Underplayed director Stacey Lee on the lack of women in electronic music: “When I saw the stats, I was horrified”
Although some people might still try and tell you differently, the facts indicate that electronic music still has a massive inequality problem.
Despite the fact that several of its pioneers were women - the likes of Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram - it’s men who have come to dominate the industry, particularly in its more technical roles.
Why is that, though, and what can be done to change the situation for the better? These are the questions posed by Underplayed, a new documentary that examines the issues of gender inequality in the electronic music scene.
