Well hey, just goes to show you how gender doesn't mean . I'll never forget the kiddie in the chillout room who referred to Sasha with the words "SHE BLOWS!!!". Most people get their first taste of a DJ by listening to mixes or albums and there isn't even really any way to know whether they're listening to a man or a woman unless the artist plasters pictures of him/herself all over the place (and Armin/PvD/Tiesto are just as guilty of THAT).

So while everybody is having a good laugh at my expense (and rightfully so, no excuses here), consider how well I just proved my own point. :p

I think she enjoys what she does. She's an exhibitionist, and a DJ second. I don't think she's doing it topless ONLY to get gigs.

Actually, it's understandable if you're not into prog breaks (which both Casselle and Meat Katie predominately spin/produce). Plus both those guys aren't really that huge, so it's possible to make a mistake with their gender (especially with Meat Katie).

I don't know if i'd be as forgiving if someone said the same thing about Diggers, Sasha, Carl Cox or PVD...then i'd have to say the guy didn't know what he was talking about. In your case, you just assumed too much...which in fairness can happen to anyone.

The topless thing is a gimmick though. Because if she does that more then once, obviously she's also marketing her considerable 'assets' as well as her talent on the decks. I can understand if she went topless for Halloweeen only (given the freaky nature of that holiday), but if being topless is one of the things she's known for then i'm sorry being an exhibitionist is a pretty lame excuse to give when the truth is far more simplier - sex sells.

The important question though is -- how good was her set ? The titties don't really matter that much (although seeing them flop around and squeezing them at the end of a set does give added meaning to a DJ interacting with the crowd)

:D

Is he as huge as Sasha, or Digweed, or Hybrid or even Freeland ? No...

Meat Katie is huge if you're into prog/breaks...that's it, and despite what you believe Liam, not everyone's into that. Look at the DJ100 List...you see Hybrid or Meat Katie on it ? When i said 'huge' i meant that when i say Meat Katie, you know i'm talking about Mark Pember...like when i say Sasha, you know i'm talking about Alexander Coe (and not DJ Sasha) -- get it, yet ?

Phil K isn't huge either...He's damn good, but he ain't huge.

And my comment was directed at DigiNut in response to the assumption he made, not a comment on the quality of either Meat Katie or Casselle.

Well I'd bet that 9 out of 10 people reading this thread have never heard of either of those two DJs, but if the people who have wanna point and laugh, be my guest. ;)

Point is, there are plenty of female DJs out there that get by on talent and not "assets" - and if they choose to do the latter, so what? WHY do people care so much? I'm seriously starting to wonder if the boobie envy theory has some truth to it.

DJ Rap is a good example of women proving their skills

i had read a biography of hers somewhere (prolly on ehr site) that she used the name DJ Rap when handing otu demos and all to show her skill to avoid discrimination against her based on her being female and also to be appreciated as a dj rather than teh fact that she was female in other cases.

damn the woman CAN spin AND is hot

Who do you think told him ? :p

LOL, actually i might not have tipped Marcin about DJ Phil K, but you're missing my point. My use of the word 'huge' was more about popularity then skill. Meat Katie is immensely talented/prolific producer, but he hasn't gained the kind of recognition where people know the man behind the moniker.

People know Tiesto isn't the mans real name, even someone like me who doesn't like Tiesto knows this. The same is true with Sasha, people (who know their EDM) know he's a man, and he's not Russian, and his name is not really Sasha.

I don't expect people to know who the men behind Meat Katie or Ashtrax unless their into prog/breaks. Hence my comments to DigiNut...

Have i sufficently squashed this...or what ??? :p

does el kay dee sound feminine enough for my material to get signed?:conf:
Kytracid
sounds kinda gay actually...


maybe you should try giving it to Danny Tenaglia, Junior Vasquez, Boy George, Deko-Ze, Victor Calderone, Tom Stephen or Green Velvet...They might be into that disco-diva "i'm soooo fabbbbulous" breaks you produce. :p
