Around 10 years ago now, when I started a regular DJ night at Heathers in New York City, I had the idea to observe Women's History Month (the month of March). The idea was simple -- to play songs from only female artists (or vocalists at least) for the entire evening. It went on for a few years, to little fanfare, but it was a lot of fun and I thought it was meaningful, and hadn't seen or heard of anyone doing such a theme elsewhere. We even donated our paltry DJ earnings to a local non-profit, RightRides for Women's Safety.

So, I had the idea of recording a mix with this theme. I think it came out pretty ​great​, if I may say so. It's representative of what I'd play out, and contains some of my personal favorites. There's a bunch of legitimate well-known classics in here, but it's not intended to be a "most important female artists" list. It's a mix of songs I would​, and have​ DJ​'d​ out. It’s fun. A bit dark at times, but mostly fun. So​,​ don​'​t get too huffy that there's no Nina Simone, Patti Smith, Bikini Kill, or Beyonce ;)

Enjoy! And, happy Women's History Month. .
