It Doesn’t Have To Be International Women’s Day To Talk About Women

NOW READING •

Here at UKF we wholeheartedly believe women should be celebrated for their talents, not just to fill up a diversity quota. We are steadfast in our mission for authenticity and recognition for everybody who creates within the bass music sphere. Women deserve to stand on stages illuminated by their own brilliance, not as tokens of diversity, but as masters of their craft.

While strides have been made toward inclusivity and representation, the journey towards equality remains ongoing.

“Women are underrepresented in key roles in the music industry. Positions of authority, from senior leadership through to roles in Artists and Repertoire and production have historically been more likely to be occupied by men. This is reflected in the unequal representation of female artists in the rosters of artists at major record labels, in airtime, streaming and as headliners at music festivals” -Misogyny In Music Report 2024

As the industry evolves, so too does the pipeline of opportunity. There are still fewer women available to cover than men. Yet, with each passing day, week, month, and year, the tide of change grows stronger, sweeping away barriers and paving the way for a future where equality reigns organically.

That being said, we wanted to remind you of all the amazing women we’ve covered on UKF.com since last International Women’s Day and we hope the number is even greater next year.
