Change the Beat – NEW AFEM MEMBER
AFEM New Member Update – Change the Beat
Change the Beat (formerly #23by23) partners with record labels and assists them in discovering and signing women & gender non-conforming producers to help equalize their rosters while also mentoring new artists on their production and career journey’s in dance music.
The Non-profit was founded by Sydney Blu with the help of Native Instruments. To support this initiative, Label Radar and Beatport, are partnering by hosting remix competitions with labels participating like HE.SHE.THEY, Insomniac Records, Poker Flat Recordings, SOMA Records, Anjunadeep & Anjunabeats, Hospital Records, Toolroom Records, Club Sweat, Gorgon City’s Realm Records, Desert Hearts, SOLA Records, Soul Clap Records, Circus Recordings and more.
To be a part of it as an artist, if you identify as woman, trans, or non-binary, you can join Change the Beat’s Discord to connect with other producers and submit your tracks for the grand prize of signing your record to one of these A-list labels and some other fantastic Native Instruments gear.
The upcoming year marks the commencement of our organization’s next stage, aimed at disseminating our message extensively across the global sphere via a series of club events and showcases featuring our top-tier headliners and accomplished alumni. Since its inception in December 2021, we have awarded over 50 brand new female, trans, and non-binary artists prizes and released their records.
