Women of Techno & Electronic That You Should Know
BY KAREN SILVA
If you're an avid concert-goer, like myself, I'm sure you're missing the feeling of entering a venue and grabbing a drink and heading towards the barricade and becoming friends with the people who are also anxiously waiting to see their favorite band, musician, or dj. You can still get that feeling when you find a new dj to rock out while exercising, writing, or cleaning the house - anything to stay sane these days and what better way with some very talented djs.
We adore all things rock but who says you can't have fun exploring other amazing genres!
