Yep, sausage fests all the way. I don't really get it. Same goes for writing about the music as well. And for producing and DJing, especially in Detroit! And sure, there are plenty of talented female DJs and producers around the world, just not nearly as many as the dudes. Denise On Thu, Jun

That's why I play deep house now, that, and I'm too old to dance to anything faster than 128 bpm... ;-) Seriously though it's hard for me to get into pounding stuff or really fast tempos anymore, I did enjoy Mills when he played at Smartbar Chicago though, that's about the only hard stuff I've

Long standing debate that one - maybe they (female producers/djs/writers) just can't break through or maybe they don't get into it in the first place because they know it'll be too hard to break through...or maybe their brains are wired differently and they just don;t care enough about the

Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's being trapped on an island with all the other yobs, but I feel like the UK would sink in the ocean if it wasn't inventing a genre every few minutes. You'll have to excuse we Yanks if we can't keep up. Case in point -- Boomkat has this '14 tracks' thing where

Whenever I hear about a party that advertises that all the DJs are women, I feel suspicious. The lure should be the music that'll be played, not the gender of the DJs. Unless their gender has some direct bearing on what I'll hear, why bother to mention it? It makes me think that the party
