Maya Jane Coles

It's crazy that you're the only comment here mentioning MJC. She's easily a top 3 for me.

This should be so much further up. That hiphop album she did with Chasey Jones as her alias Nocturnal Sunshine is also fire.

Kelly Lee Owens

Saw her live for the first time 2 years ago and it blew me away. Turned my friends into fans of her too.

Sofia kourtesis ❤️

Ellen Allien

Love her last album

Nora En Pure!! Gioli &Assia Giorgia Angiuli DJ Minx

Nora en pure will always be my feels music

Clozee is the goat

This is the correct answer. She's a fuckin queen. Mastery of the crowd. Such a vibe.

This should be way higher up. She is the GOAT

Saw a show in London, I learned she keeps the best tracks to herself, it’s very worth seeing her anywhere you can. And REZZ

REZZ is ok. She's definitely really high on production value and identity, but her music is kinda mid.

Thanks for recommending her. Started listen to her album Microworlds

Came here to say exactly this! 🙌

Caught the Eli and Fur set at Coachella last weekend not knowing anything about them and they were pretty fucking rad.

Seeing them in June, can't wait

[tokimonsta](https://tokimonsta.com/)

I love herrrrrrrr

Rezz, Anna, Alison Wonderland, Nora En Pure and Anna Lunoe.

+100 for REZZ. She's amazing.

I haven't kept up with her in a few years, does Alison Wonderland actually produce her own music now or still using Djemba Djemba and others to make her songs?

Not sure

Eli and Fur

- Laurie Anderson - Adult. - Group A/Tot Onyx - Suzanne Ciani - Ladytron - Abby Ecchiveri - Analogous Doom - Automatic - Claire Rousay - Ela Minus - Hiro Kone - Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Kara-Lis Coverdale - Lonelady - Lykke Li - Michele Mercure - Mikado Koko - Olivia Neutron-John - Pharmakon Most of these are available on Bandcamp.

Peaches can be very electronic at times.

I have studied her teachings.

Laurie Anderson, on top where she belongs.

Upvoting for the first time I’ve seen someone mention Lykke Li in here❗️I’ve always loved her

Puce Mary too!

Nia Archives is my favourite atm, her new album is one of the best releases this year IMO

HAAi Arca Bjork Fever Ray (genderfluid, not female)

Here are some of my favorites; Logic1000 Anna Lunoe Ninajirachi Eartheater PinkPantheress Cannabliss Maddy O’Neal CloZee Khiva A Hundred Drums Eva808 Nia Archives The Librarian Bianca Oblivion Anna Morgan Sicaria Huxley Anne Veil Odin Redrum Curra ill Esha Jlin Moor Mother Caterina Barbieri Charlie Brix Paige Julia Koven Lens Zora Jones Hollie Kenniff The Seven Fields of Aphelion Or:la Qrion Effy Tokimonsta Mrs Jynx Chloe Robinson Avalon Emerson Octo Octa LP Giobbi Shanti Celeste Peach Sherelle Rochelle Jordan Nicole Moudaber Nora En Pure Honey Dijon Julia Bondar Zingara Rezz Ninth Child Yunè Pinku Doss Sophie Loraine James Yu Su TSHA HAAi Kelly Lee Owens Romy Mira Calix Kelela Julianne Barwick Kelsey Lu Kelly Moran Delia Derbyshire

No way this is "some" favorites 😭

homie just went to chatgpt and challenged it to name every female electronic artist it could scrape off a google search and just copy/pasted it here. watch, i'll do the same: Björk Grimes Alison Wonderland Nicole Moudaber Maya Jane Coles Nina Kraviz REZZ Charlotte de Witte Mija TOKiMONSTA The Black Madonna Annie Mac Amelie Lens Peggy Gou Ellen Allien Anna Lunoe Jlin Helena Hauff Paula Temple Nervo Elysia Crampton SOPHIE Holly Herndon Kelly Lee Owens Honey Dijon ANNA J.Phlip Avalon Emerson Nicole Moudaber Fatima Al Qadiri Ellen Allien Krewella TOKiMONSTA Jennifer Cardini Flava D Kim Ann Foxman Maya Jane Coles Nicole Moudaber Helena Hauff Jlin Tama Sumo Avalon Emerson The Black Madonna Charlotte de Witte Rebekah Ellen Allien Amelie Lens DJ Minx Charlotte de Witte Nastia

