This episode, we’re joined by Emily Bass, Executive Director of FEMME HOUSE, an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for women, gender-expansive, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ creatives in the technical and behind-the-scenes areas of music. Emily shares how FEMME HOUSE is breaking systemic barriers in production, mixing, engineering, and DJing through free workshops, online courses, mentorship, and a thriving community.

We dive into Emily’s own journey from PR and crisis communications to leading FEMME HOUSE, the importance of representation both on stage and behind the boards, and why community is everything in today’s music landscape.

PLUS: we chat about the parallels between the jam scene and rave culture, and why good music taste is half the battle when it comes to being a great DJ.

Whether you’re an aspiring producer, a jam scene lifer, or simply curious about the future of music equity, this conversation proves that representation and community are the keys to lasting change.
