We always welcome local and national statistics which allow cities to delve into its own contexts of cultural and societal barriers that exist for women and gender-diverse talent. This week we look at the dance music world with High Key Records. In April and May, they collected data from across 4 UK cities: Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester and London.

High Key Records is a UK/Birmingham-based underground music events collective and record label with an ethos that is community centred, and look to promote inclusion and diversity within underground music and their work. We also appreciate their explicit acknowledgement of diversity beyond gender, highlighting the need to incorporate all intersections of identity on the journey towards equity.
