i know she has been mentioned earlier, but only in passing. after her mo'wax trip hop album, andrea parker then went totally into the bass music scene.set up the label touchin' bass, and released some insanely fantastic stuff.the 3 'nobodys perfect' mixtapes that she released via TB are worthy.and for her own productions, she released a rather wonderful compilation, 'heres one i made earlier' that compiled stuff she made with david morley.summary : tis all rather wonderful.

nidia's a producer, run don't walk
― Uhura Mazda (lukas), Friday, 1 September 2017 19:57 (six years ago) link
yeah andrea is a real trailblazer, i loved her mo'wax stuff (especially ballbreaker / some other level)
i kind of checked out after awhile because i was tired of classicist electro bass, but i remember "freaky bitches" w/ dj assault was pretty sweet
is she still active?
― the late great, Friday, 1 September 2017 20:00 (six years ago) link
as long as we're talking about trailblazers, i first heard "freaky bitches" on WEISS.MIX by ellen allien
what a classic
― the late great, Friday, 1 September 2017 20:01 (six years ago) link
andrea parker still incredibly fresh sounding almost 25 years later

she pops up on the radar from time to time, but she is not that active.she once went up a mountain for 6 months i.e. the label/music is not the top groove for her these days.and yes, the david morley collabs are fantastic.

"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:https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0015v5h
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.
