Femme Bass Mafia is taking over the Lynk&Co on the Saturday of ADE Lab!
Femme Bass Mafia (FBM) is the project of a passionate music crew that aims to provide a safer space for women, trans and non-binary people for the learning and practising of DJing and music production. Their goal is to support our adelphs in sharing their vision of bass music. Adelphs referring to both sisterhood and brotherhood without distinction of sex or gender. It supposes supportive and balanced relations between people. Besides that, FBM encourage eclectic selections, but are also here to celebrate the diversity of bass music – the up-tempo world that consists of Electro, Drum and Bass, Jungle, Breaks, UK Bass, Dubstep, Garage, Juke, Footwork & more. FBM trusts that including a more diverse and inclusive artistic presence among these genres is essential!
