Headph0ne Phet1sh is one of the stranger sites that we’ve come across recently. It’s a site devoted to “all manner of ladies wearing all kinds of headphones.”
They aren’t kidding, either. The site has collected hundreds, if not thousands of photos of woman in headphones. The site caters to all manners of headphone fetishists. Here’s a […]

 

Here’s the question of the day - why do synth ads have to suck?
Here’s how Korg sells synths:

Here how Jackson sells guitars….

Nothing against Moby, but axe-wielding über-babes beat bald-headed metrosexuals.
Even worse, it looks like Jenna Jameson could kick Moby’s ***.

 

The latest DJ in our series of Chicks that Mix is 23-year-old Montreal native Vivie-Ann.
Vivie-Ann says her sets cover everything house with a hint of ping or pong – anything that makes hands fly in the air. When asked to describe her sound, Vivie-Ann says it’s “bump in the night with a little dynamite,” adding […]

DJ/Producer Benny Benassi’s latest video, for his track Who’s Your Daddy?, sexes things up just a bit. It’s a provocative (or just sexist, depending on your viewpoint) tribute to 70’s adult films.
Definitely not safe for work!
Note: If you’re offended by the sight of gyrating naked supermodels, a censored version is also available.

Image Line Software, the creators of software such as FL Studio / Fruityloops, has been running this ad to promote its latest release, Deckadance. Deckadance is a new DJ mixing application.
We’re not sure, but this may rank as even more offensive than the ads that amp makers put in guitar magazines. If I were female, […]

We don’t know why, but Synthtopia is the top site in the world for the search phrase topless DJ.
We’re not sure if it was the story on “Erotic Fetish DJ Extraordinaire” Portia Surreal, the story on pornstar-turned-topless-dj DJ Niki Belucci, or the one about DJ Diva, the topless skydiving DJ, but somehow has Google pegged […]

 

When we first found Portia Surreal, the topless DJ, we thought that she was an anomaly. Surreal’s background is in the underground fetish and goth scenes, and she bills herself as an erotic fetish dj extraordinaire.
When DJ Diva came to our attention, it was clear that Surreal wasn’t spinning topless along. Diva may have topped […]

 


Paul Oakenfold - A Lively Mind

The first single from Paul Oakenfold’s latest CD A Lively Mind, Faster Kill Pussycat, featuring Brittany Murphy on vocals, is scorching hot. It puts Murphy’s sexy vocals on top of a great electro beat.
Unfortunately, the rest of the CD doesn’t come close to rising up to the level of the first track. Oakenfold brings in […]

 

DJ Diva joins DJ Portial Surreal on the short list of topless DJs. She’s probably the only topless skydiving DJ, though!
She started her career in 2002, taking a training course at the Dutch DJ school in amsterdam. At her first gig, it was very hot and several women were topless, so she took her top […]

 

Stronger is a polished set of dance/trance tunes from the divalicious Kate Ryan. If this set doesn’t breathe some life into the vocal trance genre, the category may need defibrillation!
Stronger has everything going for it. The tracks are well-crafted trance/dance tracks with more hooks than a bait shop.  Ryan’s got a strong voice and model good looks.  […]

 

Babes, guns and MP3s appear to be a winning combination for British audiobook publisher AudioBooksForFree. They are using “a winning trio of Russian glamour models” to market their unusual AK-MP3, a portable MP3 player build into the ammunition clip of a Kalashnikov automatic rifle.
According to ex-rock-star-turn-advertising-tycoon Andrey Koltakov, “100 top Russian models competed in a […]
