Does anyone agree that there are far too few female DJs n artists producing Hardcore out there?!! The only female DJ Ive heard of is Chris E Manic who's wicked!!
Also is there any female members of this site out there?!!

Yes it's true that there are not too many female artists. The shitty part about it is that female DJ's do not get the same revenue as male DJ's. Try to book Storm or Goldie, Storm will be less just because that is how the market runs at the moment. Perhaps if there were more female DJ's, this would not occur. But that's just the way it is right now.
Me personally, I love music and want to persue my life within the scene. But I want to manage music more than make it.

could always do what Paulina Taylor did and have a female name to get booked

i could be the next lady dana... *sigh* maybe someday.. i do like it hard, rough n fast though... my MUSIC!!!! ;) im just gettnig started, but ive got 2 upcoming bookings out of state in the next few weeks... so hopefully things will start going my way...
i li ve in arizona (no hardcore scene whatsoever) but i will not spin here.. being a female dj isnt the easiest thing in the world... my first "booking" i got my name on the flyer, was pumped and ready to go, but was told just days before the party that i would not be recieving a timeslot unles i had sex with him... i got that from about 3 promoters out here until i decided to spin out of state exclusively.. so hopefully these two upcoming gigs will help me out, on in so cal and one out east.. wheres everyoen from???
kande is much too.. plurry *gasp* of a name for a gabber dj... but im kinda a dork and couldnt think of anything better, and its been my screenname for years... but hell.. what can i say.. not too many grrrlz spin gabber... definatly feelin mah hardcore grrrlz out there! much luv n nuff respectz~

...i'm a chick..and i'm a DJ.. been spinning Happycore for 2 and 1/2 years now as of last week, but played Hard House before that..started out as just something fun to do, then decided to start spinning out about a year ago...
I don't get many bookings (except for a fairly big event that myself and my friend mike is throwing for my 21st birthday and his 23rd coming up in July..heh) because hardcore isn't too big in St. Louis right now, and i'm extremely busy running my production company (I-Jam Productions *gotta love self promotion!*) throwing events, managing DJs..etc...but I have played at a few undergrounds, commercial raves, house parties, and a weekly event I used to run...so I have some expierence....but I'll spin anywhere anytime just because I love it. :)
In a few weeks i'll have a mix online for download..just incase anyone cares

in any sort of electronic music, men are in the majority as far as djing/producing. i think there are too many women that just settle for being dj hoes =P
arizona used to have a really good hardcore scene, but from what i've heard it's all pretty much gone =/

AZ used to have one hell of a scene... theres still a couple djs around here, but no ones pushing anything out... im trying to get outta the state though, like i said, one booking coming up in so cal, and one up in the north east... but we had an amazing scene here.. could rival with the best... but it just fell apart....
i agree with you abuot the women settling to be DJ hoes.. *sigh* i was a 16 year old raver once too, but now i want to be behind the decks... ill have a mix up too in the next couple weeks.. seems im a bit of a dorktard abut computers and stuff, because i cant seem to make a goddamned cd for the life of me.. but hopefully soon...
and tehre aer some women gabber djs, were just very few and far between... same for every genre i suppose though... but im definatly proud to be a female dj...

even rarer are hardcore djs that aren't lesbians 
i think part of arizona and most places problems are shady and just all around crappy production companies

I dont think that's the case at all.. I think female dj's get more credit then their male counterpart actually..
But the fact is, is that 99% of dj's are male.. It would only benefit to scene to have more females spinning

9 times out of 10 i get booked because i have tits... and each of those times i am told that i will not recieve a timeslot unless i **** the promoter.
and we wonder why there arent more female DJs... I quit for a long time because of that. Girls get treated like shit, instead of being respected for being empowered and talented, we get told to suck someones dick for a timeslot...
the political ******** is crap... im not trying to whine and say "its not fair" but i think that we should at least be respected for our talent instead of our tits.

