All of the fire and all of the fury in the Stoney office today as a disconcerting press release appeared on info link, suggesting an Australia-wide demand for topless female DJs.

A signal which either suggests that we’re secretly all boob-obsessed animals (look we are but we’re respectful about it, kay?) or there’s a misogynistic marketing department taking one serious step for man, one serious plummet for womankind, the article is about as bleak as marginalization in the DJ world can get.

‘Heavy market research and popular demand from the Australian mining towns as well as major city venues means the Topless Dj’s will become a huge success’, the release proclaims. Guess ya can’t argue with statistics, ay.

Even worse, ‘with world DJ rankings it has become a very male orientated industry, so it is great to witness talented female Dj’s using all their talents to become better recognised and appreciated.‘ Funny because last time we checked, being expected to whip out your cans during a set doesn’t particularly constitute a ‘talent’, sigh.

An unpleasant flick of prejudice in an industry which is slowly but surely seeing sexism dissipate into a gender-irrelevant body of awesome talent, we do not welcome suggestions that topless DJing could be a trend, much less have a demand. Contrary to the belief of this article, the overwhelming majority appreciate DJs for their musical talents, not their breast presentation. And those who don’t can go jerk off in their basement now. Yep.
