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 ...

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 »
