This time in a different way, showcasing some of the finest upcoming female producers from across Grime/Dubstep, Bass, Funky & Garage to both highlight the talent the industry sometimes suggests as hidden, and to promote the opportunity available to any upcoming producers regardless of gender.

Nina Wilde has been putting in the work for the Midlands for over 10 years. Based in Wolverhampton she started DJ’ing in 2000 and jumped into production in 2004. Over her career she has played up and down the country and overseas in the likes of Norway but recent highlights include BoomTown, Beatherder and a number of appearances in Sheffield at the likes of Tank & The Night Kitchen. Releases have spanned across Champion’s Formula Records, FooR’s Yosh, Saucy Records, Hot Cakes & loads more.

DJ Q highlighted Nina as one to watch in his interview with Fabric in 2017 and its not hard to see why. As well as her long list of reputable labels she has released on she has gathered support from Herve, TS7, Kissy Sellout, Mike Delinquent and My Nu Leng who used one of her tracks on their Fabric Live promo mix. Marcus Nasty has also heavily supported her through playing her music on his radio show on Rinse FM as well as welcoming her for on their for a Guest Mix.

Whilst working on the track for this project she was on the hunt for some vocal stabs which she shouted Champagne Bubbler for. He sent a full vocal over which he recently wrapped up and after hearing it Nina decided to use the full version on the track.

Bamz, the 22 year old programmer/producer & DJ hailing from South-West London. With a love for music from as young as 6 beatboxing before jumping into production at the age of 10 it seems music is ingested in her DNA. Pursuing various musical ventures through secondary school soon after leaving she met rapper - Nadia Rose. 5 years later she now has the privilege of being Nadia’s right hander both in the studio and as a DJ spinning for her at major UK Festivals such as Wireless, Glastonbury, Love Saves The Day, Bestival as well as international appearances at Sweden, Ibiza & Brazil where they performed at the 2016 Olympics.

The last couple of years has seen her pursue her own productions as well as assisting Nadia focusing specifically on Funky House. She hosted her own show on Radar Radio until recently before dropping her long awaited self released Buggin’ EP on Bandcamp which received a huge reception. Flexy shows her raw talent and various influences from different genres she has been following over both her younger and teenage years.

The final track on the all female release comes from K Minor. Based across the Thames from Bamz in North West London she started producing in 2013. Although playing instruments from a young age of 8 including piano and guitar gave her a real understanding for music theory. Having also hosted workshops for Native Instruments and Red Bull on electronic music production.

Since taking up producing more seriously in the last 4 years she has been self releasing her own UK Garage music with support coming from DJ Cartier, Mike Delinquent, Marcus Nasty as well as a feature from Complex UK. Funnily enough it was the Prince of UKG himself Conducta who recommended K Minor for this release after coming up short on our hunt for a female UKG producer.
