It's been my experience that there are DJs out there that simply don't seem to improve over time, because they simpy don't put in the effort. We get better through practice, not just the years we spend doing something. If I say I've been fixing cars for 12 years but in that time I only fixed 2 cars I'm still not going to have improved at fixing cars. Know what I mean? Same goes for DJs if they have been deejaying for 5 years but never practice at home, never create their own edits, figure out what works best with what, create remixes etc... unless they play every night at a club and do their experimenting bits at a time they are probably not going to be that good. All I'm saying is I'm getting tired of seeing a ton of female DJs out there that don't have skills but get by and get tons of gigs only because they look good on a flyer. Or DJs like Samantha Ronson who have a decent amount of skill but are blown up like they have a ton of skill cause they are dating someone famous etc... It's time promoters & nightclubs started hiring DJs based on skill and not so much on who knows who or what they look like.

I mean really the songs are between 6 and 15 minutes long and most House DJs don't do much as far as quick mixing goes, they tend to let whole songs play through. Besides almost all the beats are within a small range of BPMs and are usually very simple drum patterns that all mix easily. If you'll notice her name is now TITTY T what was her DJ name before? No one knows and no one cares probably cause she wasn't that good. It was the gimmick of being topless that allowed her to get more gigs and make a TITTY name for herself. Hopefully with the new gigs also came a more experienced DJ so hopefully she actually is a good DJ. Of course she "didn't miss a beat", duh how often do electro DJs actually have to mix?
