Misstress Barbara's Human After All

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) July 17, 2009 5:01 pm
As far as singers go, Misstress Barbara is a great DJ. Earlier this year, the famed Montreal house DJ broke the fifth wall of electronic music by emerging from behind the kits, her pantsuited silhouette now a flesh and blood person. Not surprising, then, that her debut album as a singer (along with hypnotic beat doctor) plays to this conflict...

Misstress Barbara — I'm No Human

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) May 8, 2009 4:46 pm
It's interesting that Mistress Barbara chose the title I'm No Human to signify her first emergence from behind a set of turntables. The Montrealer has plenty of experience kicking ass as a DJ, but this disc marks her primary steps into the life of an "artist" who creates music rather than mixes it. Barbara doesn't do much to excite...

Misstress Barbara — Relentless Beats Vol.2

in
By Darrin Keene (CHARTattack) February 12, 2002 2:17 pm
Misstress Barbara is the reigning queen of slamming beats. Live, the Montreal-based DJ commands a powerful presence behind her decks, banging her head like the lost fifth member of Slayer. Her mixes may not reach the intensity (or BPMs) of some of her hardcore cronies, but the hard techno and tech-house ditties she spins are a high-octane brand of...

Misstress Barbara — Relentless Beats Vol.1

in
By Hannah Guy (CHARTattack) February 14, 2001 8:15 am
Relentless Beats Vol. 1 is what you'd typically expect Moonshine to release. Hard techno with a trancy touch and lots of it. Sadly, there's a good reason for Miss Bab's practically seamless beats: the beats are almost exactly the same. Toying with similar tempos and speeds that only vary slightly in their pitch, Babs has created a CD full of...

Fucked Up Are M For Mistreated In Montreal

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) November 23, 2009 5:22 pm
Why don't I give the M For Montreal alliteration game a try, since everyone else was doing it this past weekend? M stood for music, Montreal, (venue) Metropolis, bands such as Malajube, the new Molson beer M and even people's names, like M For Metropolis host MC Gilles, during the three-day local music showcase. Well, after Saturday's huge...

It's funny that there's a cameo on here from Brazilian Girls because the whole thing sounds like Brazilian Girls. We're cool with it. What's weird, though, are the Sam Roberts and Peter, Bjorn And John appearances. Those are kind of WTF.

Misstress Barbara Trades In Techno For New Style

in
By Angela Kozak (CHARTattack) February 24, 2006 6:30 pm
Misstress Barbara was once in the air cadets, can fly airplanes and got her start in music by drumming in a punk band. These days, she's almost always behind turntables in crowded clubs. But that doesn't mean that the Italian-born, Montreal-bred DJ shies away from risk. Barbara freely admits that her newest mix CD, Come With Me..., is taking...

Montreal Buzz: Cruel Summer

in
By Lorraine Carpenter (CHARTattack) August 13, 2004 1:30 pm
I can't help being bummed each time the reality sets in that summer is winding down. School has been out of my system for a few years, but still I feel the urge to cram as much fun as possible into these last weeks before September, as if I'll be doing anything other than sitting in front of this computer a month from now. Maybe I'm disappointed...
