Girls?

Zascar

Random thought occurred to me last night? Are there any girls on this forum at all? I think I have seen a few post once or twice in the clubbing section but can't say I know of any regulars here. Super extra bonus points if she Dj's.

BaZmO*

There's a fair few that act like girls on occasion! :pac:

They're all waiting for Soulful and Funky House to make a comeback.

Wouldn't like to see the one's waiting for the Hardcore Breaks :eek:

woman trapped in a man's body?

Four-Percent

Oh how I would love for a single one of my female friends to like dance music....

Will

I was introduced to dj'ing and was taught a bit by a female dj. She's pretty awesome.

She's on here too but will leave it up to herself to post if she so chooses.

Me.

But I'm only pretending to like dance music. I'm really just looking for a man.

If you think that's extreme, sure I went and did a degree at Uni for the same reason.

Had to clean the thread sorry lads

Anyhoo back on topic, are there many female irish Dj's on the scene?

LOL now that my super duper thread got vaporised we will never know...:mad:

I'm a girl if that helps. Don't post much on this forum though. Prefer the ones with slightly less modding


edit: Haha I'd already replied to that poor lass before I saw this thread

Zascar

Ah come on its not bad over here. The reason I had to clean the thread was it was reported because of comments about modding on other forums - so rather than risk it I just deleted and got back on topic.

yeah, there's a good few... most of the ones i can think of moved on to other pastures though; genie still plays around dublin, aoife nic canna is always on the go too... ali from bassbin left the country, as did B who ran studio b, beatnik (who was one of their residents) hasn't played out much in the past few years... err... there's saoirse ryan, orla feeney and the rest of that sort of ex-hard house crowd, and then there's dj halfdutch who does her eclectic thing (extraordinarily technical dj!)... up-and-coming-wise there's k.ska and crazel as well as a good few others i'm sure who wouldn't neccesarily be gigging...

I'm on a career break :pac:

No really, was big in to DJ'ing for years (got decks at 13, started gigging at 14...) playing all kinds of music in all kinds of venues big and small, till about a year or so ago (I'm 25)

Honestly, as working DJs among you know, when its "your job" as in you are relying on the income and are out driving up and down the country five nights a week, the fun sorta gets sucked out of it

Also dance music wise, I got very bored with the "music" (remixey shyte) being churned out :rolleyes: and "other" music wise, peoples narrowminded choices of what they want to hear on a night out. In certain gigs you can put in zero effort or 100% and still get the same reaction, its very disheartening.

So I'm taking a break for a while. I'm tired of it. I miss my friends and ya know, being on the other side of the decks is fun too

At the moment I'm doing a low key saturday night and that's it. its in a bar, the equiptment is sh!t, but I get to play music i really, really like and everyone who works there is sound so its a pleasure to come to work. People seem to be enjoying it too and coming back which is nice.

I will definitely get back into "proper djing" though when I feel the time is right. I went out on a high note though, competing poolside at this years WMC I didnt win but ya know what? I did a bloody good job and had an awesome time

oh also hi all, think its my first post here :P

mairsmi

I'm a girl:) but sadly not a DJ.

I lurk way more than I post on here but I LOVE reading the Asylum thread and listening to the tunes linked. Brings back very happy memories of Sides DC days.

Sure it can't only be guys who are into dance music...

I can't contribute to lots of the threads about events/club nights as I live in London now so am pretty clueless about Dub nightlife.

this is my favourite board on the whole site. Mods or not ...

Jay D

I'm a girl too and I post loads, screw you Collie!!

:pac:

Lia_lia

I'm a girl! I like some dance music.

Went through a "wanting to be a dj" kinda phase a few years ago. My Dad works in music and my brother and I used to cling to his DJ friends whenever we'd visit him when we were younger. And we'd get them to show us how to work their equipment and all that.

insert-gear

I didnt mean the modding in here particularly, just boards.ie in general. Having to toe the line and the likes. Not much of a fan of that.

Sure everyone knows theres no girls on the internets. I usually get mistaken for a bloke anyway with the way I talk and stuff.

lol.

I know Stu Chapman myself, really sound guy and a very talented DJ and producer:)

Hardcore Breaks News
Random Profile:

STU CHAPMAN

Hailing from London, UK... but now living on the Gold Coast of Australia, Stu has always listened to breakbeat driven music. From Oldskool Hardcore to Jungle, to Drum'n'Bass he's played it all, but in 2003 (Thanks mainly to an inspirational conversation with MC Nino of Production House/Baby D fame) he decided to not only DJ, but write and produce electronic music just like the Oldskool Hardcore he lived and breathed for years.

Fast Forward to 2004... a few like minded people began writing tracks with a modern day twist, and many of the labels that are about today within Hardcore Breaks were born. Enormous Mouse was one such label.

i was always of the impression that me and jtsuited are "the usual suspects" but apparantly its cm tyranny and vinyljunkie.

maybe because he cant see what me and jtsuited post hes presuming its us.

actually strange thinking

I browse a bit here but I'm more into the music than the clubbing element of things these days. The experimental music forum seems a bit friendlier and more suited to my tastes. The discussions can be quite aggressive in here too, putting me off posting altogether.

That is a very good point, something that I think might warrant its own topic, as this has been said to me a few times.

The forum has changed significantly in the last while. We've got a lot of new members who are contributing very positively and generally making the place a lot better and more interesting (thanks guys, you know who you are) but then again some have said that this forum is far too "clicky" and people are afraid to post. I'm sorry to hear this as I do think when noobs post we do out best to help them out and provide good advice. Although if anyone posts what is perceived to be very low quality dance music, they usually get quite a hard time - but in fairness most other sites are exactly the same...

I might think of putting up a new charter or something to generally encourage newbies etc and generally get more banter going in here. Please use the report button or send me a pm if you want to highlight any behaviour that goes against this. The aggressive posing you mentioned is usually confined to one small group, its been going on for years and most of us find it hilarious! However in reality we try not to do too much moderation in this forum and generally just let it go - however this is not dmi/emi and as much as it may sometimes pain me, I am bound to the overall rules of boards.ie and have to act appropriately. Compared to most other forums there is a very low amount of modding done in here, and even at that there are a lot of moans and groans whenever we do. I often have to resist temptation to even clean a thread that has gone ridiculously off topic (like this one) - personally I'd prefer to see some threads just get a kick back on topic to discussing the subject in hand, but often its good to let them go and see what happens.

Anyway I think most of the regulars would agree the sense of community spirit has improved a lot in recent times, there was a time not all that long ago when this forum was almost a ghost town...

Yeah the experimental forum is good but tends to be tumbleweed a lot the time, unfortunately!

jtsuited

Ah to be fair, apart from the me/Sean/VinylJunkie/A good few others vs. Jonny saga, everything else seems to be civilised around here.

There's a good laugh to be had here and there are a good few of us who share very similar interests musically.

mrs.vandoorn

Im a girl and dance music is life for me. Dont post often because might get 'heckled' by all the males in here. So its a +1 for the girls.

I think alot of new female talent is breaking through at the moment ie. Orla Feeney. Its good to see.

fits

I'd forgotten about this thread. Meh I'm just not really into the 'this genre is FANTASTIC, that genre is ****e' arguments. People like what they like, dont try and force it down someone elses throat, dont belittle them if they dont know the latest releases on some obscure label, and dont think less of them if they werent attending the best clubs in 1987.

And while the protagonists above might think their little spats are hilarious, I just find it dull and offputting. Just telling you like it is.

ibeatza

i was just thinkin the same thing, as I am a girl

They may be different, but I can think of one connection.

I can think of a sentence using each of those acts and the word 'vomit'.
