with less than 1% of the top 200 airplay tracks across 2020-21 of twelve UK radio stations being only female or non-binary artists, as well as across Spotify’s key electronic music playlists which featured 25% of female-fronted electronic music artists. Just 5% of dance music that featured in the UK charts had exclusively female or non-binary artists as the primary artist and feature. This report comes at a critical time, with the 2022 International Music Summit (IMS) reporting that UK dance/electronic music is increasing as a share of people’s listening for the first time in eight years, predicting the start of a new growth cycle.
The report found evidence supporting long-held beliefs about gender disparity in dance music – across the live industry, radio airplay, streaming platforms and in the gender balance of music organisation employees – as well as exploring a number of other discriminatory issues that female and non-binary people face. The drive is to improve the pipeline of female, trans and non-binary talent in dance music. The Foundation was set up by the host of BBC Introducing on Radio 1 Dance, Jaguar, in 2020 following her creation of the Future 1000 DJs programme with Future DJs (now Virtuoso).
Many artists feel unsafe in nightclubs and other live spaces – more to be done on safeguarding and codes of conduct. A distinct lack of mainstream representation for female or non-binary artists in live dance music – gender equality still an issue across festival line-ups. The Jaguar Foundation has released the findings of its report, Progressing Gender Representation In UK Dance Music, which aims to data on gender balance in UK dance music, using research from a range of artists and industry executives.
