San Diego's female DJ scene is alive and thriving, as it increasingly draws top talent each month, thanks to Red Sonya's devotion to the art of promotion. I am happy to report I will be throwin' down with the SD sisters in the month of May.
Excitement and nervousness toyed with me as I entered the Scratch DJ Academy for my 1st lesson with Turntablist superstars Shortee and Faust. I had signed up for Scratching class, better know as 202. It’s been something I wanted to learn, ever since the academy opened. My expertise has always been in long, smooth blends, and the prospect of learning to scratch offered a new foray into the world of DJing. Being a fan of classes, personal classroom attention in a structured format (to keep me motivated) appealed to me.

For its first year effort the LA Women’s Music Festival at Woodley Park on Saturday, August 26, Females on Fire in conjunction with Gaia Rocks established a well-organized precedent for future festivals to come. Not since the Lillith Fair, has an event taken place to showcase female talent, that also embraced the principles of the Green Era, culminating in a ground-breaking eco-music event powered by solar energy. Mona Holmes of SheJay worked tirelessly to unite some of LA's finest DJ talent under its pink dance tent, and I was honored to represent with a set.

It's funny when you happen upon yourself on the internet!
But that's what happened...well sort of...This is my first day on Selectress and I have to recommend this website. A few weeks ago, I got an email asking for a track listing of one of my mixes for a website. I sent it in but never heard back. One day I went to check it out to see what it was. I have to say, the diva in me went crazy because they gave me such rave reviews but then I discovered mixes by Claude Von Stroke as well as a fellow She DJ, Kellilicous. Anyhoo, send in your mxes to this site. It's good to get your stuff heard AND you will discover all sorts of great new stuff.

Two women I have to mention, so completely different from each other, yet both so dynamically inspiring to me in the way of their enthusiasm and insanely high spirit, are Diamond and Amyx.
