AlphaTheta EMEA Corporation has today announced that its Pioneer DJ brand is joining forces with women-led progressive radio station foundation.fm in a special partnership that will begin with celebrations for International Women’s Day (8th March 2021).

Working together on a series of unique events, broadcasts, and competitions throughout March, Pioneer DJ and foundation.fm will honour the talented women in the music industry who constantly push against gender bias and boundaries and prove that equality should be commonplace. This new partnership aims to help erase the limits placed on women and non-binary community within the music industry and shine a light on their skills, which defy perceived limitations.


London-based foundation.fm paves the way for people to create positive change and level the playing field when it comes to gender equality within the world of music. Broadcasting online, the station has a worldwide reach – making it the perfect platform to spread the message about International Women’s Day, a global day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women while calling for gender parity.

Round table discussions

Respected DJ and foundation.fm resident Heléna Star will host round table discussions on how the station’s DJs have overcome the boundaries they’ve encountered since starting their careers, right up to the present, and throughout lockdown. She’ll be joined by prominent women from the music industry including Control Shft, Tempo, Freshta, and Vanessa Maria.
Tune in on the 9th March from 14:00 to 15:00 GMT, and on the 24th March from 14:00 to 15:00 GMT.
