Maggie Derthick, Superdre and Rebecca Goldberg of the crew shedding light on women in dance music talk shop and spin records from Detroit.

Detroit’s Maggie Derthick started Girls Gone Vinyl in the mid-2000s in reaction to the yawning gap between the number of men and women booked to play major electronic music festivals. The project began as a party around Detroit’s Movement festival, but given that the issue was hardly endemic to one event or scene, it soon grew into something larger. Derthick linked up with film producer Jenny “Lafemme” Feterovich to turn Girls Gone Vinyl into a documentary shedding light on woman DJs and the consequences of the industry’s gender gap. Following a Kickstarter campaign, the film is gearing up for an initial release as a series of short online episodes. From our Detroit studio, The Bunker’s Bryan Kasenic sits down with Derthick and Feterovich to discuss the film and the battle to get more women on lineups and behind the decks. The episode is bookended by DJ sets from two Detroit DJs involved in the project: SuperDre and Rebecca Goldberg.
