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) ;)
