OxyKon Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 EDM culture is a competitive one–with wannabes left and right–fighting tooth and nail to be “top dog” on the scene.At worst, the genre is a depraved contest of who has the biggest proverbial dick in the industry.But there is one talented group that is often neglected when it comes to EDM blogs and Top 100 lists–WHERE MY GIRLS AT?From sheer quantity alone, EDM culture may seem like a “boys club”, so we wanted to highlight the best emerging female talent in the EDM game. Mind your boners, Gentlemen, these female DJs can show you how it’s done.1. MAYA JANE COLESMaya Jane Coles is an unprecedented talent with a deep understanding of how to make really good music. The British-Japanese DJ/producer recently released her debut album “Comfort”–that offers a new sound for the EDM collective. Not just a DJ–Maya is a multi-faceted artist who writes, produces, arranges, mixes, performs, engineers and illustrates artwork for her tracks. A complete fucking production–ladies and gentlemen–she is the total package.Check out “Everything” by Maya Jane Coles featuring Karin Park https://soundcloud.com/mayajanecoles/everything-feat-karin-park2.

Her style and sound are completely unique–as she uses percussion, live instruments, vinyl and digital manipulation to create a breathtaking, well-layered soundscape.Check out “Go With It” by Tokimonsta featuring MNDR. https://soundcloud.com/tokimonsta/go-with-it-feat-mndr-off3.
