The paucity of renowned women in electronica, ambient, hiphop, reggae is pronounced. Then we haven’t even begun to talk about production, mixing and everything that happens behind the mixing boards. This is probably a result of the early engendered cultural prejudice that is reinforced at almost every level of society the moment a kid is born. Boys are good with stuff. Girls are good with emotion. Anyway, this periodic focus on women artists is my way of encouraging a cultural shift.
