good to hear on both accounts! I've been working a lot/prepping for my set tonight so I haven't had time to hear much new stuff this week but I took the day off tomorrow so I'm going to play catch up - will report back

In response to the controversy today, this is an AWESOME thread of female/queer/nb DJs and producer from all walks of the dance music spectrum, I have a lot of digging to do
The guy that heads up the Giegling and is one half of Kettenkarussell was talking to a reporter about how women don't have to try hard in the industry and are being propped up, insinuated that men are just inherently better at things and then made a bullshit apology saying the female reporter didn't understand his humor.
