This article gives anthropological insight into how gender/ing practices mattered in P3´s organization of music production in the mid 2010s. Through field reports and interviews with actors in the field the article reports from a P3 production environment where gender/ing stereotypical cultural (music) models and everyday enacted sexism weaved in and out of unfortunate gendered alliances between the listeners, the hosts and a ‘blind’ management, and could be seen, at its best, to be sustaining status-quo when it came to gender representation in music (and inequality), and, at its worst, to be strengthening gendered un-equality. While trying to pin out some attention points to be aware of in everyday sexism in environments of music production, the article explores the potentials of combining an Anthropology of Learning with an Ethnomusicology of Affect in order to investigate processes of what anthropologist Cathrine Hasse calls for the ‘centrifugal and centripetal forces’ of ‘cultural models’ in work environments, which means, in this particular case, the inclusion and exclusion of gendered artefacts, bodies and things in the spaces of P3´s music production.
