Background: A disc jockey, often abbreviated as DJ, is a person who plays existing recorded music for a live audience.

The title "DJ" is commonly used by DJs in front of their real names or adopted pseudonyms or stage names.

In 2007 Mark Katz's article "Men, Women, and Turntables: Gender and the DJ Battle," stated that "very few women [do turntablism] battle[s]; the matter has been a topic of conversation among hip-hop DJs for years." In 2010 Rebekah Farrugia states "the male-centricity of EDM culture" contributes to "a marginalisation of women in these [EDM] spaces."
