Where Underground Bass meets Pop, Datgirl is a unique beat producer and MC, playing 100% live sets and scratching her sounds from scratch with analogue hardware gear, to create her own brand of girl-powered lyrical electronic dance music.

Her lyrical mystique and sexy zany wiles have been nothing short of cause for commotion. Playing a unique improvisational set solely on drum machines and synthesizers, DatGirl delivers a high-energy performance, with live vocals and her sonic laboratory of blinking toys, electronic eye-candy and tactile soundwave tools that engage a crowd into wild interaction. After moving to Los Angeles to pursue screenwriting and improv comedy, her vocal/electronic music “hobby” took on a life of its own.  She started MCing, DJing and producing electronic music in the glitch-hop/crunk/dubstep music scene in LA, and is known for being one of the few producers to play live with drum machines and synthesizers while incorporating her own live vocals into the set.

 Datgirl has created her own genre named Slutstep to represent a female oriented empowered, comically sweet, and bass-heavy sound with hopes to inspires girls to be producers and shakers and not just “The DJ’s Girlfriend”.  She strives to keep the element of live performing and musicianship strong in a music culture that is moving closer to computerized over-production.  

Slutstep was featured on the AOL/Spinner Listening Party for the week of March 6th, and AOL subsequently censored the title after Rush Limbaugh’s “Slutgate” happened the same week the album dropped. Released exclusively on Beatport, Slutstep made it up to #4 on the Glitch-hop album charts and stayed in the top 20 all month. The single “Dancefloor Talker” was #59 in the top 100 of Glitch-hop tracks in March 2012.
