Detroit's Female DJs.. Movement After Parties.. Film Incentive Boost.. GM Recall

Thursday, May 24, 2012
Last year, DJ Jenny Lafemme was gearing up for the annual "Girls Gone Vinyl" after-party at Detroit's Movement electronic music festival when she had an even better idea.

"I was looking around my studio and it went off like a lightbulb," she said. "We have equipment. We have a studio. Let's make a movie."

Show promoter Maggie Derthick has organized a women-only lineup of performers as part of a DJ night she dubbed "Girls Gone Vinyl" that has accompanied the festival every year since 2006. Now she and Lafemme (whose off-stage name is Jenny Feterovich) are spinning the concept into a documentary to chronicle the lives of female DJs and other women who are involved in the electronic music scene around the world.
