ways with the music. It feels really fresh
because I can’t do the same mixes that I
know worked together at other recent
shows. Or the other person might play a
track that triggers me to dig up some track I
totally forgot about. It can be super exciting.
I feel like Hux and I should just wing it. I know
our music will work together and so I think
just total spur of the moment will be the
best way to do that set! Dig dig dig and
surprise each other. It’ll be a blast!
What advice would you give to aspiring
DJ’s and Producers?
EDM's Portrayal of
Women
Artwork with lots on show or full on
barbie figures. Flyers with models
posing.
The fact is, attractiveness sells. I'm
sure if we had a half nude woman on
our cover, our magazine would be
flying off the shelves regardless to
what it had to do with music!
Don’t get too caught up in what everybody
else is doing, or whats the hype, or who’s
“blowing up”. With social media and all the
blogs and magazines and stuff like Boiler
Room, it’s really easy to get your head
caught up in all that, and it can be a
complete mind-fuck, especially if you’re
trying to make this your full time job. You’re
going to watch a lot of people blow up
before you, people you might know and
people you don’t know and people you think
suck and people you think are dope. None of
this matters, what matters is you and what
you do. Try to stay positive even when
things are tough. Everybody has a different
path, and nobody else’s path is blocking your
road. It took me a really long time to figure
this out.
If you wasn’t a DJ what would you be
doing?
Pool hustler.

Interview by Cessle
Why do we not have loads of rugged
hot males on all these imagery?
The industry is very male dominated,
and women do have trouble to get
their voices heard in the business
world. We need to shout louder!
We need to prove to all men out there
that we have the ability to be equally
as professional and successful as
men.
I do agree with the fact that some
sounds do have that soft / sexy sound
that can inspire imagery of women,
maybe rough bass could be a new
market for rugged male artwork .. It
should reflect the track
One thing that is for sure, this issue
needs to be looked into more, it's
probably less of a big deal as we grow
more modern, women are making
more of a stand, but we still need to
keep working on this.
