PEOPLE
Dignity, consent, autonomy and participation come before any artistic outcome.
About
BUILT FROM INSIDE
THE SCENE. FOR PEOPLE.
Frequency Forge is an association with women at the centre: women survivors, women in recovery and women in electronic music. We use DJing, music production and electronic music culture to build skills, expression, autonomy, protection and community.
What we are
ELECTRONIC MUSIC WITH A HUMAN PURPOSE.
We are not only a school, promoter or support organisation. We connect culture, learning, community and protection through a women-centred mission. Allies and wider community participation can be included where they strengthen that mission, without asking any participant to disclose personal experiences to justify being there.
MUSIC
DJing and production are practical tools to create, learn, express and connect.
SCENE
We want electronic music culture with stronger practices, more opportunity and safer spaces.
Our story
FROM THE BOOTH. FROM THE STUDIO. FROM THE COMMUNITY.
Frequency Forge was built by people who know electronic music from the inside: booths, studios, events, PR, hospitality, production and community. We saw the scene’s potential to generate learning, connection and opportunity, and we also saw its barriers. We created an association designed to work on both realities.
Why electronic music
MUSIC IS THE MEDIUM. HUMAN POSSIBILITY IS THE POINT.
We do not present music as a cure or clinical treatment. We use it as an environment for practice: finishing a mix, learning software, stepping into a booth, collaborating with someone, taking on a challenge or belonging to a community can open pathways to learning, confidence and autonomy.
FRONTIER
Our base
FRONTIER. MANRESA.
Our local base is Frontier at Pompeu Fabra 13, Manresa. It is a newly started creative space where we aim to combine studio access, practice, workshops, community and electronic music culture. We are at the beginning: we do not invent impact figures. We prefer to demonstrate what we build through real activity, people and outcomes.

How we work
PRINCIPLES BEFORE PROMISES.
INCLUSION
The mission centres women; participation criteria for each activity are published in advance and applied consistently, respectfully and accessibly.
SAFETY
Consent, boundaries, privacy and routes to raise concerns are core infrastructure.
AUTONOMY
We want people to gain tools and greater capacity to make decisions.
PRACTICE
Learning by doing with equipment, challenges and concrete outcomes.
COMMUNITY
Building relationships and opportunity without turning personal experience into a public label.
Structure
ONE ASSOCIATION. ONE CULTURAL BRAND. ONE MISSION.
Frequency Forge is the public brand. Asociación Frequency Forge is the intended legal-entity name and is in the process of constitution. Frontier is the physical space in Manresa. Anubix, Trocadero and Red Code Techno are external projects linked to board members and remain separate from the association project.
