is a data:base and platform for active women in drum&bass. This means that you can find profiles from a lot of females on this website who are either producing, djing, writing for magazines and websites, booking dnb-artists, singing, mcing, promoting parties or clubs, running record labels, doing the press for some labels, making photographs of artists or are graphic or webdesigners for drum&bass-related projects. The main purpose of this project is very easy to describe: networking. The music scene and especially the drum&bass-scene is still very male-dominated and competitive. Only a few women made it to the top internationally, and the number seems to stagnate. Therefore
it is often very helpful for women to exchange experiences and ideas on a platform, or start working on a project with some females from another country who they have just met via this platform. This is one reason why we are here. Junglistic Sistaz is on the one side for the ladies, to communicate with each other; on the other side it has an additional representational function. It is a quality reference for women in drum&bass.
You as a visitor of the site, flicking through the profile section, will notice that there are a lot of woman out there - in many different countries worldwide - who are active in the drum&bass-scene.
This also means that drum&bass is already a global phenomenon, listened to by an ncredible amount of people - whether it is in Puerto Rico, Latvia or Texas. Most of the women on this site don’t want to be something special or exotic, they just want the world to know that they are out there and say “hi!”. One of the project’s founder, DJ Shroombab, strongly believes in the importance and the success of this platform. “I think it’s a good idea, I had it already in mind a couple of years ago. Then I got so much positive response from all over the world, and I think that there’s still a need for such a project.” If you are a female activist and want to become a member, please contact: info2008(at)junglistic-sistaz.com for further information.
The history
Before this project was getting international, the JUNGLISTIC SISTAZ were a female drum&bass-crew from Austria. Shroombab & MC Terra organized their own clubnight called “bass land” in Vienna, and due to their energetic and professional live-performances
they had numerous bookings in whole Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Hungary from 2000 till 2002. Sometimes they are still performing together in Austria, but whereas DJ Shroombab sees her future in the music scene, her heart devoted to drum&bass, MC Terra has
mainly transferred her highlights of life into another direction. They both wanted this project to stay alive and the idea of an international platform came into existence. And here we are now...
