where mah sistahs at?

[The Overfiend]

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.

I agree with Mirscha on this completely, and I dont support interview statements of some male djs that 99% girls just play on their looks, its just not fair.

misstress barbara is the best techno DJ! And i dont mean "best female techno DJ". Im talking about DJing in general!

fine girls + hard techno dj skills = SHWING :love:

that was most definitely NOT whst i was hoping to hear.

what about girls with hard techno skills that don't fit the predetermined idea of "fine"? ;)

[djshiva]

I'm here :)

And I LOVE techno :love:

I think the reason people automatically assume you (or any other chick) are a guy is because it is tru that there are definitely a lot more men that listen to and play techno....do you know how many parties I've been at where there were like maybe 1 or 2 other girls there? And their boyfriends were the ones djing at the party? I also think like every other female dj I know either spins trance or house.....maybe because it's more girlie? I dont know....**** that....give me some REAL beats that I can play and shake my ass too ;)

didn't you used to be on sister djs? i think i remember you from there, perhaps?

When I say brotherhood, I mean it as a Brotherhood of man, as in species.

As for where are the ladies at?

Techno is a men only club

Ask Sven vath

Most of the techno parties around here are 80 - 90% men only.

Most of the women are groupies and would probably not be there otherwise.

Why?

[Craig McW]

Most techno dudes are geeks. That's why.

If they looked you and me Greg, different story. Chicks all over da shop....






I joke.

No matter what you do, men will still be men....they see a hot chick and cant stop drooling. I think women can be the same way too though....I mean, if you see a hot guy, you cannot tell me that you dont think to yourself 'Yea...he's hot'. Basic human instinct...

For me personally, I dont give a shit what you look like....as long as you can bang it, it's all good to me....

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.....

c´mon ladies, men are dawgs and you kno it, at the bery least, there are those of us who admit it.

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 :)

[dirty_bass]

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.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

what you just said reminds me of shiva who started this thread. not only is she a BAD ASS dj, her production is top notch and she will be exploding on to the techno scene this year guaranteed! she is one of the most dedicated people i know (man or woman) to the cause and she deserves every bit of success she'll get this year

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

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 :)

well, i can for sure tell you i wouldn't think the guy's hot. ;) it's that damn gay gene or somethin'. ;p but yeah, i do understand basic human hormonal reactions. not dissin' people for bein' humans...

we (SUBterror) actually did a coupla parties where we obscured the view of the djs in some fashion, either with camo netting or backlit gauze scrim. it was really cool to see the quizzical looks on people's faces, and then the subsequent disinterest in watching and more interest in listening and moving. it really took the spectator element outta the whole thing. pretty neat...

[djshiva]

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.
