What Was That You Said About Old Dogs?
Like many contemporary dance DJs, British DJ Mamy Rock (aka Ruth Flowers) sprinkles sets of contemporary electrodance tunes with a little vintage flavor, layering in tunes from sources like ABBA and the Rolling Stones. Unlike most of her DJ peers, she was already an adult when those songs came out. Flowers first became interested in DJing when already in her 60s after a birthday party for her grandson. Now nearly 70, she has become quite in demand on the European club scene, with trademark rhinestone-studded headphones and big sunglasses. She says that although she initally puzzles many people, she's been largely very well supported by her younger peers, several of whom she credits with helping her build her skills.
Oh brave new world, that has such people in it!
