A really great article by my Dubspot colleague the brilliant Raz Mesinai on sexism in the DJ/Producer world. It certainly is there. Raz gives some great historical context and mentions the amazing Delia Derbyshire, one of the giants in developing sampling and looping who is less known than she should be.
