FLINTA Behind the Decks: Empowerment Through Music In this episode of RADIO ELECTRONICA, we shine a light on the FLINTA* DJ - Workshop at Casablanca Jena, a community-driven project that empowers female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender individuals to take their place behind the decks. The show features candid conversations with participants, tutors, and mentors from the workshop. Together, they discuss what it means to step into the electronic music scene as a newcomer, to learn technical skills, and to build confidence in a supportive environment. The FLINTA* DJ - Workshop is more than a crash course in beatmatching and mixing. It’s a space for empowerment, self-expression, and visibility in a field still dominated by men. The mentors talk about the importance of teaching both technical skills and creative self-management — from crafting a DJ name to understanding social media, negotiating fair fees, and reading a crowd. Listeners will hear stories of personal growth, passion, and community spirit — from first workshops to full club sets, from hesitant beginners to confident performers. The episode captures the authentic energy of Jena’s electronic scene and celebrates how music can bridge barriers and open doors for underrepresented voices. “It’s not just about the technique,” says one mentor. “It’s about learning the skill — but also finding your name, your sound, and your voice.” The episode concludes with live DJ sets from participants, showcasing the creative results of this ongoing initiative. Upcoming workshop dates are announced for October 1, October 15, and November 12, inviting new participants to join the movement and keep the beat alive. https://soundcloud.com/rosa_schwarz https://soundcloud.com/migrakid https://soundcloud.com/user-107212135 https://soundcloud.com/m_one_music
