BOTH Sister SF and Witches’ Brew were nicely reviewed by Nitevibe this week. Yay! Thanks Nitevibe :-) Bay Area Female DJ Collectives The phrase “female dj” has come into being as a mixed blessing for aspiring women djs. SisterSF, a collective of nine female djs from SF had this to say about the public image of female djs, “If we get asked to spin at another ’sexy chick DJ party’ wearing uh, y’know, something tight, we’ll scream.” Their focus on the artistry of djing makes the group a springboard for female creativity in an otherwise male dominated artform. In Berkeley, another female collective, Witches Brew champions a similar gender-breaking spirit of turntablism playing all genres from broken beat to funky house, breaks 2-step, nu-skool breaks and drum & bass.� Individual and group upcoming performances include regular weekly & monthly appearances. This week hear Melyss at the Blue Anniversary. Date: Friday 6/28, Time: 9pm-2am, Place: 111 Minna, Cover: $TBA. More info: Melyss, Amber, ForestGreen, Seraphim, WB Calendar (AK) Nitevibe, Issue 87

Cody and Dave (the Carbon Community) recently teamed up with Son of the Electric Ghost. Congratulations on getting signed to Bless records, guys! Talk about my production Dreamteam. And it’s all happening in Texas. hehe. I’ve been a fan of both the Carbon Community & SOTEG for some time, and I’m really excited to hear what will come out of their collaboration in this near future. I also just noticed that there’s a page up about Cody & Dave on Nubreaks, which you can check out: HERE
