One day in the real world, and I wake up at 4 am to find this thread!!!
Xcuse me Joe, I take offense to your comments. Not only do i work for
a label that has an amazing electronic female artist - Riz Maslen
(Neotropic) when I ran my Save The Vinyl imprint in the mid-90's I
tried to sign her, I also signed another artist, currently working in
LA, called The Angel whose done production work with Smith & Mighty
and has her own Channel 60 (i think?) projects.
I also know Mira Calix from when she worked @ Ambient Soho on Berwick
St London when I was running Save The Vinyl on the same road. As
well as Nina Walsh, who humorously created Sabrettes and even got the
Scottish Tartans to acknowledge her Tartan colours officially.
Andrea Parker used to sit at the door of Sabresonic every Friday
night with Nina and these two powerhouses created some diverse
incredible IDM Music. In fact, I have tried to turn many people on
to the emotional power of Andrea Parkers work on Mo Wax. It is
nothing less than stunning.
I have always been a fan of IDM music - the more out there or obtuse
(and I am talking about a twenty year plus love affair with sounds
from Eno to Ryuichi Sakamoto back to Jon Hassell and Aphex Twin) -
the more abstrakts the more I like it. It was I who dragged a
kicking journalist from Muzik Magazine to see Laurie Anderson show in
London a few years back (I've seen her live performances going back
to the early 80's)- He had to apologize for being so clueless and
being so incredibly impressed with her talents. Several years ago I
had the privilege of working on a compilation put together by Scanner
for his Electronic Lounge that I off regularly attended, and Sprawl
is part run by Iris who under various alias does her own photography,
djing and music making.
And then there's Irene on this list who dj's in South Africa while
juggling a family of a couple of kids....
My last boyfriend turned me onto to Northern Soul and American Jazz -
altho he was from the North of England, he knew more about the
history of Black Music in America than most Americans know. He shamed
me when I thought a Maceo Parker sax solo was a guitar break in a
review of a record I once wrote. I turned him onto Derrick May's
Strings of Life when it came out in 1988- he was instantly converted
to house. I told Gilles Peterson in 91 that techno was jazz, listen
to the drum beats. Gilles later told me I was too clever. Please do
not insult the intelligence of women on this list, or did you just
make this post just to get everyones reaction?
Duh, ha ha -- i took the bait. (dont get me wrong, i am no flaming feminist)
PS We've already had the thread about who is the best looking female
eletronic artist.....We also had the one about which idm artist is
gay...does any of this matter if the music is what we're all here
for????
