Chicks Can't Mix

Re: Chicks Can't Mix

so do you think the 'novelty' factor of having a female behind the decks may be influencing promoters choices more than they perhaps should?

Re: Chicks Can't Mix

tbh fair to nikki, she is a TOPLESS DJ. she doesn't market herself as a dj. nor as a good dj. but a TOPLESS DJ. so of course they would book her on her looks. thats all there is.

There's always room in this world for topless DJ's no matter how bad their mixing

^ I was expecting the Nikky one... Ahhhh.

Ok then, lets turn this thread around:

There are some djanes that do it their way, and there are others that do it in another: musically!

So, here is a live mix @ Pasha Club [Romania] - Jan 2008 (the only live gig available at the moment). But before I continue let me put you in the picture of why don't consider this mix a top of my performance. The simple reason is that I am a Pioneer djane, I use only Pioneer (all series) coz its the only brand I feel as an extention of me when I play: special effects, tweaks, breaks etc etc.
And for my surprise when I got to the club in Romania I had to play on a rotative mixer that had never seen before:



So I couldnt fully feel free to perform at my best, but the gig went fine nonetheless and here is the LIVE recording of it, 3hrs+ of tracks that I don't usually share in sets and play only live... Dark & Proggy of course!

This is the pic of that night:

Re: Chicks Can't Mix

Right, now that I have your attention - especially you female turntablists out there - I'll elaborate a little.

My inspiration to make such a bold (and potentially hazardous) claim has been sparked by two events this weekend; firstly I went to see Anja Schieder at Fabric on Saturday. While her tracks selection was excellent, her mixing was frankly appaling - including the worst train wreck i've ever heard at Fabric. One fuck up is of course forgivable but from my recollection every one was fairly questionable (was anyone else there to verify).

Secondly, as i write this I'm listening to Smokin' Jo's Ibiza podcast, which although not awful, is far from proficient. Great tracks again, but very dody mixing.

I know this isn't going to make me super popular (I'll be building my Shiva-shield shortly) but this just isn't good enough. Both those mentioned above are at the top of there game and should be delivering flawless or close to flawless mixes pretty much all the time. In all the times i've been to Fabric I've never heard a male DJ mix so badly. And with something like a podcast, surely the time and effort should be gone to to make it as enjoyable a listening experience as possible? Is it the case that these DJ's just wouldn't get gigs with the skills they posses if they were male? I have to say that in some cases i think this is probably true. Ellen Alliens Fabric mix for example...one of my favourite mixes but it's badly mixed, as is every set I've heard her play.

As i type, Jo completely train wrecks another...very poor.

Re: Chicks Can't Mix

Re: Chicks Can't Mix

By everytime... I mean twice so that is argueable.
I have yet to hear a live recording of hers that I enjoy. Maybe you could point one out?

i dont have any live mixes downloaded taylor i used to collect them but now i just listen to them, if i like a track i find a tracklist if possible and stick the name of the track in my little folder to buy it when i can afford to buy it
