According to CME “Whether she is a professional keyboard player or a music fan, the Pink U-key fits all her needs and the distinguished the color will make her be noticed.”

It’s been awhile since we highlighted any Chicks That Mix.
There’s probably no better way to remedy that situation than drawing your attention to Little Boots‘ Victoria Hesketh.
Hesketh is the former lead singer with Dead Disco, and now she does her own electronic dance music as Little Boots.
“Little Boots is just me, Victoria,” says Hesketh. “Well, it’s the name for my music project. I write and play stuff and sing and DJ and remix and do covers…Whatever I can get my hands on really!”
And she does analog:
There’s a fully produced mix of this on her MySpace page, but this solo version has its own charms.
Check out her Moroder-esque single, Stuck On Repeat, below. You can also sign up for a free mixtape from Little Boots at her site.
Headph0ne Phet1sh is one of the stranger sites that we’ve come across recently. It’s a site devoted to “all manner of ladies wearing all kinds of headphones.”
They aren’t kidding, either. The site has collected hundreds, if not thousands of photos of woman in headphones. The site caters to all manners of headphone fetishists. Here’s a slice of what the slice is all about….. Read more…
Chicks That Mix: Liz Revision
Liz McLean Knight, aka Liz Revision, describes herself as “a multi-websited busybody, experimental electronic musician, and jewelry designer, with a love of all things technologically innovative and geek-chic.”
We found her site while checking out some dj-geek wear and were impressed. Knight’s got one of the coolest portfolios of projects that we’ve seen:
- Produces experimental / ambient electronic music as Quantazelle
- Founder and manager of subVariant Recordings
- Designer and owner of Zelle, a design company featuring jewelry and accessories, right, created from computer and electronic components.
- Manager of Fractalspin.com, an online store selling Zelle accessories, subVariant music, and other fashionably-geek gear. Check out their “Your beats are weak” shirts, and their electronic musician gear.
- Designer of the Electronic Musicians’ Emergency Adapters, an all-encompassing kit of adapters intended specifically for laptop-based and other electronic musicians. Looks like it would be a great idea to throw one of these in the back of your car, in case you show up at a gig without a crucial connector missing.
- Founder and editor-in-chief of Modsquare.com, which she calls “Chicago’s premiere online resource for experimental electronic music / IDM (intelligent dance music).” Unfortunately, their site got hacked – hopefully it will be back up soon.
In other words, if there’s something cool related to electronic music, she’s probably doing it.
You can get a taste of Liz Revision’s mixes below. She’s got more DJ mix MP3’s at her site, and you can also check out her podcast.
Chicks That Mix: Reid Speed
DJ/producer Reid Speed began career in the New York City drum & bass underground in the nineties, when it was still a bit of a novelty for a woman to be DJing. She quickly built a reputation, though, in the word of drum and bass.
Since then, she’s toured the world spinning drum and bass, speed garage and 2-step, she’s released several mix CDs and been the house DJ for the Jamie Kennedy Experiment television show.
Check out her Filthy Nasty Breaks mix below for a taste of her work. She’s also got a collection of free MP3s at her site to introduce you to her work, including DJ mixes and original productions. Read more…