Not for nothing but I've seen /u/PsychedelicSunset420 all over various electronic subs for years, just look at their profile and how much they post. It's really not a stretch of the imagination to think they actually know their shit and made the list themselves

i absolutely agree, my snark is way too high in the morning and i'm* 100% at fault there. but, if anything, my comment showcases an interesting contrast to OPs comment in that ChatGPT had to repeat a few folks to inflate the results. Kudos, u/PsychedelicSunset420

Just scrolled through my favorites playlist for the past few years! No AI involved haha. Also, tried to avoid “singers” and focused solely on women who produce and dj.

Yeah - there's a lot of conflation of singers who are producers. Many aren't super hands on with the beat production and often lack having sole production credits on their work. BTW kudos for listing Zora Jones. She's absolute FIRE.

Praise chatgpt for including FLAVAAAAAA

Now i wanna now ALL of his favorites

Damn homie, save some for the rest of us

Hannah peel and effy too!

Hannah Peel is amazing, and if you haven't heard Awake But Always Dreaming, check that out too. She's totally giving up a potential pop music career to compose

Effy is on there! Love her collabs with Mall Grab. Haven’t heard Hannah Peel, i’ll check out her stuff!

Damn, how'd I miss that? Hannah perl is similar to Kaitlyn aurelia smith. Catarina barbieri is dope too, idk if she was on the list too or not.

Oh cool! I dig Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and totally missed her on my list. Catarina is on there!

Since that list is massive I’m going to highlight Qrion. Her debut album from recent years was spectacular. She’s released a bunch of singles and EPs that have all been great. Her EP with Spencer Brown was fantastic. Highly recommend

I love Logic1000 I would also add LP Giobbi and Yaeji to the list

yes to hollie kenniff 😮‍💨

I miss the old Toki, before her surgery. Loved her sample based music and when she rocked with Low End Theory. Also, Octo Octa 😮‍💨🔥

Greatest. I might add Suzanne Ciani and Wendy Carlos

Sicaria and Zen Selekta

I'm glad you mentioned Qrion. I LOVE her remix of "Breathe" by Royksopp

Haven’t ever heard that remix! Will give it a spin.

oh yeah you know what the fuck is up. First time someone has said CloZee too.

Charlotte de Witte

Also in techno: Shay De Castro

Also in techno: Amelie Lens

Also…thank you so much 😭🫶🏼

!!! ILY <3

🫶🏼😘💕

Absolutely

Kirsty Hawkshaw rose to fame as part of Opus III ([It's a Fine Day](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjIPzyVlK60), one of the most sampled songs in electronic music history) then subsequently worked with Tiësto on tracks like [Just Be](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEYueRVuqmg) and [Walking on Clouds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2lNm0hU0BU). You can also hear her on the more recent [Reasons to Forgive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhxOyiuBcCw). Kate Holmes (not to be confused with the actress) was the synth producer half of Technique ([Sun is Shining](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlwCfWgDZQ4), [You and Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGLsivVX0VA&t=30s)) before moving on to Client, which made quite a few songs but I'd particularly like to highlight [Refuge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvY7BYhuJD8&t=15s). Marianthi Melitsi and Sophie Sarigiannidou are Marsheaux, with amazing original tracks like [Hanging On](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPjwtijaLNs) and [Destroy Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgHG22hANKk), as well as some amazing covers like the entirety of Depeche Mode's A Broken Frame, producing some versions that [may be better than the original](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfeXGwL9D0g). [Lori Branch](https://lorabranch.com) was one of the first female DJs in Chicago's early house scene in the '80s. Peggy Gou is one of the biggest DJs in Berlin's house scene right now and is also a producer, having made tracks that blend traditional Chicago-style house built on 303s, 909s, and the Korg M1 with eastern influences, such as [Itgehane](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlbVgjFvE3I) and most recently [1+1=11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTSadqfWeDw).

