Discwoman
Discwoman is a New York based collective, booking agency, and event platform representing and showcasing female-identified talent in the electronic music community. It was founded in 2014 by Frankie Hutchinson, Emma Burgess-Olson (DJ UmFang), and Christine Tran. [1] Discwoman's regular club nights in New York City and touring events highlight emerging and established artists from around the world.[2]

In a 2015 report by female:pressure it is stated that men comprised 82% of 44 international festivals’ lineups. [3] Discwoman is part of a growing movement to help counter the underrepresentation of female-identified artists throughout the music festival and event industry.

Since its inagural event at Brooklyn’s Bossa Nova Civic Club [4], Discwoman has presented showcases in Boston [5], Detroit's Movement Festival [6], Mexico City [7] [8], Montreal [9], Philadelphia[10], Pittsburgh's VIA Festival [11], San Juan [12], Seattle's Decibel Festival [13], and Toronto [14].
