Sydney Blu helps Change The Beat national tour with focus on empowering women

Sydney Blu is a JUNO-nominated, chart-topping powerhouse with releases on Mau5trap, Drumcode, Toolroom, and more…

Change the Beat is a non-profit organization founded by Sydney Blu, dedicated to empowering women and gender-expansive producers in the dance and electronic music industry. Through mentorship, education, and career development, the initiative aims to elevate underrepresented voices by providing access to production tools, creative mentorship, and career-building opportunities.

Originally launched as #23by23 with the support of Native Instruments and in partnership with Beatport, Change the Beat continues its mission of promoting gender equality in electronic music. The organization actively works to challenge the industry's current gender imbalance—where only 5% of signed artists are women or gender-expansive individuals—by collaborating with record labels to increase representation.

A key part of Change the Beat's approach includes remix competitions hosted on Beatport's Label Radar platform. Major labels like Drumcode, Mau5trap, Anjunadeep, Anjunabeats, HE.SHE.THEY, Insomniac Records, Nervous Records, and Toolroom Records are among those participating, providing emerging artists with opportunities to release music, win prizes like Native Instruments gear, and gain valuable exposure.

Looking ahead to 2024/25, Change the Beat will expand its global reach through club events, showcases, and festival appearances featuring both established headliners and program alumni. These events will not only highlight the music nurtured within the program but also offer educational workshops designed to mentor new artists, led by experienced female ambassadors in the industry.

Join us on Friday November 22nd as we welcome Sydney Blue and Change The Beat to Sub Rosa with the help of Sara Sukkha & Chané.
