World AIDS Day: MMM/Peaches

From www.dazeddigital.com at 01/12/11 11:01 AM. 0 comments.

Maison Martin Margiela photographed friends and family, including Peaches - seen here exclusively on Dazed Digital - in support of the fight against HIV

The World AIDS Day has been around since 1988, the illness a lot longer than that. Today offers the world a chance to stand up and unite with the estimated 33.3 million people worldwide that suffer from HIV. There are plenty of ways doing it; raising money, spreading awareness, helping out, supporting the suffering and their families. Belgian brand Maison Martin Margiela has for years been involved in the fight through their own very unique way.

Why are there no female DJs on DJ Mag's top 100 list?

From www.guardian.co.uk at 28/10/11 01:44 PM. 0 comments.

As a female DJ I've had guys telling me how to use the decks and even changing the speed of my records for me â€' so perhaps it's no surprise we've been left out of a list of the best DJs ...

Clicking through DJ Mag's newly published list of top 100 DJs, it's easy to spot the one thing missing: women. Revered in the clubbing industry as the "black book" for DJs, producers and promoters, the list is voted for by the public every year. Between 2007 and 2011 just one girl, Claudia Cazacu, scraped on to the list, charting at number 93 in 2010. Not even Annie Mac â€' who hosts three shows on Radio 1, DJs regularly at Fabric and whose Annie Mac Presents mixtape is No 1 in the electronic charts â€' gets a look in. It's clearly a bone of contention with some women in the business â€' Peaches, the Berlin DJ/producer posted "DJ MAG! Your Top 100 DJ boy club list can eat a dick! Where the ladies at???" on her Facebook page in a fit of frustration after the list was published.

For the last 10 years, my main source of income has been from DJing. It's taken me around the world, from dive bars in Krakow where the kids went wild when I played Nirvana to glitzy fashion parties in New York where Grace Jones serenaded me with

20 Q&As: Peaches

From www.dazeddigital.com at 28/09/11 09:13 AM. 0 comments.

In Dazed's 20th-anniversary issue, we interviewed the renegade musician about breaking down barriers in the industry and maintaining longevity whilst remaining provocative

When Merrill Beth Nisker burst onto the stage as Peaches at the turn of the new millennium, pubic hair curling out of her lurid pink hot pants and encouraging everyone to “fuck the pain away”, it was nothing short of a revelation. Her stripped-back electronic beats were seedier than a Soho sex shop and her live show rocked harder than any cookie-cutter beefcake with a guitar – this was party music for the outsider generation.

It wasn’t just shock factor sex appeal that Peaches exuded like sweat, she addressed gender politics – wiggling her lady parts at the boundaries between cocks and crotches – and, most importantly, she was doing it by hersel... article continues »

Diane Von Furstenberg Womenswear S/S12

From www.dazeddigital.com at 12/09/11 10:09 AM. 0 comments.

Entitled 'Beginnings', the new collection was based around turquoise and earthy brown colour combinations whilst her signature prints also reared their graphic heads

Wearing a brooch with two American flags, Diane Von Furstenberg, backstage as per usual, drew and wrote down the message on a bit of cardboard before her show. 'Be Strong, Be Beautiful, Be YOU', her message said, with a smiley at the bottom. It's difficult not to be mesmerised by the legendary designer when spending time with her ahead another of her catwalk collections. For Spring Summer 2012, the 'Beginnings' collection boasted stunning colour combinations through beige garments with turquoise details. Earthy brown shades shared the stage with strong peaches and electric blues. As expected there were plenty of larger-than-life prints, either on the abstract side or of a floral nature.
