Two things: First, not Detroit but in regards to female producers I dig Miss Jools and her Sol Asylum label. It's house with a techy edge that would mix well with stuff by someone like Norm Talley or Delano Smith. Also, Loren from Detroit is a super talented younger DJ, I think she is like 22 and she's already played the festival, and for good reason.
Second, as far as all female events, some of my female DJ friends seem to have mostly negative opinions of all-female line ups, because they often seem to be offered up in place of actually booking females regularly. At the same time, the music industry is brutal even for males, and I know it can be hard as hell hard putting up with all the extra shit as a female producer or DJ, so I certainly don't think anyone should have a problem with taking a moment to mention a few talented females who are working hard at what they do, unless they happen to be complete assholes. The amount of fucked up shit that females have to put up trying to make a music career is ridiculous. That--not talent--is the reason there are so few females doing it. ~David On Sat, Aug 19, 2017 at 7:51 AM <denisedalph...@gmail.com> wrote: > K. Hand did the same.
