Anyone here catch wind of the recent hoopla over a known female DJ using footage of herself in a bubblebath in a video for one of her tracks?

I thought the bubble bath thing was from a documentary, not a track video?

Be fair, she's not that bad. She played some good tracks the one time i saw her. 

I do think it's a fuck load easier to make it as a DJ if you're female, however. I find it a bit frustrating hearing how female DJs talk of all the obstacles they've had to overcome. BS. A fair number get fast-tracked. Despite hardly ever meeting girls who have a clue what they're talking about with regards techno/house etc, I'd guess about 25% of the resident DJs in Berlin clubs are women, and 100% of the female DJs i know have residency. 

That said, the Sisyphos resident female DJs are really great. Yeti Meissner always has a solid and uplifting house selection (i also really fancy her), and there's another girl who plays harder techno (no idea what her name is). On the couple times i seen the latter she's always been the highlight of the night.

What I actually love about djing is it really is about how good you are as opposed to you image. Sure there are exceptions but the full on career djs arent lookers and very few have gimmicks.

Daft Punk are the exception but they have produced some corkers, then you look at norman cook, carl cox, pete tong, judge jules. They are they money makers and they look like your dad's mates.

Most quality djs are geeks, it is great.

To be clear that wasnt a list of my fave djs more highlighting some of the most financially and critically successful ones.

Is she of Lenny?

Oh, she's Russian and can't close her mouth.

I mean I try and tell myself that gut reaction comes from an exasperation with general species ease of going with our programming re: presentation but I'm quite certain it's mostly on me and my own breeding.

No B, I'm pretty sure I've read numerous times that 'attractive' people ae more successful in whatever their chosen field. I shall endeavour to back up with citations

Presumebly because it irks you that if you were so inclined to engage in something, you could be disadvantaged even if you're working damn hard at whatever you do, and some pretty young thing comes in and sails past you with no effort because of his perfectly symmetrical features.

Just for the record, Within, Instant Crush and Motherboard are also fuckin choooooons

Well you're wrong, thats that then

I totally have a heart.

Never heard of any of them.

Within sounded good until the vocals kicked in. Then it becomes dogshit.

I really like them if done well. Around the World for example. This is not done well.

Instant Crush is an improvement. Vocals do not grate - but it's just boring.
