Apart from the 2 guys and a girl, run-of-the-mill trip-hop(sic) bands Sneaker Pimps/Moloko/Lamb, Mira Calix is the only female artist that I know of that actively makes electronic music. Why is that ? Any opinions ? |

If you can call Sneaker Pimps, Moloko and Lamb IDM, then I guess Madonna is another female you can add to the list. And Björk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but madonna doesnt make HER songs ;) CHEERS! |
||||||||
|
|

hahaha |

Erm, you've not heard of Leila? Excellent female "IDM" artist. I think if anything girls have it a bit easier in IDM as they're seen as a novelty. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
they cant punch either! |
||||||||

indeed leila is fugging great |

occfactor... notice I said trip-hop(sic) bands Sneaker Pimps/Moloko/Lamb...I meant specifically female artists that compose electronic music. Ceri, the term "IDM" is not mine...specifically I meant female artists that compose their own music... electronic to be precise. I can see what you mean, but the scene has rarely determined who makes it and who does not. People like Laura Nyro, Joni Mitchell, Tina Turner and Patti Smith did not approach the industry when they were being welcomed with open arms. |

First Album, "Like Weather" is on Rephlex, her follow up (forget the name) is on XL. Good soul/rnb/idm hybrid. 3 different singers. She used to play keyboard for bjork. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just found out about her...apparently on Rephlex and an erstwhile member of Bjork's support crew. Two albums so far... Like Weather and Courtesy of Choice, the former on rephlex and the latter on XL. Four singles, 3 on Rephlex and one on XL. Not much released since 2000. Am talking about the same person ? |
||||||||

homophobic, are we? |

I saw Lektrogirl DJ in Newcastle........ I am pretty sure she also produces. Also: Miss Kittin. And for the drum n bass fans there's always DJ Rap.........! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard of a dj psycho-bitch....dont know whether to get her album with that crappy name..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hell no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does lisa lashes count? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess not...there are enough female DJs...not to diss those that spin records...but I guess electronic music composition is an altogether different story from beat matching records. That does require talent, but a differnt kind of talent... I was thinkingmore in terms of a female Aphex/Ae/Plaid/Squarepusher... Mira Calix, Bjork and now Leila seem to be the only ones around. Vocalists for 2 guys and a girl bands like Portishead do not count. That rules out Beth Gibbons, Liz Frasier, Louise Rhodes and the ilk... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never thought of bjork as idm or electronic in the slightest way, shes just a singer (?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah she was until homogenic...but seeing as Vespertine was produced by her to a large extent...and the beats on that were both hers and Matmos'...I would say maybe she fits...just about...not like the other two...but atleast she is a far cry from the lady from the Sneaker Pimps or something. Also, she had the good taste to sample Oval...work with Matmos and Mark Bell and now has Squarepusher with her on her live tour dates. That pretty much puts her in the thick of thinghs...don't you think ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
being surrounded by idm artists doesnt make her one herself....if you can point me to her most idmish least vocal stuff ill be happy to buy it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't consider bjork idm either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lektro girl does produce, pretty weak IMO, although I've only heard a few tracks by her. Whilst I like Ms. Kittin I'd hardly class her as IDM. DJ Rap is a great DJ, not sure if she produces though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well...she makes electronic music, that is dance oriented...which is truckloads better than the 'pop-a-4/4-on-top-of-a-phat-bassline' kinda run of the mill stuff... and well, when a gener has a name as corny as IDM... if it is DM in anyway...the I part of it is pretty much subjective, isn't it ? |
