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.
There's a thought now, dogs howling on the dancefloor because they were enjoying the music, that'd be cool

I don't have a huge concern about many girls' lack of interest in techno or the boys club stigma attached to techno ... however (and as I'm sure Mark is trying to point out) it would be nice if we could get more girls to techno nights. It works two fold as well, more girls = more blokes = more people in general.

A lot of the thing with girls too is that they like to move and be seen to be making their moves on the dancefloor. If you're banging the hole out of it at 145 bpm from early in the night then you're giving girls or people in general, little chance to get into it properly or move comfortably on the floor. A lot of the responsibility lies with DJs and the way they play their sets, not necessarily the music that's being made.