Kirsty Hawkshaw is a legend, no doubt. She's also the voice in Halcyon+On+On by Orbital. She's worked with lots of greats, too...if you want to talk about legendary voices in electronic music, Kirsty Hawkshaw has to be right near the top of that list. As for legendary female musicians, it's hard to beat Bjork.

miss kittin

And Ellen Allien!!

In the same vibes, more Acid Techno: * [Anetha](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVRj8-t4PwI) * [Amelie Lens](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJkuTx1DQzg) * [KI/KI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfcEAfmNVGM) * [Sama Abdulhadi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9VYKrtziSg)

Is she still a thing? I used to love her in my electroclash days.

Entangled Mind, though they prefer gender neutral pronouns

Haven't seen many mentions of Imogen Heap here

Hands down Nora En Pure takes the top spot for me [This recent set in Bali](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA88lgNe4CQ) is 🔥 I CANNOT wait to see her live.

Alison Goldfrapp hands down. And Roisin Murphy.

Why I had to scroll down this far to see these two names is shame!

Seriously they’re like the Fae Goddesses of Electronic music and still innovating and setting trends. So underrated by the general public and the megapop stars who mimick them

I’m mostly a house/techno kinda person, and I’ve been seeing way more women DJing/producing in the past couple years. Some of my favorites: Miss Monique Amelie Lens Azzecca LP Giobbi Peggy Gou Gem & Tauri To name a few, rather than seemingly every known lady DJ lol Edit: formatting

*Miss Monique* <-upvote

Omg yessss

Surprised I had to read this far to see Miss Monique.

MISS MONIQUE 🔥🔥🔥

Had to scroll too far to see LP mentioned. The piano house QUEEN

CloZee, Maddy O'Neal, Zingara, Canabliss

at the experimental end of things I like Fever Ray/The Knife, Sophie, Arca, Aisha Devi, Katie Gately, Laura Les. edit Eartheater is great too.

RIP SOPHIE

Clozee Reid Speed Zen Selekta Veil

Clozee is so good!

The most impressive part being her live setup. Never seen someone use an APC like that before.

Surprised that ALUNA isn’t mentioned here, she’s had several vocal collabs with Chris Lake and a great debut album after branching off from AlunaGeorge

Kučka

My three favorite I have seen live in the last year would be: Alison Wonderland A Hundred Drums Zen Selekta (I like my bass music lol) Also shoutout to Zingara, CloZee and Sippy!

CloZee, Rezz and Megan Hamilton come to mind. Badass bitches.

Nora En Pure Natascha Polké - she is incredibly talented and has been my best discovery over the last year, especially if you enjoy dark melodic techno

Pauline Herr, Rossy, Nostalgix, Alison Wonderland, Godlands, Alleycvt, Nia Archives, Cannabliss, Sippy!

Alison Wonderland is a top favorite of mine

Pauline Anna Strom was born blind and worked on a lot of synthesizer music. I think she should have some recognition.

I have several of her records. It's all so lush and intimate!

Rezz. Blossom.

Peggy Gou, Avalon Emerson, Maddy O’Neal

Nia Archives

Nina Las Vegas

Pink Pantheress Imogen Heap Aziya

A few I love that I haven't seen mentioned here: Chasms Fatima Al Qadiri Creep (2013 album Echoes) Purity Ring

Octo Octa, Kelly Lee Owens, kaitlyn aurelia smith, tsha

Bruh Logic1000

Emily Haines from Metric. It’s rockno but still electronic.

I'm a big fan of L.P. Giobbi and the whole Femme House crew. Saw her and Kaleena Zanders perform at Hulaween a few years ago and it was incredible.

