Electronic Artist You'd Most Like To Put In Your... Y'Know

although they are undeniably "fit"

there is definitely a sort of realdoll i mean "uncanny valley" effect

oh mean i knew they were a little creepy but now i see evidence in the lower left that they're actually disguised reptilians

((also Jenkinsons, not Yorkes, in case that wasn't clear - Ceephax Acid Crew is hott. Andy Yorke is somehow taller, more chiselled, more symmetrical and has less terrible hair than his brother and oddly somehow not as sexy))

I don't know who this Richie Hawtin guy is but he's a good-looking dude I must say.

Richie Hawtin? OMG I know, right? Plastikman. Stupidly good looking.

I would totally go lesbian as all hell for Andy Jenkinson.

He's not the guy from Phish is he?

No, he's an ACEEEEEED DUDE. Squarepusher's little brother.

Putting the HAWT in Hawtin. Oh yeah.

Punch Bowl

Dairy Case

and DJ Andrea Rincon

No idea how good they actually are but they get hired a lot.

Completely agree on Nina Kraviz. She's really hot.

Nicolaas Jaar and Andy Barlow are good choices for me too.

Of the ones on the actual poll I don't really find any of them hot. Sorry.

Anyone fancy some Ed Rush? ;P

A few more:

Miss Nine (incredibly hot but she was actually a model before a dj, so...)

Hm. Can anyone spot the difference in presentation between the majority of the men and the majority of the women in this thread?

the girls arent ginger?

Yeah I know emil.y although in my defense 3 of the 4 girls I posted were first known for exposing their bodies and for their dj skills later.

Of the women the most discrete looking is Nina Kraviz and she's also the one with the best music of the bunch.

Andrea Rincon and Carla Miskov were even playmates. I don't really find them sexy to be honest.

Miss Nine and Nina Kraviz on the other hand are all around beautiful.

kraviz is fine tho i cannot picture her digging for shit on moldy basements

...vagina?

THIS is why I like E.MILY (part 1,257)

Men not sponsored by FHM.com.ph

to be fair there are plenty of female DJs known for being attractive, inc on this thread, who don't present themselves in FHM-style.

and tbh i wish nicolas jaar and ben klock would.

which reminds me, total approval for how d. lissvik presents himself. top 3 last.fm images!

I dunno, I'm having some trouble here?

Those Lissvik photos must be old, if iirc corectly he's around 35 now and he looks like 19 on those.

No, I kid. And I hear you.

But it's like, it bothers me. A lot. And don't want to have to have the conversation for the eight billionth time about how dicey unisex perve threads end up because FUCK THE MALE GAZE, FUCK IT IN THE EYEBALLS, WITH KNIVES. AND GUNS. AND IMPLEMENTS OF DESTRUCTION. And that gets me angry and I don't want to be angry when I'm still on a birthday high and Thom Yorke wore the red trousers again last night, and those red trousers are so tight he might as well be nekkid.

And I don't want to be heteronormative and scream "no naked girls on my beautiful thread!" And you know that I am the A+ number one fan of excellent women making excellent electronic music and if people posted pictures of Laurel Halo or Zavoloka or Stellar Om Source or Roisin Murphy or Grimes or Mira Calix with a room full of synths or up their knuckles in a laptop that would be awesome. But that "always with the half naked girls with their breasts on display" thing, it just pisses me off and then it pisses me off that I have to get pissed off about it and then I don't even fancy D Lissvik but I'm going to look at him naked just to feel like there's some tiny modicum of balance.

x-post or just get out the cheesecakey Thom Yorke photos. Sigh.

BELLY. ROWR.

I mean, I don't know what's going on in this photo, but I LIKE IT.

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/63680179/D+Lissvik+Dan.jpg

he's a bit diplo looking, no?

harvey's pretty primo for an old dude.

harvey looks like the dealer from withnail and i

Yeah he does look like Diplo. If he qualifies as an electronic artist might as well add him on the writeup votes.

I don't find Lissvik's face that attractive, (too square jawed, too symmetrical) but his blue tights are just beyond rowr.

Some day, SOME DAY, someone will discover ancient photos of Colin Greenwood in his bodystocking wearing eyeliner and the entire internet will explode.

Also, that photo of Thom in the swimming pool is reversed and it's really bugging me.

Why do I find asymmetry so ridiculously sexy in men? It's the same thing with Aphex Twin, it's the photos where his phace looks the most wonky that I find the most ridiculously hotttttt.

Speaking as a female I don't see what's so wrong about the semi-naked djs. They were playmates and they play for a specific niche. You'll have no trouble finding the other side of the spectre for men in gay clubs. eg (a quick google search for gay djs threw these photos on the top):

Sexploitation is inherent in club culture.

Moka, I'm not going to spam up this thread arguing with you, but if you want to take a look at any of the million threads about gender and gender presentation, and the dichotomy of "men act, women appear" and the Male Gaze, you will see that we have been through this a million times before.

Why is it that you have to GIS for "gay DJ" in order to find sexualised photos of men, while standard photos of female musicians are sexualised in a way that your "not specifically packaged for the gay scene" male musicians are just not? (See also: the assumption that sexualised men are "for the gay scene" and not for a female audience, because that's annoying, too.)

This isn't just about club culture, this is about *all* of culture and how women are generally automatically presented as sexually appealing in a really standardised way (and also a really impossible beauty standard) before anything, in a way that men just are not.

And a couple of shirtless photos of men does not redress that balance, because men are always given the *choice* of whether they want to portray themselves in a sexual light, in a way that women are pressured, both subtly and overtly, to do the FHM thing.

I'm so fucking tired of this argument, and look, here I am having it again. ARGH.

I completely understand the argument and I don't support it. But I'm not sure if sexism works in the club context. My point in here is that it really depends on what electronic scene we're talking about. On the minimal techno / IDM scene you'll hardly find a dj male or female that uses sex as a presentation card. In the dance / house club scene you'll find semi-naked men and women all of the time, all over the place. It's a scene fueled by looks and sex and if you frequented clubs at one point of your life you know exactly what I'm talking about. This isn't about war of the sexes.

The problem here is that we started comparing male IDM artists with house female djs, and I'm responsible for it. Female artists like Nina Kraviz, Andrea Parker, Grimes, Bjork and all of those you mentioned are much better fits and you wont see them using their bodies as marketing weapons.

I just can't do this any more.

L@@K!!! HERE IS A PICTURE OF THOM YORKE'S ERECTION!!!

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i67/soundship/album%202/mygod.jpg

LOOK AT IT!!! LOOK AT THAT YORKE BONER!!! L@@K AT IT!!!!!

Female artists like Nina Kraviz ... you wont see them using their bodies as marketing weapons.

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's not really the impression I get with Nina Kraviz.

Why not? In every photo I've seen of her she's always dressed very conservative, I don't think I've even seen her showing cleavage.

Well, she's definitely more sophisticated than that phwoar-look-at-my-tittays stuff upthread but she is definitely using her looks as a marketing thing in stuff like this...

If an artist dancing in his/her own music video is a symbol of sexploitation then I'm completely out of tune with you guys.

from very tail end of 2011 - its almost pastiche but i don't really mind
