Who gets to play the electronic musik? : A gender equal perspective on Lost Beach club stage in Ecuador.

Abstract: The purpose with this thesis was to, through a gender perspective, get an insight in equality between genders at the electronic music stage is in Ecuador, with the renowed club Lost Beach Club as a sample for this study. The thesis is based on an observation study made in November 2016 at three different events, marketing materials and correspondence with a producer. The result was adopted through some different approaches of feministic theory and showed that on the electronic music stage at Lost Beach Club gender equality was not presented, and no consciousness about the subject existed. Men was more represented than women but they all got the same response and respect from the audience. The women was excluded unconsciously since they did not have the same opportunities to reach the big stages as men because of the masculine norms in the field.