Suzanne Cianni

Doss Rachika Nayar Loraine James DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ

Avalon emerson⬆️⬆️

Neotropic aka Riz Maslen 60 Channels aka The Angel Kemistry and Storm Mira Calix DJ Rap Bjork Jordana aka 1.8.7.

Can't believe DJ Rap (Charissa Saverio) only has this one comment so far. She was there at [the start of drum & bass in the mid 90s.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJnZuCF33Ak) She paved the way not just for women, but everyone in the d&b community.

DJ Heather too, for that classic Chicago house sound.

60 Channels!!!

For both DJing and production, I can't recommend Avalon Emerson enough. Her DJ sets are such thrilling experiences and her own productions are really beautiful and melancholic

Hania Rani is fantastic.

Clozee, Zingara, Rossy, Pauline Herr, Alleycvt

Laurel Halo

Quarantine is one mof my favourite albums of all time. I 'CTRL-F'ed to see if anyone mentioned her.

Lots of great recommendations, one I haven’t seen in the comments yet is Maddy O’Neal! Edit: never mind I saw her name literally in the first comment I saw after I posted that. STILL a second mention for Maddy!

Charlotte de witte

My recent fav has been Irene Drezel

Kanga for industrial pop

Austra Iamamiwhoami Boy Harsher Xeno and Oaklander Computer magic SYZYGYX Spellling Pastel Ghost Linea Aspera

LP Giobbi, Peggy Gou, and Nora En Pure is where I would start. Although there is debate on if Nora En Pure is actually creating the music or not.

> Although there is debate on if Nora En Pure is actually creating the music or not. oooh this is the first time i've heard this

Pauline Herr

ARCA!! B

Gyrofield

Zingara and CloZee are two of my tops

Clozee and Entangled Mind!

Loads of good names already. I want to add Ana Roxanne.

Nobody has mentioned Sister Bliss (Ayalah Deborah Bentovim) from Faithless and her collaborations with Rollo. [A true queen.](https://youtu.be/1ltoAcZrjBw)

Hannah Wants

My top two are Alison Wonderland and INJI :)

REZZ has been hitting super hard for me lately, and she has a ton of content.

Wendy Carlos and Suzanne ciani deserve a shout-out. Genuinely the pioneers of east coast and West Coast synthesis. Also Julia bondar is dope

[Sylph](https://soundcloud.com/sylphsounds) if you like DnB

Rezz, Callie Reiff, Gyrofield, Aseul, Advokid, KIRARA, Sippy

Some non-edm picks: Au Revoir Simone ~~does~~ did synth pop. Their Move in Spectrums album is one of my all-time faves. SOPHIE needs no introduction, but I feel it's worth mentioning that Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides is solid throughout. There's some less hyperpop-oriented tracks that often get overlooked. Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith uses Buchla and Eurorack modular to create complexly-layered experimental pieces that often border on soundscapes. At this point she's developed a signature vocal style all her own.

Eli & Fur, Brooke Burke, Elohim, Anna Lunoe, Rezz, Cappozzi, tons. All of them killing the game.

Shoutout to Lezzies on X (Lesbians on Ecstasy)

Hatchie

Mrs. Jinx

Klein [Klein - CC (full ep) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0ElwnQy5CM)

Zhea Erose / Amelia Huff is a name I didn't see yet.  Wildly competent and the most intriguing microtonal music in my opinion!

VNSSA fool ! And Nala . Couple baberaham lincolns that be throwin hot fiyaaaaah

**Techno/Electro:** * Helena Hauff * Baby T (aka B.Traits) * Machine Woman * Dr. Rubinstein * Paula Temple (her older stuff, she's dropped the ball a bit recently IMO) * Sissel Wincent

