Women in electronic/dance music

avalon emerson YES

i think i need to check out k gwyer

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

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?

as long as we're talking about trailblazers, i first heard "freaky bitches" on WEISS.MIX by ellen allien

what a classic

andrea parker still incredibly fresh sounding almost 25 years later

weiss.mix remains a total jam. i should beef up my collection of her work, i see all of her CDs at Amoeba on the cheap now.

huh

i literally know none of those producers

andrea parker's dj kicks is also a total jam

Inga Copeland

Nidia Minaj is great, Principe Discos crew

xp

is she still active?

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.

Let me do that again with tracks:

New BBC Culture article on women composers: Oksana Linde and the forgotten pioneers of electronic music

waiting for another Karen Gwyer, hoped this thread bump would be that!

also my god that aya record im hole is outstanding

[MOD NOTE: TRANSPHOBIC BULLSHIT REDACTED]

what the fuck are you talking about, get the fuck out of here.

Uh. Yeah can we not be transphobic please.

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
