WLRN Music Hour #18: Dance Party with DJ Phoenixx

This month on your Women's Liberation Music Hour, DJ Phoenixx presents songs for your very own Dance Party that include some of her favorite dance music. Being a fan of funk (it's not easy to find female/Feminist funk bands, by the way!), she also likes dancing to Disco. It is hard to find Disco songs that are not misogynist and/or steeped in a male love interest when sung by female artists. Phoenixx did find a couple that she is comfortable offering to us in this context of women's liberation. For Phoenixx, it's important to us as Radical Feminists to just dance out the layers and layers of anger, frustration and sadness to music that moves our bodies. So, hopefully in this next hour, you will find your body moving to the dance-able rhythms. Song List: (with introduction) Sisters are doin' it for themselves Eurythmics featuring Aretha Franklin Amazon Like Rock Staceyann Chin Rise Again Amazon wimmin/Judith Casselberry Sisters in Struggle Lesbians on Ecstacy Amazonas De La tierra Mayra Casales Leaping Lesbians Sue Fink, Joelyn Grippo Ain't No Backin Up Now Isis Ain't No Mountain High Enough Diana Ross Got to Be Real Cheryl Lynn I'm Every Woman/Respect Aretha Franklin You Gotta Believe The Pointer Sisters Think Twice Henrik Schwarz Remix of The Detroit Experiment Shaman Weavers Dance Carolyn Hillyer Check out this link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pjJEtA3Br4