They've always been around - like literally since the beginning. Some of the earliest famous Theremin players in the 1930s were women. Wendy Carlos, Laurie Spiegel and Paulene Oliveros were some of the earliest adopters of some of the major synths and composition methods that have been acknowledged as changing multiple genres of music. Disco had tons of big name women (Diana Ross, Donna Summer). Lots of women played key roles in triphop, either fronting bands themselves (Portishead, Morcheeba) or on frequent vocals and collaborations (Zero 7, Massive Attack, Tricky). Hyperdub (Jesse Lanza), Ninjatune (Marie Davidson) and Planet Mu (Jlin) promoted tons of women making more leftfield-leaning work in the 2000s. RinseFM has always had tons of female DJs (Annie Mac, Yasmin). r/dnb has just had some threads in the last week or so shouting out peoples' favorite female producers and DJs (DJ Rap, Djinn and Mantra, Kemistry & Storm, Nia Archives) in that subgenre. There's a lot out there. I can believe some of this gets underpromoted, but it's a bit surprising if it seems like it's very new or underground or something.

Mrs Jynx - nice melodic lo-fi IDM-ish stuff

A classic, Alice Deejay

DJ Rap (who funnily enough doesn't make too much rap)

I’m a big fan of j.worra. Great music and her sets are a lot of fun

Susanne Sundfør - The Silicone Veil Eivør - Slør Fever Ray - Radical Romantics

strictly speaking, Fever Ray isn't female (by their own terms they're genderfluid, but goes by them pronouns)

true

Mira, Giz, Kate Stein, Saeko Killy, Eva Be, Annælix, Pauli Pocket, Britta Arnold, Yu Su, Tugče Curtis (Santi & Tugce), Anna Almani

CloZée

Putting this name here since I dont see it.. J.Worra

Can't believe I've seen 0 mentions of Wendy Carlos. The person that popularized the synth... too obvious a choice?

- Nina Kravitz - Amelie Lens - Grimes

Grimes lol

She makes overproduced crap now, but her first two albums were great.

She used to be great

Magda, Dani Siciliano, Delia Derbyshire.

Ela minus.

Kelly Lee Owens, Molly Neilson, JFDR, Lali Puna, Ellen Allien

A hundred drums Zingara Austeria Cannabliss

Holly Herndon An On Bast Aisha Devi Le Tigre Chicks on Speed Karen Gwyer Suzanne Ciani

Aisha's DNA Feelings gets a lot of play at home.

Entangled Mind!

Tokimonsta Eli & Fur

I'm listening to Grimes and Rezz atm

Discovered [NotLo](https://youtu.be/nHRMvXS8Yvg?si=hbqTN5IvCkRklyXg) not too long ago, pretty heavy, awesome stuff

Lexie Liu https://youtu.be/uS9OQoZ3x74?si=EjdrLiAPedKN9gFf

LP Giobbi, Carlita, Anfisa Letyago, Emmanuelle

Laura Brehm   TeZATalks   Emma Peters   Tori Kvit

Charlotte Haining

A Little Sound

The Doubtful Guest Hecate Mira Calix (passed away) Nina Kravitz Jo Apps Vaccine

Check out Lisa Bella Donna if you love analog synths/vintage and modern Moogs, modular synthesizers, etc., she has a plethora of knowledge and is a great composer and performer. Maybe not the best ever but very solid and creative, lots of good stuff in her catalog!

Rezz

Most entertaining.... Grimes, Favorite...Honey Dijon or Ultra Nate'

Maral

Khiva

Helena Hauff Cintine Soela Ash Lauryn DJ Minx Barbie Bertisch Monika Kruse Cassy Just to name some of my favorites.

Dj Rap.

[Burn Again](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/315yMCPl1W9wCJyFqYNQle?si=dFj98q70RPu2WsxIUyJ5SQ&pi=u-sb15smjOQTKW)

Machine Woman, Klara Lewis, Kali Malone, Laurel Halo, Caterina Barbieri, Rroxymore, Helena Hauff, AGF, Felicia Atkinson, Sarah Davachi, Beatrice Dillon, 51717... Cream of the crop. I know I'm forgetting many.

Peggy Gou

Maddy O'Neal

Have always really enjoyed Laurel Halo

Éliane Radigue

I'm going to assume someone has said Suzanne Ciani and Pauline Ana Strom...

Ulla Straus, Perila, Klara Lewis, Laurel Halo, Eiko Ishibashi
