chloe: > I find it very interesting that more girls aren't into this type of music.
opportunity and the doormat principle, or... Maybe the reason grrls/chicks don't APPEAR to be into techno is coz they can't get t-shirts that fit? hell if i could, I'd be wearing my musical taste. what's the deal with planet e and femme shirts btw? no info on the site. Seriously (though my point about tshirts is serious), the sexism in da scene gets bloody boring. Maybe babes, less forward than you and me, can't be arsed to stand up to the crap? That said, there are a lot of women into electronic music. A lot may be taking a backseat but they are no less influential or important. Cyclone writes about the music, and I gotta say people all over OZ respect her work and look for it (troo!). I am the only person playing detroit techno (on radio) where I live and I know people are listening and taking notes. Another friend is doing it for the deep dark junglist crew. We might not be making the music but we are suggesting what people should listen to. I'd rather be staying low and pushing a solid groove than selling out and shouting out (and some sistas are doing that too). This is only a small pocket of Australia. Expand that state 2 state, nation 2 nation and raise the influence... And I gotta say there's nothing wrong with dancing. The woman wiggling at DEMF was obviously an inspiration to all, from reading the 313 demf posts. Music is made for movement. emma mee-thod
