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?

REBLOG – ACL – Hanna Svirska ~ Yangola

A swirling beauty with a dark underside. This is today’s listen thanks to A Closer Listen : )

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

Vangola brings back pleasant memories of French label Prikosnovénie, in multiple aspects from Hanna Svirska‘s fairy tale aesthetic to Sana Shahmuradova’s folklorish cover art.  The project is released on Kyiv’s Standard Deviation, who also released last year’s superlative compilation From Ukraine, For Ukraine.  While Svirska was featured on that project (with an ambient version of “Inner”), Yangola is a showcase for her skills.  The EP tells a valuable story, a parable of encouragement to a people in crisis.

PLAYLIST #147 – D IS FOR…

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes –

It’s 2023 and I’m taking stock this year and seeing how far I’ve come on my sonic journey, especially as it’s my 10th Anniversary year.
To make sure that I’m giving space for as many artists as possible and to try and discover new one’s, Feminatronic will be focussing on Artists alphabetically throughout the year on all platforms.
Here is an updated playlist for the letter D –

As with all the playlists, there are no prefences and focussing on letters makes the playlist very eclectic. They are jumping off points to discoveries. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next….follow up on “sounds like”….see who’s following, many artists follow other artists….

Here is the letter D…Artists are Jayne Dent, Christi Denton, Cio D’Or, Marie Davidson, D3K∆, Dionysa, Dynamo Dresden, Cris Derksen, Dellaplicca, Trixie Delight, Xarah Dion, Aisha Devi, Death of Codes, Daina Dieva, Delikatess, Lucrecia Dalt, Dibuk, dejacusse, DuChamp, Catherine Duc, Susan Drone, Sophie Delafontaine, Rhea Dally, Dominique Devine, Constance Demby, Dalot, Suzanne Doucet, Delphine Dora, Sarah Davachi and Delia Derbyshire.

Playlist #200

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes –
Sometimes tracks are just too long for the usual playlist I put together so I decided to put together bite sized playlists for longer tracks.
Bite sized in number of artists but not scrimping on the length and quality of the listening : )
Experiments in sound, where artists have created, in essence, music, pieces, sound and noise that try to go beyond the usual and traditional.
Take some time and immerse in the sound waves.

As with all the playlists, they are jumping off points to discoveries. They are not meant to be definitive. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next….follow up on “sounds like”….see who’s following, many artists follow other artists….
Artists are Patrizia Mattioli, Patricia Bizzotto, Takako Minekawa, Liz Helman and Nkisi
