In a recent joint interview at the Amsterdam Dance Event, techno superstars Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte urged fans to stop pitting female DJs against each other.
Before the pair’s first-ever collaborative performance, they sat down for an intimate interview in a panel at ADE, the world’s preeminent electronic music summit. Amidst lighthearted anecdotes and musings about the state of today’s music industry, Lens and de Witte opened up about the pitfalls of female DJs and asked fans not to compare them.
“It’s so emotionally, creatively draining,” Lens said before noting that male artists rarely face the same issue. “Honestly, no one is ever saying, ‘AIROD is better than Farrago. It’s typical for female DJs. So just stop it please.”
After expressing her agreement, de Witte chimed in with some words of encouragement for female DJs and producers facing the proverbial jury.
“We are not against each other—we are with each other,” she asserted. “We are the sisterhood. We support each other.”
