Andrea Parker- I Still Hate Electroclash
Purist electro-techno UK star Andrea Parker chatted to Skrufff this week about her
upcoming sponsored hike up Kenya's 5,500 metre high Mount Kilimanjaro and revealed
that, despite her charitable inclinations, she remains fiercely unforgiving about
electroclash.
"I absolutely hate electroclash with a passion, I can't stand it," she stormed, "I
used to be a proper B girl back in the day with all the breaking crews and this
electroclash nonsense has almost taken over."
"I'm in more of a purist electro scene, I don't like all the poppy electro at all, "
Andrea explained, "Electro has always been so underground and that's been one of the
main things I've always liked about it, there's not that many people into it, just
small pockets around the world," she said.
The cheerfully outspoken South Londoner, however, was keen to correct a story from
two years ago saying she wanted to thump Fischerspooner frontman Casey Spooner, and
categorically denied telling DJ magazine she 'just wanted to punch his fuking eyes
out'.
"I didn't actually say I'd punch his fuking eyes out," Andrea insisted, "I said
I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than listen to that song Emerge."
Andrea will be climbing the 19,343 feet mountain Kilimanjaro this October, raising
