Got inside by 12.45 (so disapointed that I missed X-Cube, next time dude)
Not as packed as the last time Mistress Barbara came to Helsinki, but good room to dance
overall AMAZING set, she really tore up the place, from the first tune dropped to the last she really had an amazing flow to it, really loved her new style of minimal-techy house
played all kinds of tracks from James Holden to her new release K-10 ;)
Would be amazing if Mistress Barbara could do a massive event or go to Stereo...(really Stereo bring her please)
A little wierd crowd but meh its Ottawa ;)
9/10 = Mistress Barbara |

Stereo did bring her on Dec 2nd 2005 for her 30th Birthday Bash.
I wasn't impressed unfortunately. Her minimal tangents got to me. :(
The overall party was great tho. :) |

Misstress Barbara Crosses The Borderline
Text by Jonty Skrufff (Skrufff.com)
Misstress Barbara has signed to James Holden’s Border Community and ditched the hard techno she’s best known for with ‘more melodic, stripped-back- dare we say minimal’ music, the label revealed this week.
“Border Community is proud to announce the latest new recruit to our burgeoning roster of supremely talented genre-benders, “ BC declared.
“In an era when traditional genre boundaries of dance music are becoming increasingly blurred, it is entirely fitting that techno heroine Misstress Barbara should now find a second home in the Border Community.”
Barbara’s first (excellent) track Barcelona fits seamless alongside existing BC gems including Nathan Fake’s Sky Was Pink and Fairmont’s Gazebo and should dramatically reposition her at the top end of the minimal-techno tree. It’s also likely to prove financially rewarding, representing yet more vindication for the raised-in-Canada Sicilian star.
“I remember my father saying to me one day 'OK, you spend several hundred dollars a week on records, you don't have gigs every week and when you do have them, how much do they pay you?',” Barbara told Skrufff in an interview in 2004.
“I was like ‘$75’ and he was like 'OK, if you do the maths this is not really good for you' and I was like 'sure, you're right, if I do the maths. But this is now; one day I'm going to earn much more money and I'm going to make all my money back.'
He was like 'OK, but what if it doesn't work?' To which I said 'Dad, you don't understand, it's going to work'. He was looking at me with that 'yeah, right' expression but I knew it would.”
Friends were also particularly doubting, she added, with few believing she’d succeed.
“I was really insulted by so many people when I said I’d decided to become a DJ , I remember thinking 'f++k, they don't know what I'm talking about', but I knew it was going to happen,” she said.
“Nowadays my father speaks about me to all his neighbours and so many articles have come out in local magazines and on TV shows. And my friends are also always calling for guest lists.” |

She's also posted a new track on her myspace page - a remix of Panurge - Black box. It's very vocal/electro-ish. Did the track you heard have vocals?
I haven't heard her mention this Black box remix in any interviews...but she's mentioned Barcelona quite a bit. |

| I gotta say that I'm very disappointed in the new direction she's taking her sets. She was known for a certain style and flair, and I believe it was this that made her popular. At least it was what made me like her. Possibly the biggest disappointment for me in this entire year is her sudden shift of styles. It really is a shame. |
