Saffron is an organisation challenging the current climate of the music technology industry. Comprising an artist development platform, record label and extensive teaching series, Saffron's aim is to support, champion and inspire Womxn in music and music technology. SAFFRON FOR SOUND A series of six week Music Tech courses in Music Production (Ableton Live and Logic) and Sound Engineering for womxn. The aim is to teach, empower and create visibility for women in male dominant spaces. MIX NIGHTS Established in 2016 by Saffron, Bristol Women in Music (now defunct) and DJ Shanti Celeste, Mix Nights was created for Womxn to develop DJ skills in an encouraging, safe and welcoming environment. Each nine week Mix Nights course culminates with a showcase event at a local venue, where the DJ students are given the opportunity to play their first DJ set in public. ARTIST DEVELOPMENT Supported by the PRSF Talent Development Partner Network and Red Bull Music, we work with three emerging Womxn artists each year. We provide them with industry mentoring, talent development, focus groups, access to our music tech education programs as well as the opportunity to record and release their music through our own independent label. 101 SESSIONS A series of music tech masterclasses and 101 sessions, sharing advice from industry leaders for our advanced learner community. SAFFRON RECORDS Our in house independent record label showcases the music created from our artist development programme, alongside other Womxn acts from around the globe. TECH DISSECT Tech Dissect is a gathering for Womxn in Music Tech, taking place at Spitfire Audio in London on Saturday 9 November 2019. The first event of its kind, Saffron aims to cultivate a space that inspires creativity and connection by bringing together Womxn of all ages and experiences.
