Amps Lottie was the only one who played anything you would want to listen to.

Lottie was ‘dece’ as Smallman would say. Misstress Barbara played alright (proper) techno, but of the bouncy Umek and Valentino type IIRC.

I usually saw Lisa Loud on the bill for the more handbag house nights around Brum, like Moneypenny’s and Ministry of Sound Bar.

    Never saw her but she was around pretty early on…certainly early 90s, probably late eighties with the likes of Nancy Noise

    Amps She used to play before 12 at Turnmills to a half empty dancefloor at best. It officially finished at 7am (and the rest) so the few times I saw her, I was still straight. She was ok 😂

      Lottie could pull out a really decent set of jacking house.

      Chester burd.

      I suspect the reason so few of us saw these female DJs in the 90’s is because the industry was so blatantly sexist. They were all as good if not better than the very well connected Judge Jules!

        Er, I saw most of them, just not Lisa Loud.

        I think there was some sexism, but not of the sort you mention. I saw Lisa Lashes, Anne Savage (they were regulars), Lisa Pinup and Lottie* at Sundissential, who seemed to have figured booking loads of female djs had UV-wearing teenage boys queuing up to cream their pants over them.

        *My memory does not deceive me, she definitely played Sundissential a few times when she was less well known, early on though, to a sparse room.

          I must have heard DJ Rap play at sterns in the early 90’s. Can’t remember if she was any good though.

            Give me “handbag” over “hardbag” any day of the week. Industrial filth. My hoover makes a better noise.

            Amps barbara is an excellent dj. i’ve seen her several times and she’s never been off, may get a little ear-bleedy at times, but that’s too be expected.

              Only ever saw her once and she finished on Das Glockenspiel on the main room at Cream. A moment I’ll never forget.

              I defo would too

                Barbara or Lisa Loud?

                I hate that record, it’s fucking shit.
