I am an electronic musician who, as someone recently said to me, set up Feminatronic to act as "soft PR" for female electronic artists from all genres and styles. If I can give a little helping hand then why not?

10 YEARS OLD

Apparently Feminatronic is 10 years old. I can’t really believe that I am still here…

I have an urge to write something about those 10 years but for today I shall just post the very first playlist that I put together for Feminatronic.

KAIJA SAARIAHO

1952 – 2023