thats pretty ****ed up.
im as good as any guy spinnin hardcore right now, if not better.... but im not gettnig booked beacuse i wont **** promoters to get a timeslot...
how many men have that problem?
all girl parties are always successful, its not completely absurd to have a good female DJ, i just think men are intimidated by strong talented women...
i think youre right mrs matavali

that's a shitty situation..luckily here, that's not the case at all. myself, and other female DJs get respect where respect is due...the majority of promoters are very fair in their ways of booking, booking on talent and not on piece of ass...
if you have a demo, and you're as good as you say you are and if you're interested in playing in St. Louis, let me know..I might book you sometime, or atleast talk to other promoters around me to see if they'd book you :)

well what can i say it's attitudes like daveo's that makes it unfair. At the moment im producing(trying anyway) and it's like whats the sense in making a Cd and sending it off like anyone will listen to it, they would see that im a female and chuck it. I might sound like im being bias but thats how it comes across. As soon as i can i will send a CD or somit and let you all judge.

I would turn up though! But alot of people go to see BIG starts like, DJ SY & Scott Brown. Im just saying it as it is. Im all for female DJ's myself.

I have 6 to 7 gigs of happy hardcore/oldschool hardcore on my hard drive at home, I'm a happyhardcore mc (who has yet to get on tha stage =/..) who knows all six to seven gigs of tracks word for word beat for beat sample for sample... lol... Oh yeah, I'll probably start spinning the hhC soon, if my budget allows it. =)
I've also started work on a happycore track or two, collaborations with a friend and whatnot... Pretty interested with the world of music.
Oh, hey, look.. and I'm a chick too!! Trés étrange, non?
I guess this applies to a lot of things in today's society, but I see a lot of females being intimidated by the lack of, well, female participation in certain industries. They prefer to take the attitude that if something is/has been dominated by males in the past, that it will, and should always be. (Well, if you don't get the ball rollin', change will never happen!)
I think that what the wimmen' artists need is to suck it up, and get out there.
..Hardcore ain't just a guys sport, yah know.
(Btw.. what ch'all think of a female, non english accented happy hardcore mc... yes, no? maybe so?)
peace :) |

I disagree- The women who are out there poundin out the 'core, are the ones who are strong enough to overcome alll of the obstacles that stand in the way from being a female dj. I dont see that as the way women DJs think at all- we know going into it that there arent all that many... From my experience at least, its not ,e being scared to play, or to be one of the FEW women hardcore DJs (and yes i mean hardcore, i spin WAY more gabbr than hhc) *BUT* that the problem lies in the people who are interested in booking me. Tits seem to come before talent, at least from my experience, though id like to hear from another girl whose had a different experience...

i think the females are mostly less into music buying / producing / mixing
but when more girls are doing that more female djs will be booked
and some djs say girls have less talent / skills is ********.

Personally i'd love to c more female hardcore dj's, Scott Brown and Sy and evry1 are wicked but they don't really float my boat if ya know what i mean. Now get a few good looking women djing and u have corking music and some eye candy aswell!!!
Sorry for the totally sexist attitude there! 1000's of years of evolution was lost on me:S
Seriously tho i think female hardcore dj's deserve serious credit for getting into the scene esp the gabber dj's ( cus u only ever see about 4 women in the techno room even if it's rammed :( ). It seems harder for a female dj over here than in the states by the sound of it for sum reason:(
So im teaching me lil sista to dj so by the time she's sixteen she'll be ripping it up at the sanctuary:D
In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that seperates us. |

