Girls

[MARKEG]

I've just made a post in another topic and suddenly thought that.. is perhaps one of the biggest topics that noone has made yet here????????????????

Ahhh I'm stupid but.. Look we're all here discussing the music, in some type of boyish trainspotty way, but do we realise that girls are the probably the single most important factor in techno clubs/music whatever. And do we realise that soul, funk and feeling in music is what most girls love in music?

I thiink so anyway.

We need to get more girls on the dancefloor. When we're all sat with our Reason 3's and Ableton 5's, we need to be thinking about this. Seriously.

Think about it.

[loopdon]

absolutely true.

[eyes without a face]

maybe not as important as whats coming thru the speakers but definately an integrale part of club life haha

[koma]

like Hova said:i like girls girls girls, girls I do adore :lol:

nothing beats the crowd full of nice & happy girls.. here we how lots of them really into music, some of them are making their party wear by themself, almost every time different stuff.. really unique

more girls on the floor, definitely.. even if the music isnt so good to me, it wont spoil my mood if theres lots of smiling girls around me ;)

and hey, not all of them are into funk..lately i've been meeting just the ones that want as hard as it can get..techno, hardcore.. :lol:

Yep, that`s why I make girlie techno.
Big Basslines (women respond to bass more) and shimmering rising sounds.
Get the girls on the dance floor and the boys will follow.
And besides, we need someone to disperse some of this testosterone.
I`d not forgotten about it, I just didn`t talk about it cos most of the snobs beat down on me when I do.

am i a girl then, as i like a bit of the old funk

[slavestudios]

techno = toys 4 boys



i never really thought about it. obviously, i'd like to see more chix dj'in/laptop'in techno, but ive always been like that. even before i started to spin..

i know house djs who play to the chix, so when they get on the floor, the blokes follow.. which i think is sick.. i call it 'the pussy play' and i think its a horrible way to structure a set. but house djs who do that tend to like the nose candy :roll: so you kinda expect it.

ive always wanted to co-produce with a chick as well, but its never happened.

i dunno, ive only ever done shit for me musically. never differentiated between bloke & chix & straights & gays... they all jus bodies on a dancefloor & i was usually too busy wrapped up with vinyl & fx to notice what variety those bodies are lol

aye definetely needin more girls in techno.....its a fun sight to see some lass goin mental to some filthy beats.

there was a good number of females at the last locked in manchester which was really good to see! all into the music and giving it some!

still a lot of them need converting from the funky house,hard house nights to techno tho.....sometimes i dont think its the actual music that puts them off,just finding the music accessible enough for them!

yeah right, like techno djs arent into chicks and nose politics LOL

[miasma man]

I think this is an important point - I have people tell me that they think Techno is macho!? Maybe a bit like going down the gym and lifting heavy weights and grunting a lot!

The girls don't wanna know - they want something they can relate to and makes them feel comfortable?

This needs to be sorted out!

Dunno, is some of this about education cos not all Techno is hard banging stuff, maybe the other forms of Techno need to be promoted more..?

personally, i like to keep the music & the 'recreation' seperate. i'll have a smoke in the studio and maybe a beer or two, but i never dj'd jus to do drugs & meet women.. you can do that much more effectively by NOT being a dj lol

[slavestudios]

at the same time, manys a night ive seen chix going mental to Wittekind & Amok tracks..


and chix fuxkin love Aural Exciter by Humphries & Wilson... 'This IS Mistress Diana...' then they go ****in mental



Gayle San used to be my #1 crush too plays so hard & looks so hot

[morphamish]

Women need more techno just as much as techno needs more women! An encouraguing trend (at least around where I'm from) is that there are more and more women into mentalist stuff as well as what has been traditionally considered 'fordalaydees' stuff. Its true that some music can be predicted to appeal more to certain genders, but its less and less polarised these days IMO. Most of my female friends need the edgy stuff to get them dancing just as much as my male mates (gotta love lush tunes when the situation requires it too mind).

Unfortunately there's the perenial problem that women have to work a lot harder to get taken seriously as djs/producers (re looks judging before hearing etc), there's a whole lotta testosterone going on. Its still largely dominated by men. But still (around here anyway) there seems to be more and more women letting rip through soundsystems as well as in front of them. This can only be a good thing, the more perspectives and diversity the better I reckon. :clap: ( :love: )

(ps I love the look of total shock when a munter clocks its my mate Shona or Ally firing out some Drop Bass Network or Hellfish or beasting dnb or sommat then gets back into grooving away. Quality.... thought you were such a sweet grrrl) ;)

Big Basslines (women respond to bass more) and shimmering rising sounds.
Get the girls on the dance floor and the boys will follow.

Was speaking to a friend about this the other week about this, and we did a search on it but found no definite figure, only various people's theories on the matter... Apparantly the frequency range which creates most clitoril excitement is 30- 40 HZ.

Anyone know any more about this?

back in the day in detroit i knew TONS of girls into techno. now, only a couple. what's the difference? i don't know exactly, but i do remember girls really digging electro and especially the raunchy sh*t like aaron carl and godfather...also djs like derrick may and kevin saunderson that mix techno with house...

mark said "funky" but maybe an alternative adjective is "sexy." that missy elliot song sampling clear just reaffirms that the old school sh*t was sexy as hell.

most def. Bob Brown from Framworkmusic took this mission to the floor.

Notice the FW stickers not just the asses.




techno if not funky and tongue-in-cheek is nothing!

:roll:

Why would you want to make 'girly techno' ?
What the hell is ' techno for women'?!!!!

I would never think, oo i should try and make a really rough and dark sounding track just so more guys would go 'hell yeh', id make the track because that what flows!!

I wouldnt even make an issue out of the fact more guys may dance to a track id have made...

'I think this is an important point - I have people tell me that they think Techno is macho!? Maybe a bit like going down the gym and lifting heavy weights and grunting a lot!

This needs to be sorted out!'

errrr ...

This feels so patronising!!!! I went to the Version weekender and there were women dancing to the most obscurest music as was myself.

I can see there are less women on the dancefloors unless your playing funky house, but does that matter, if you have people (men , dogs whatever) dancing to your music surely that is rewarding??
If you feel making more 'bassline' orientated tracks will boost female statistics in techno clubs then cool, and if you feel thats important (??) then cool... but personally id be happy with bodies, or just the feeling that ive made something i am proud of.

:clap: your cool as **** you are miss bass.

IMO it dosnt matter your gender its about whats going on in your head(or heart)that matters.
I know testosterone monsters who cant stand raw sounds and the girlyest girls that get off on anal wierdness.....its about who you are as a person.
