I see you have a good line of defence, I bow to your great intellect, obviously that is such a good reason for advertising for female DJ's, how could I have ever doubted you? Please accept my apologies, I know not what I do. It is not my fault that I am who I am, I am afraid I am merely a product of my environment. Please can you save me from this dark, hideous place in which I find myself and take me to your new, wonderful world of enlightenment.

CTW Members luke revival Posted July 7, 2003 Author CTW Members Share Posted July 7, 2003 This is true..Also, more lads go on t'internet. We get more lads in the club. therefore we get more demos from lads! Hence this post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said Sarah, its nice to see that you are giving every1 an equal chance by encouraging more female djs to come forward I wish you all the luck with your event & people should be encouraging you, not havin a winge coz they have got nothing better to do. This industry is hard enough as it is lets see a li'l more encouragement for talent for males & females! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members luke revival Posted July 7, 2003 Author CTW Members Share Posted July 7, 2003 THANKYOU!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Right Ive just read the whole post and have to say I really do not know what Blink and Happy are making such a fuss about. Is it not a good thing that he is giving new talent a go in the 1st place? He said he gets demos off blokes already but wants to give female DJs a chance aswell. This doesnt mean that men cant send in demos aswell surely. The way i see it is its a post to grab he attention of the female DJs on CTW and maybe they'll think "Hey I didnt know he was deffo looking for female DJs, I'll give him a shout" But more to the point, Its his night and he can do whatever the [censored] he wants!

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted July 7, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 7, 2003 So what proportion of your demos are from black people? Are you not worried that black people are under-represented in house music? Can't you see Blink's point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got a BTEC 1st in aeronaughtical engineering & i did an apprenticeship in airframe/engine engineering & i certainly didnt do that coz it was trendy, i did it coz i was bloody good at it! Please stop all this sexist crap coz it is really winding me up & you are talkin out of your arse! Men & women are capable of doing anything, if you put your mind to it you can achieve anything! & sexism is only alive in minds like yours!
