x said phantom plays some excellent music including some excellent electronic music.#

granted some of the presenters may be a bit dodgy but they do play som good music which you wont hear on any other daytime radio station.

as a person who is into both indie and electronic music i would fin the people who are in the electronic scene have thier heads up thir own hole

And her newspaper column in the Indo Friday ents section is woeful too. Sorry, but I’ll never forgive for the time she slated the entire spectrum of electronic music as shite/drugs music/faceless/etc. Typical indie snobbishness and a complete over simplification of a genre (this would be akin to someone saying on residentadvisor that all guitar music is crap because of hearing someone like Bryan Adams). Sorry Edel but I cant take anything you say seriously after that particular article.

Ah it’s a real shame, I love the show.

Adam, she’s going to write for the Indo.

Pity! She was one of the few DJs that kind of half supported Irish unsigned music and interviewed completely unknown bands. She also played Battles a fair bit! Will be interesting to see who will take her slot..
