Feminine Pressure: Bye-Bye Boys’ Club Part 2

news | Jan 27th, 2011 | View Comments

Last week, we launched a multi-part feature on women in electronic dance music. With a host of new talents on the rise, from house and techno to dubstep and beyond, we thought it was time to salute the women making dance clubs more equal—not to mention more fun—for everyone.

With help from the women behind We Make the Tea and the <a href="http://www.letsmix.com/nextgirlDJ” rel=”external”>Next Girl DJ competition’s Ashley Douglas, we asked a number of women in the scene, both old hands and up-and-comers, to share their thoughts on gender and dance music.

The questions must have struck a nerve, because we got back more responses than we could print in a single sitting. Read on to see what Dinky, Maayan Nidam (aka Miss Fitz), Bloody Mary, Camea, Subeena and Dasha Rush have to say about gender roles, creative vision, and the music industry. And stay tuned for insights from Chloe, Cio D’or, and more.
