THE TOP 100 FEMALE DJs

In true Shejay style, the website is going where no one else has gone before with the launch of the
TOP 100 FEMALE DJs list.

“Despite ever-growing demand for female DJs, they continue to be a under-represented in industry competitions and press, which we feel is not a true reflection of the wealth of talent existing in the industry that is female.”

The TOP 100 FEMALE DJs is Shejay’s response to the age old misconception that there aren’t as many quality female DJs in the industry. “We happen to know that there are many and so do our 200,000 monthly visitors — Shejay plays hostess to over 750 women DJs on its website alone with more joining every day. There are thousands more where that came from, rocking the clubs each weekend.”.. Read more

But this project my friends, falls sharply off the cliff, and the parachute backpack never opens. Attempting to create a piano house filtered funky floor mover, the tune simply lacks the infectious energy of previous efforts. Perhaps it is this reviewer’s familiarity with Hott 22′s resume of hits, but this tune just doesn’t stand proudly amongst the crowd. Perhaps it was label pressure and an unwelcome project due date… Read more
