Joint Interview at ADE
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 their 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.
Emotional Toll
“It’s so emotionally, creatively draining,” Lens said, highlighting the disparity in treatment between male and female artists. “Honestly, no one is ever saying, ‘AIROD is better than Farrago.’ It’s a common phenomenon for female DJs. So just stop it, please.”

Agreeing with Lens, de Witte added words of encouragement for female DJs and producers facing scrutiny. “We are not against each other—we are with each other,” she asserted. “We are the sisterhood. We support each other.”
