Since you mentioned the fact that not all women can sing - can you tell me about the Next Girl DJ contest, which you’re involved in?

Yes, it’s about why women aren’t as well established in the DJ business. I decided to join this project when I was reading DJ Mag’s Top 100 Poll list, and there was something like just two women on the list. Magda and another I didn’t know. This is so embarrassing, because we have so many good women out there who play really well. So we’re doing this mixing contest, and it’s happening in London, Paris, Berlin and I think Brussels. I’m on the jury, with Noura from Beatport.

I also want to invite the winner to my radio show, and I’ll say something like, ‘Hey girls, go and mix, don’t wait for someone to push you. You can do this by yourself!’ Make them feel more comfortable.

What do you think possible solutions are, besides things like this contest?

The problem with girls, in my opinion, is that we’re very critical of ourselves. We don’t take ourselves so seriously, even though we’re serious about what we’re doing. If our name isn’t the first on a flyer, maybe we don’t care, but a male colleague would be like, ‘Hey!’

Because we are so critical of ourselves, when we go home from a gig we think about, ‘Well, this was good, that was maybe not so good…’ We are really going over everything, and I think boys are not like this. They come home and say, ‘That was great, I was fantastic.’

We girls think more, and we want to be perfect, and maybe we’re not sure of ourselves. This is maybe also the problem, that boys are more confident.

Reasons I don’t play out: ^that critical thing above, I’m not that good, My attention span/lack of ego, The fact that at the end of the day a DJ’s job is to please people and I really don’t like people enough to care if they’re pleased, I’ve always had a problem with selling myself and the things I love for monetary gain echhhh. But always mucho mucho power to the quality female dj’s out there doing there thing!

What did you mean about how long a record lasts these days? Do you think the shelf life of records is shorter than it used to be?

Yes, of course it is, and this is really sad. The feeling I have had in the last months is that a lot of new talents came up, and they just made a record saying, ‘Come on, I want to get into the charts, and I want to get bookings, and I don’t care if the record lasts.’ It’s not… how do you say, when you have respect for something, you say, ‘I want to make something, I want to tell the world something.’

In the beginning I thought, ‘I want to say something, I want to make something that lasts.’ And I have the feeling that these young talents don’t have this so much in mind.

It’s more for their DJ career, and this is sad, in a way. Of course, it also works, but I’m not sure how long it can work. But there are some talents out there that also develop through this process. It’s not bad to start like this, and then develop yourself - this is also possible.

But nowadays, there’s so much music coming out every week. It’s unbelievable: I don’t even have the time to listen to all of the music, every week. And it’s not just me, it’s everyone.

I’m getting two or three full days worth of music every month. It’s absurd!

When I remember the early days, Thursday night was the night when you would always listen to promos, and it was easy, just sitting down with all the vinyl. Now it’s not possible.

I burn things to CD, but I always forget to play them. But because I’m only bring vinyl, I don’t play much new material.

Yeah, but this is also really good right now. Sometimes I doubt myself, because I end up playing all these promos, and sometimes it’s the first time that I hear them, when I play them out. Sometimes I get home and I’m really frustrated, because I didn’t make my DJ set the way I wanted, because it’s like, ‘Oh this is new, what is this, I can’t remember…’

It’s not good to be like this. I really have to learn to focus more on the tracks I’m already playing for three months, but this isn’t what I’m doing right now.

It’s a balancing act, really, between new material and the music you know and love. You also don’t want to be one of those DJs who plays the same set every night.

This is true. You have to find a balance. It’s all about time, and really concentrating, really listening to the tracks. Give them a chance, and they’ll last a little bit longer.

super cool

-When chefs burn out in the kitchen (elBulli closing)
Comment: “Chefs are quite like artists (in fact many do both). Unusually high rates of alcohol and drug addiction abound. Most smoke cigarettes to calm themselves down and to get some sort of break (the laws about breaks and working hours simply don’t get applied to chefs).
Spend ten or more hours in the extreme heat with a bunch of crass, possibly hungover guys with bad tempers, and it’s easy to see why this is a hard profession.”

-US renames Negrohead Mountain after black pioneer
The 619-metre peak near Malibu, became Ballard Mountain after John Ballard, a blacksmith and former slave

-Black Women And The Black Women We Don’t Get
I think this is funny because of the cultural disconnect between black female artist of the past/present (ex: betty davis, patti labelle w/ the crazy outfits, tina turner, grace jones, erykah badu, lyn collins so on and so on ) and average black females.
It’s as if they never existed and broke the stereotypes of black females in some way shape or form
I don’t know it’s bigger than just black females, females in general
It’s like societies ideals cancel everything out

Characteristically, her hallucinogenic territories are fractured and distorted, yet balanced by the richness in palette, gesture and reference. With witty shifts that collapse time, space and sound
