my opinion was that she was probably one of the worst dj's i've seen bar none(skill wise)...the word mixing has absolutely no meaning to her....she does make decent music but as far as djing is concerned....the word dj is quite incorrect....nothing in her set was "mixed" per say....just when one song ended...she crossed the fader into the next song....as far as technicality it was horrible.....now why she is allowed to get up and embarass herself...the only explanation i can think of is because shes a girl(nothing personal to IDM girls(no idmgirl threads please))....the dj kicks cd has to be the biggest sham since who knows what..but deffinitely not her mixing on that cd...another note on her performance, about 1/2 at least of her set was her songs as he mentioned....but i wont go off on that tangent...nonetheless i'll end off on a good note saying that i do for the most part like her music, if not to diverse but still decent sounding. she was deffinitely the most dissapointing act of the whole winter music conference(notice i didnt say worst...worst would have to go to wink or icey or some bullshit like that)..anyway....ummm i think ill let this lead into my review of the wmc....ahh ill put it in another email...anyway....if i want beautiful i'll go to a strip bar...if i want music i'll go see a decent dj.....dont confure the 2. dj.merck Greg Earle wrote: > > > Any word on a U.S. release of Andrea Parker's "Kiss My Arp"? > > Dunno about US, but at WMC she told me that Mo' Wax was putting it out in May > finally, with a single to precede it. > > BTW, she's an absolute Goddess in every sense of the word.
