Boogaloo Pussycat (Berlin)
Miss Shingaling (NY)

Leenda Karina (LA)
Rena LaReine (LA)
Peppermintwist (NYC)
BossyBoots (NYC)

Also gotta give props to my homegirl Chela (NC) who keeps things live on the hiphop party side, cutting up both vinyl AND Serato, in addition keeping it lively on the mic.
Pam the Funkstress
The retired Lily Tran (and her younger sister, our very own Audamn)

i have to add my sister broken chameleon, she is holding down my hometown right now with 60's soul and rock
and there's this one other one from SF, doesn't play out much anymore, okay on the cut though, hmmmmmm, who could I be thinking of????????
SHE CAN GO WILD IN THE STREETS OF NC ANYTIME
double DOH!
you guys(gals) rock
Also gotta mention my homegirl Miss Leema, she's reppin it big in Germany.
Two-woman tag team funk / hip hop / groovy music powerhouse in Minneapolis -> Ebony and Ivory.
Also, Ivory (Jen Downham)'s mother Joan Downham has been known to hit the decks on occasion and absolutely kills it every time. Dean Martin, Irish folk music, Isley Brothers "Fight the Power," little old lady reading glasses, arguably my favorite local DJ.
Portland -> Deanne Rhymes and Just Alice hold it down!
Girl can rock it.
There are alot in Toronto mind you... I would hate to drop some names and forget anyone HA...
Saw Missbassie lastnight! You played some great chunes! I give her the "I can put back a pretty hard drink and can still play rekords" award.
Quit frontin' Anna, everyone knows you spin techno like there's no tomorrow.
