I am returning to my commercial dance roots with respect to music. I was a bit embarrassed to be relying so heavily on music, and largely pop music, to set a tone. But then Grace reminded me - isn't that what happens during stripping and erotic dancing?
Of COURSE.
Also there is nothing wrong with allowing a soundtrack to say what needs to be said, as long as it doesn't REPLACE body.
Music choices so far:
- Britney Spears - but naturally; 'Toxic', 'Break the Ice'
- Metric - Canadian band with female vocalist and songwriter; lyrics focus on Feminism plus Capitalism; 'Speed the Collapse', 'Gold, Guns, Girls', 'Help I'm Alive'
- The Bird and the Bee - cute pyjama pop; 'Maneater'
- Betty Lightbulb - this is my DJ name; 'Freeky Litanies', 'Bitch Face', 'Moral Panic'
- Amy Jean Barnett - NZ-born, Berlin-based sonic artist; 'Spetra Ephemera', '19/01'
- Lenka - 'Everything at Once'
- Stripper songs - 'Naughty Girl' (Beyonce); 'Strict Machine' (Goldfrapp)
More possibilities:
- Minuit - 'Menace'
- FKA Twigs - 'Figure 8'
- Azealia Banks - QUEER LADY CUNNILUNGUS; '212'
- Emi Pogoni - whkglrfthchshststdbpmn feat. Rose Blake
- E-Kare - 'Track 1'
- Tadpole - 'Alright'
- Jen Kingwell - 'Kissing in Tutus'
Plus instrumental tracks by dudes:
- Disasteradio
- Mongo Skato
- Module
- Rhian Sheehan
