Do you have a favorite black lesbian DJ as well? How about favorite Armenian-American straight-edge DJ?

i do have to say she plays the most obvious Persuader track but since it's the Persuader, and everything JD touches turns to gold, i'll let her slide.

Jesper Dahlback may be my favorite Scandanavian techno producer....is that not PC enough? am i wrong to catagorize my favorite producers by region?

Magda's a fantastic DJ, no matter her chromosomal
makeup. Female techno DJs are still rare, so maybe I have a tendency to emphasize gender when I hear an exceptional one.

Go buy her mix when it comes out and try to catch her if she plays in a venue near you.
Peace.
