alistair šŸ˜‚ Yep….my friend and I watched this live and cracked up the entire time about that. Also, wtf is up with those shoes?

    Agreed. I don’t understand the hate she gets. A dumb interview? Okay. Some weird performative nonsense? Sure. But no worse than any other Coachella-headlining DJ. She seems to enjoy herself. Her fans seem to enjoy her. I guess I’m just whatever about it.

      And absolutely no need to school me on Russian birds, Alistair, I spend most of a normal, non-COVID year hanging around the famous Maggie’s in the Russian district of Beijing, filled to the brim with Russians and Ukranians (though I prefer a Mongolian for the old take-out - bigger tits, better looking, less pricey and less spoilt than your average Russian)…

      jonattonyeah You both need to watch the video I posted. Scroll to 16:30 and watch for 4-5 minutes. Tell me that’s not awful.

      I don’t hate her, but her mixing is fucking atrocious. She’s a pretty woman that trainwrecks hard more often than not.

        Kells77 Thats really bad… How is anyone getting away with that in this day and age? How many great bedroom DJs are there out there who could do better?

          Kells77 I agree. She’s gimmicky and gets by because of her looks (which are receding) unlike say the Black Madonna who gets by on pure talent. There are plenty of better female DJs who deserve their breaks.

          She could have at least played the Nalin and Kane mix šŸ˜†

          Kells77

          I gave it a go. Not my thing so I stopped listening. I dunno, Kels. Just seems like she’s always getting ripped right and left and I don’t see her sins as being any more egregious than countless others. Nick Warren couldn’t mix a gin and tonic. I’ve heard Craig Richards play absolute self-indulgent nonsense. James Zabiela had years there where it seemed he was hell bent on seeing what his effects unit could do rather than what it should do. ā€œShe’s only there because of her looksā€ yeah well welcome to the world.

            bosstrabs Such as?

            Did you watch the Coachella video?

            I don’t hate her! But I don’t believe she’s ā€œEDMā€ either. So, where did she get her credentials?

            By EDM I mean Ganacci, Garrix and the one with the trumpet.

              jonattonyeah It’s no one’s thing because it’s horrific. THAT’S what I’m getting at. You can say what you like about the other people you mentioned, but let’s be honest….she’s much much worse about it. If it were a one off, I would give her the benefit of the doubt, but EVERY set I’ve seen from her, she fucks up like this. So yeah, I do believe she’s only there because of her looks, and MAYBE her taste in music, because the tracks are good….she just doesn’t know what to do with them.

                Heno Those don’t look very comfortable to me. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

                Kells77

                Fair enough. Hey she gives us content to argue about so there’s that. Not like Jody Wisternoff is driving much discussion.

                jonattonyeah Warren comparison is a flawed mate. Ajare and Sad Robot alone are infinitely better than anything she will put her name to
                Moreover, his first three GU’s were excellent. when I have seen him (admittedly between 98 and 06) his tune selections were top notch, he also had a residency at Cream and Lakota in their hay days.

                  alistair err her record label is amongst the best around. I give he massive credit for that.
