I believe that on one end it is right that some female dj's may branch off and start their own agencies for djing and what not. YET, I respect it even more when the female makes no big deal of her own gender and earns her respect like anyone of us. In fact tries to outdo the competition.
Barbara can blow most dj's out the box. Name or no name.
true dat. she was 2 times in Croatia and she's coming again, I think last weekend in March. thats a must see.Quote:

misstress barbara is the best techno DJ! And i dont mean "best female techno DJ". Im talking about DJing in general!
that was most definitely NOT whst i was hoping to hear.Quote:

Why?
Most techno dudes are geeks. That's why.

Maybe they should hang a curtain up around the dj booth at parties so you CANT see who is djing-that would be interesting.....then you couldnt tell if it was a man or woman playing and only be able to truly judge based on what you hear and not see, rather than the other way around ;)
I never really was on sister djs.....maybe you saw me on Shejay.net? Either there or from the Female Pressure board......I think I've seen you on Shejay though.....Quote:

i m a gud typr to :roll:
chrissi is one of the only girls i know so involved in this techno music making game (just so happens to be the missus too ;) ) and she never fails to surprise me when we're in the studio. whereas alot of blokes i've been making music with all think very similar about sounds and what's good and what's bad, i find that chrissi brings something to the table that blokes just don't bring. i mean, we've been into totally the same music for as long as we've been seeing each other (13 years), but there's those things that chrissi thinks about that you just know are a 'womens brain at work' ;)
it just really makes me think as to what techno music would be like, in fact music in general, if alot more producers were girls. you know, talking about all this, i'm well intrigued. it's so true, music would be well differet. i'm definitely gonna go out of my way to check more women dj's out in the future :)
There`s always been a lot of girls playing on the free party scene in london.
Wherear blokes tend to play the more obvious jump up and down, or pump your fists stuff.
The girls tend to play music that comes from the hip and the booty, and you can really dance properly to it.
As I whole I`ve preferred the girlie DJ`s to blokes, on the squat scene. The seem to have better flow overall as well.

there's no room for machismo in this game because it's the greatest music on earth and if a woman is good at it then there shouldn't be anything or anyone stopping that. the more supporters of techno there are the better you know!
if you wanna have an attitude, hang with the dnb/jungle blokes :rambo:
If you are really intrigued, you should definitely check out the female pressure site....it's run by Electric Indigo and there are tons of women that contribute to the forums ;) I wouldnt be surprised if your misses already is part of the Female Pressure community :)Quote:

i thought i would throw this on this topic, since it works as good as any.
ya know, guys are always wondering why there aren't more women in the techno scene. and i am always wondering why they just don't get it.
i go to the board members' photo thread, only to find someone had posted a pic of some naked chick with headphones and turntables, touching NOT THE TURNTABLES, but her crotch!
now guys, ask yourselves...why WOULD women want to be around when we get this kinda shite in our faces all the time? it's annoying, yet even worse, it's insulting to those of us who have made our way into the techno world because of our TALENT and not our tits.
what do you want? sluts who rub themselves instead of vinyl? or women who rock decks? usually can't have it both ways, so figger it out.
and anyone who wants to regard this post as negative, needs to check themselves and realize that sexist BS like that post in the photo thread is what is TRULY negative.
time to stop talking about music evolving. that means NOTHING if we as humans are incapable of evolution.
sorry bout the rantiness...just really really really really sick of dealing with the same shite no matter where i go.
Stuff like this is just lauding a bit of attention on the female DJs that there are, I know a few folk who have made some comments about wanting to sex up Gayle San or Mistress Barbara but I also know a few women who've dribbled over folk like Si Begg and Regis in pretty much the same way.
I know I am an evil person, because when I saw that picture I couldn't help myself, I just had to have a right good stare to see what decks and mixer she was posing in front of and looking for good old gaffs like none of the cables being plugged in.
