Women in electronic/dance music

Siegbran or Steve have you ever seen Phil Reyonds play a set? What do you think of him?

vicky from people like us

and.... the godmother of the whole shebang - bebe barron!

indeed! plus claire is completely gorgeous too, which doesn't change my enjoyment of the music, but i just thought i'd mention.

kelli (i spelled it wrong before) hand is a detroit techno producer, records as k. hand, you might know "ready for the darkness" or "global warning", runs acacia records.

>Squarepusher doing practically EVERYTHING himself for >example, and i think it would be a really cool thing to see >someone that just so happens to be a woman working along >the same lines, making similar music

of course there are many women who do this. OF COURSE.

I do, Kevin Blechdom does, Peope Like Us does, there's plenty.

and of course when and if the world becomes a more enlightened place, there will be more women who do so. dude.

no one's opinion means anything!!!

Blevin Blectum

Um?

I highly recommend many of the names already mentioned too.

and yes i second Oliveros, K Hand, and both Blechdom and Blectum...did anyone mention Andrea Parker?

Blevin actually posted! I know nothing about her really, but that was funny.

New name: Migu (Yuko Araki, Cornelius' tour drummer)

What about Yoshimi P-We?

Mrs Wood (Jane Rolink)
DJ Rap (Charissa Saverio)
Sandra Collins

but I'm pretty sure whoever mentioned Meat Katie above was wrong about Mark Pember being a female, unless his run of successful tracks has finally afforded him with the cash flow to get that operation after all

Jessica Rylan builds the synthesizers and FX units she uses to make her horrible noises. wouldn't call her a "producer," but she's one of a kind.

Squab Teen's Dance America is like a goofier Squarepusher with a penchant for Technique-era Casio presets and a dose of Blevin & Kevin. so much better than that sounds or has any right to be. can provide via slsk if you're having trouble.

(both great German (micro)house producers)

if that fucking dickhead isn't perma-banned very fast I'm going to be having words

"Barging into this thread only to say that I wish both Solex and Mira Calix would release more albums (yes I know they're still working, but still)"

Alas Mira Calix passed away in March. I remember liking Skimskitta but I always wondered if she was a pseudonym for someone else on Warp. It turns out that she helped keep the label running in the background, which is why she had such a spartan discography. I was going to say "she was the only woman on the Artificial Intelligence compilations" but she wasn't actually on the Artificial Intelligence compilations. She was on Blech II.

Radio 3 did a tribute, now sadly unavailable:

Just for fun I remember going through the roster of Mille Plateaux Records and City Centre Offices and and Fax Records and counting all of the female musicians and "not British, German, or Japanese" musicians, and giving up because there weren't any. Which is probably true of any cross-section of heavy metal labels, but this music was supposed to be progressive.

It struck me as a kid that literally all of the acts on the European Warp equivalents* etc were male twentysomething graphic design students who spent their lives flying between Tokyo, Berlin, and London, which I suppose was a kind of wish-fulfillment fantasy if you were a teenager back then but ye gods a lot of that music is generic and indistinguishable from itself nowadays.

* Warp itself has working-class people, so it doesn't quite count.

Sky Arts showed Sisters With Transistors on friday which was a good watch, all the early female pioneers in original footage. (everything else they showed is being repeated throughout the week but i can't see a repeat for this before friday)

couple of new names to me: clara rockmore and maryanne amacher, the latter of who wins for noticeably scaring thurston moore.

(although both are mentioned upthead)

I’m sure I used to “play out” Amacher’s ear dances at our old Greenwich gatherings, koogs. Good way to clear the room at the end of the evening.

oh and there is a new Karen Gwyer! It’s under Karen Lee Gwyer on Bandcamp. Solid albeit nothing startling.

I feckin' missed most of it because I was watching Match of the Day!

had a look in programme guide and listings for a repeat of the Sisters with Transistors and can't see one 8(

if you can remember the old Greenwich gatherings you weren't really there. or you left early to get back to the other side of london before the rave music started.

This is the only way I can find to watch the Cosey Fanni Tutti Delia Derbyshire movie since it left the BBC site

FWIW, there's a 1080p encoding easily found on the dark net.

Sisters with Transistors is repeated tonight on sky arts, Freeview ch11, 00:40

should be earlier imo but they are busy with Floyd, byrds, Stevie Nick's and numnah from 18:00
