female:pressure is a transnational online database and network of women*, AFAB, transgender, transfeminine, transmasculine, intersex [+gender optional], genderqueer, gender nonconforming, a-gender and/or non-binary DJs, musicians, composers, producers, visual artists, agents, journalists and researchers working in the realms of electronic music and visual arts. It is a publicly accessible source of information, a means of communication and a tool to disclose the existence and the work of women*, non-binary, transgender and gender fluid people in this seemingly cis-male dominated field.

Founded by Vienna based Electric Indigo in 1998, female:pressure is the technological answer to the recurring assertions of an alleged lack of female* artists in this field. The project started out as a simple html list until Viennese media artist and open source expert Andrea Mayr programmed the database in 2001. With about 180 listed artists from 19 countries 20 years ago, female:pressure can now be proud of including over 3000 members from 86 countries [August 2023]. Members can log in and update their individual profile, most of the profiles link to the artists' web pages and contain contact information.

"Why are there so few women in the electronic music scene?" We have heard this question countless times. While we think that the perceived lack of gender diversity is caused by a complex combination of societal factors, experience shows that women* are hardly less active. In fact, their activities are less recognised and additionally often forgotten in historiography. Raising visibility [and audibility] of players in the electronic music scenes is therefore one of our main goals."

All-male acts make up 70% of major US music festival lineups. Let's talk about it.

The inspiration behind #bookmorewomen is the pervasive gender imbalance that currently plagues music festivals.

The goal is to provide a visual representation of the problem, start conversations, track progress, and work towards better representation on future lineups.
