Change The Beat Remix Releases
Since our inception, Change the Beat has helped sign over 80 female, trans and non-binary artists and producers to major A-list dance record labels through our renowned remix contests.
We’ve compiled many of these releases into one immaculate Spotify playlist for your listening pleasure. Ranging from techno, melodic and tech-house, to house, we’re so thrilled to present our Change the Beat Remixes in one place.
We hope this list will keep growing through the years, as we continue on our mission to amplify the voices of female and gender-expansive artists in the electronic music industry, by partnering with top dance music labels to increase the percentage of female and gender non-conforming artists represented on their rosters.
We hope you enjoy this sonic journey!
