Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes -
International Womens Day 2018 pt1 .....
The idea - to just try and demonstarate just how much electronic music of all genres is being created by artists who just happen to identify as female.
As always, this is in no way an exhaustive list. I'm always just skimming the surface of creativity and as ever it's just a starting point...it really is the tip of the iceberg of some of the music I've listened to this past few weeks and brace yourselves, there are two other lists like this one for IWD2018.
I just wanted to see for myself how many artists are out there creating a huge range of sounds and I've deliberately not put them in any order to underline how eclectic they are -
Artists on the list in no particular order or preference....
Una Lee, Lesley Romano, Sarah Peebles, Anne Guthrie,Yara Mekawei,Brona Martin, Ivonne Paredes, Deutsche Wertarbeit, Carlotta Jacobi, Orphan Ann, Lola de la Mata, Sonae, Shelley Parker, tay_ploops, Daina Dieva, K.M Ende, Suzanne Doucet, Fetter, nosnetrom, Matzumi, Madoka, Nina Kardec, Jane Weaver, Chloe March, Xsara Dion, Immaculate Degenerate, Klara Lewis, flor.con.venas, Lyndsie Alguire, RYO, Jingg Yu, Alyssa Moxley, Georgina Canifru, Caterina Barbieri, Morita, Jayne Dent, Silvia Kastel, Michele Abondano, Gail Priest,  Jelena Glazova, Lyn Goeringer, Heidrun Schramm, Carolina Eyck, Norah Lorway, NKISI, Donna Maya, Marlene Claudine Radice, Felicia Lush, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Suzanne Ciani, Margaret Noble, Ekin Fil, Christine Ott, pinnel, LauraNetzAnaKravanja, dibuk, Ikonika, Alisu, Aylu, Zoe McPherson and Shams Asma.

Faran Ensemble is a three player group, who joined each other in a
spiritual quest, expressed in music and sounds. It has been years now that
these players have deeply engaged themselves in studying the musical
instruments and the theory of music with the best teachers in the country
and abroad.

The instruments played originate from esoteric and ancient traditions of
the East.
KAMANTCHA is an ancient musical instrument whose origins are
rooted in Azerbaijan and Iran.
OUD, one of the most ancient string instruments, is found anywhere it is customary to have very strong and dark tea in a small cup.
The Percussion which have been in use since the first human heartbeat.

The ensemble members grew up and come from different places,
backgrounds and sceneries. From the very dry desert to the luscious green
through the hectic noisy city sounds. The composed works reflect all of
these as they were composed together by the four ensemble members.
Both the composition-works and the musicians are deeply influenced by
the Eastern musical system called 'Maqam' .
Maqam in translation means all at once a physical place in the musical scale,
the fingers' placing on the strings and the melody which expresses this.
But more than that, 'Maqam' refers to a meditative place. A state that the
player must be attended so the music will be played as it should be.
In ancient cultures each Maqam has its own particular hour in the day,
season and a specific ceremonial connection.

Faran, is a dry desert wadi, which fills with water and life only in rainy
winters; and in the hot season, otherwise silent. It crosses Israel on its
way from Sinai, ignoring all borders.

Music for us is a journey.

kate carr melds the exquisite details of her field recordings with an ephemeral approach to the song. this australian has relocated herself to london after many trips around the globe. with each orbiting journey, she has collected innumerable sounds from the urbane to the aqueous and from the frenetic to the sublime, contextualizing all of these into compositions rippling with primordial melodies through guitar, piano, and electronics. the story surrounds us follows her highly acclaimed albums i had myself a nuclear spring (first released on her own flaming pines imprint in 2015) and carr's debut for helen scarsdale in 2016, it was a time of laboured metaphors. emblematic of her work is a gentle dislocation between the environmental sounds and her drone-dub ellipses of somnambulant melody. the clatter of a frozen dock or a vibrational shimmer from rustled objects or the unintelligible whispers displaces the sense of self amidst a sea of disparate symbols and coded thought. more a travelogue in and out of one's own body than to any particular place. carr suggests "in a way, it is about restlessness, an uncomfortable tossing and turning in all these many different places, a struggle somehow to forge a connection between my own internal world and all these places and persons i have encountered. i think this holds a sense of unease and strain, with both beautiful and failed moments of intimacy and connection which are made either possible or impossible in the difficult and distorted context of being away. it is quite sad, really." look to carla dal forno, alan lamb and those moments of clarity in the shapeshifting ethos from jewelled antler for neighboring sounds to kate carr's chimerical compositions.

After releasing her debut EP ‘Sentah’ on Enchufada, accumulating almost 1 million views on her explosive Boiler Room debut and racking up shows all across Europe, London-based DJ and producer Mina isn’t taking any breaks this year as she prepares to release her new single ‘Allo’ featuring afrobeats scene rising stars Omo Frenchie and Gafacci.

After the release of debut EP ‘Sentah’ earlier this year, Mina breathes new life into standout track ‘Ringtone Riddim’ by enlisting the vocal talents of London-based Congolese MC Omo Frenchie, whose 2016 debut EP ‘D.I.T.D.’ saw him collaborate with artists like Abra Cadabra and gather praise for his unique multilingual style that combines English, French and Lingala in his lyrics.

Bonding over a shared love of West-African rhythms and dancehall beats, the two biggest influences that shape Mina’s personal style, the two UK-based artists linked up at the Red Bull Studios in London and an immediate connection happened over the instrumental, inspiring Frenchie to come up with the vocals on the spot.

‘Allo’ is Mina’s first release of 2018, a year that has seen her profile grow steadily as she put out a critically acclaimed vinyl release, continued her ongoing collaboration with Ghanaian MC Bryte on her recent ‘Make Money’ single, and accumulating as many views on her Boiler Room debut as frequent flier miles as she brings her vibrant DJ sets to Europe’s most global-minded dance floors.

Premiere: Sonae - Rust

Monika Enterprise, founded in 1997, is the home of such exceptional artists as Barbara Morgenstern,  Masha Qrella, Cobra Killer, Michaela Melian, Pilocka Krach, Natalie Beridze, Gudrun Gut, Islaja, Sonae and Monika Werkstatt.
Its not a specific sound, nor a style, we call pop, electronic or indie, which characterizes the label Monika Enterprise generally. Its more the idea of music as a possibilty to express emotional and daily things and to grow with each sound you come to hear, while moving on with the music itself, which have all releases on Monika, in common.
