i was very intimated during the very few times i've djed in public,
and i'm
still intimated when i have to prove to other djs, usually males,
that i
know what i'm doing. at times, i feel as if i can be nothing more
that the
dj whore trailing all the djs. i get really self-conscious when i'm
the
only female trainspotting, even though i know i only go to clubs to
see
djs, to watch their techniques, and to hear records i might want to
buy.
i also, i spin primarily techno in the realm of mills, beyer,
surgeon,
etc., and it's hard enough finding female techno role models who
spin this
type of techno. i haven't even found an african american female role
model
ever. it seems that a lot of female spin house or more housy techno,
so i'm
also happy to find female djs spinning more harder or weirder stuff.
currently i'm not djing anymore for reasons beyond my control.
