First of all, I'm sure the artists on here are making cool music. Will
listen later.
But, this article and all similar articles are so out of touch and elitist

I agree, that's why I mentioned "sustainable."
I wasn't trying to criticize UR, but just looking at the facts that markets
change and you have to make enough so that folks can eat.
And I have to solve this problem too, because I'm a musician myself in the

1. Stealing by RA is terrible. Remember that along with the fact of black

Sorry for the "reply all" there... unfortunately the mail program default

Oh wait, I actually forgot three of my favorites, both as DJ's and
producers:
First off, Margarat Dygas who is associated with the Perlon label.
Also affiliated with Perlon, and fantastic, is Sonja Moonear.
Finally, Anthea out of London plays and produces some wicked stripped down
techno.

Here's another one to watch, Antenes. She lives in Brooklyn but I knew her
in Chicago when she would play proper electro sets (the real kind not
whatever got called electro later). She's not only a talented visual

First, not Detroit but in regards to female producers I dig Miss Jools and

stuff by someone like Norm Talley or Delano Smith. Also, Loren from Detroit
