Potentially Bigger than David Guetta, Carl Cox or Richie Hawtin?

hey, not only will people want to check her out, she targets two segments, the current EDM crowd and the older, much older market.

You figure at 70 years old she'd have a much more refined sense of music, and not go with that gash electro. Hilarious none the less. DJ RUTH IN THE HOUSE!

LMFAO! She's actually not THAT bad!!!

Superstar DJ: Ruth is a hit in Paris... aged 69

She is the hippest grandmother around, just don't try to talk to her while she's 'working'.

Ruth flowers does not believe in growing old gracefully.

At 69 she is one of the hottest DJs in Paris and shows no signs of slowing down.

But then with a gaggle of teenagers and 20-somethings shouting her name into the early hours of the morning, would you swap that for the boring predictability of retirement?

Growing old disgracefully: Ruth Flowers on the decks in Paris

A regular on the decks at Queen, one of Paris's most popular nightclubs, you wouldn't guess she is approaching 70,, apart from the faint silvery glint of her hair.

Ruth said: 'I think you have to accept the challenges that come your way. You can stay at home, and do nothing but go to an old people's club and to church for a cup of tea once a week.

'But you don't have to do that. If you want to do something then you really can. I just hope I can work that machine.'

While most women her age are well into retirement Ruth, dressed in a gold bomber jacket with scarlet lipstick and dazzling jewellery, is in demand across Europe and refuses to take it easy. In fact, she'd rather die.

'I've got no intention of retiring, well, unless I drop dead,' she said. 'And I'd much rather go out with a bang than linger.'

Not forgetting the baggy tracksuit bottoms, diamante-encrusted headphones and trademark black sunglasses, she fits in remarkably well with her younger audience which is exactly what she wants.

The graceful thing about her is the way she plays down her new-found prominence.

In demand: Ruth has become a household name on the Paris music scene

Known as 'Mamy Rock' to her legions of fans, she only discovered her love of music after visiting a London nightclub with her grandson.

'The bouncers didn't want to let me in at first,' she said. 'I was quite a lot older than the usual clientele, but once I got inside I hugely enjoyed it. I thought 'I can do this'.

'My husband had died, I was retired, I had the time, so why not?'

Her grandson put her on to French music producer Aurelien Simon, 28, who helped her develop her image and style, which is predictably eclectic.

Ruth said: 'I like to mix the old and the new, so I might put electro alongside an old favourite like the Rolling Stones. But I like to please the crowds, I give them what they want.'

Ruth, a singer and singing teacher for 14 years, is yet to match her popularity this side of the Channel but looks forward to playing Ministry of Sound.

Parisian clubber Pauline Robert, 23, said: 'We adore Mamy Rock. She loves to make us dance. We all want her as our grandmother.'

Alexandra Ledys, 21, added: 'It's so cool, I've never seen a DJ that old before.'

It was after a residency at an exclusive villa at the Cannes film festival that her career really took off.

'I can't believe the type of reaction I have got so far. People seem to adore me, they say they want to be like me, when they should just try and be like themselves, the dear things.'

I like how she said "I like to mix the old with the new" and mentions the Rolling Stones...I was hoping for something like 1920s flapper jazz

You're right, expenses could be high. She could die. Then the UK will declare war on the US.

out of curiosity i hit up her manager to see what her fee was. here was the reply:

hahahahahaha

Haha, that is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Why is my grandma not that awesome?

5000 euros is a hell of a lot.

when it comes time to pay, bring her to the office, point at a line of coke and have a spikey haired guy run out with oxygen tanks, and blasts a few sprays in her face and scream out "THIS IS LOS ANGELES, THIS HOW WE DO!!!!"
