Femmes Fatales is...

A villainous woman who uses the power of her sexuality in order to ensnare the hapless hero. The phrase is French for "fatal woman." In music circles, Femmes Fatales now refers to the first ever compilation of its kind honoring the burgeoning presence of women behind the turntables and on the mics. This collection showcases 12 original tracks by a dozen of the brightest up and coming female DJs, producers and vocalists. Styles range from energetic trance to progressive house to circuit with a 'lil drum n' bass thrown in for good measure.

This supremely evolved aural platter features the single "100 Stories" by Andrea Burns alongside original music from Colette, Jes (from Motorcycle), Jan Johnston, DJ Keri, Dena Carman, Mea, Layla, Angelique, Celeste Lear, Colleen Kelly & Eve Falcon. It also contains exclusive tracks and remixes by: Perry O'Neil, Noel Sanger, Burnsie, Interstate and Black Liquid. Produced by Mike Burns (director of the documentary Peace, Love & Beats and one half of the group Interstate), Femmes Fatales is fatally infectious!

In 1993 she began collaborating with Chicago house mainstay Lego, adding vocals to some of his mixes and occasionally to his live sets.
