Future Female Sounds x Start From Scratch 30-minute DJ Workshops
Future Female Sounds (FFS) is a non-profit organization, community, and booking agency founded in 2017 on a mission to make DJ culture accessible to girls, women, and gender minorities globally. FFS is a female-founded and led global community of female and gender minority DJs and creators. They run DJ Programmes for future talent in several countries as well as facilitating events, seminars, digital content and network meetings that focus on incubating new talent, and strengthening existing talent, while making space for female and gender minority DJs in the music industry.
Being an implementing partner for the Start From Scratch program has created an even bigger impact in terms of how much undiscovered and underrepresented talent we have been able to support throughout EMEA this year. Our participants across London, Paris, Copenhagen & Istanbul have all expressed how incredibly crucial the DJ workshop was for them to gain not only the skills, but the confidence to pursue a passion and a career as DJs in the music industry, and with hundreds of sign-ups on the waiting list, we feel the demand is stronger than ever. Places are limited to 5 walk-in spots of the total 10 available per 30 minutes, so please arrive early to avoid disappointment.