Hey I just thought I would chime in on this topic....lately a lot more female djs have been popping up, especially in the hardcore scene in the US. I actually threw a party that was all female hardcore djs, only 1 room though, 7 djs.
I am pretty lucky, living in the SF bay area female djs are very accepted, and the numbers keep growing. It sucks that some of you seem to be getting booked only because you are a girl or that promoters are expecting you to sleep your way to the top. Be strong ad just keep popping out the mixes. No matter what, talent will get you far in the end.
If you guys get a chance to check out any female hardcore djs these are the ones I have been impressed with time and time again: DJ Cynikal (Los Angeles, Ca) she spins happy gabber and happy hardcore, and hardcore. She blows any male dj I have seen away, there is nothign this chick can't do, 50 trax in an hour what!?!?!!;) She should have a mix up soon. Also DJ Lite Brite from the east coast spins Happy Hardcore, 2-Step, DnB. She ****s it up on the decks, and has some incredibly rare trax. And of course Chris E Manic, who needs no introduction. She has stepped over the boundry of dj to producers, and puts out some wicked trax. I wonder if her name seeming like a males has anythign to do with that?........

I love the music and everything thing about it, I would love to be a great female hardcore Dj Ive done some mixes on my mates decks and ive got to say Im not that bad! but the problem is I ant got anough money to buy a decient pair of decks or the vynal Ive bin lookin for about 2 years for some decient decks (on the cheeper side!) but there aint none. I think this is why there arnt many women Djs because there aint enough opportunity to equip yoursely without a big wad of cash behind you the same could be said for men too but its also consedered to be more of a lads thing to do. Well thats just my oppinion speaking from experiance that is.
remember keep on ravin!

To be completley honest, whenever ive seen female dj's spin they have been given more attention than the males (because women are usualy georgeous, we aint heh)
and females have just as much talent as us, if not more, (there brains being able to cope with two things at once and all), its just there is a lack of them, and as said the scene is 99% dominated by male djs, what do you expect?
More girls get spinning!

make friends with someone that works at a store that handles DJ eqipment...there's a good chance they'll hook you up with some kind of discount...or just get a job at one.
I work at a place that sells equipment..and I bought myself a brand new pair of decks for my birthday with a super phat discount.. Probably the best discount on the planet.
Check ebay also, sometimes you can be a little sketchy about the quality of the product, but sometimes you can get lucky and run into equipment distrubitors and get a phat discount that way also.
Excuses won't get you far, just keep looking...save your money and buy a quality pair of decks (if your serious about DJing) not just something cheap, you'll be happy you did.
Then, like with everything else.. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

It's ok we have Lisa Lashes over here and I think that's what's conjoured up that crazy image in this young mans head.
I believe the reason that there are fewer female DJ's is that women tend to be less anally retentive than guys and tend to be less obsessive. Obviously there are baltant exceptions to that but it just boils down to the fact that deep down all us guys are grade - a geeks.

There's more female artists these days. There was and still is some really good female dnb/breakbeat/bass dj's off the top of my head Kemistry(RIP) & Storm, DJ Wildchild, Jo Jo Rock, DJ Rap, Jocelyn D, DJ Terra, DJ Shortee, Reid Speed, DJ Freedom, Queensyze, Syrup Girls, Annalyze, Femme Fatale, DJ Lioness, DJ Empress.
I think some of these women are retired, but some are still going strong....
a couple others like DJ Chiclet (Hard Trance/Trance/Morning Trance), Lady Bass (UK Hardhouse/Trance), DJ Scoots (Hardcore of all kinds), Le Freak (Trance/Acid/Gabber), Miss Zelda (Early Hardcore/Uptempo), Darkangel (Gabber), Miss Flower (Gabber), Double Dee (Gabber/Techno/US Hardhouse/Acid), DJ Apathy (Oldschool Gabber/US Hard House/Booty House) Jen Mas (Gabber/Dnb/Scratching), Madam Zu (Hard Dance Legend), Miss Thunderpussy (German Hard Trance/Trance), Mama C (Booty/Ghetto/House), DJ Irene (US Hard House/Progressive/Club Legend), DJ S'Aphira & Goetia aka Riot Girls (All things Uptempo), DJ Heaven (Trance/Progressive)
I could probably think of more, but these are the ones I can remember and some have been mentioned already.
