This is sound from just her microphone. In her defense, I bet there are plenty of people in the industry who also sound like that when dancing on stage. It's probably not a good gauge of her voice.
Not sure if anyone will appreciate this as much as I do. Here's an interview with Derrick May, the creator of the seminal dance classic Strings of Life. Released in 1987 you could still play it on a dance floor today. In fact, it's still being remixed to this day. It's amazing how humble he is about his creation.
Here's the full version of the track. It's still one of my favourite tracks.
Delia Derbyshire is responsible for creating the Doctor Who theme tune but she's also responsible for creating an electronic track in 1969 that's way before it's time.
Just today I listened to all 3 parts of the BBC Radio series 'The Definitive History of UK Dance Music' which went back to the early 1960's, but it wasn't until the late 1980's that music like Delia's track appeared. [via]

A home-made mixing deck, created by the worlds first disc jockey is set to go under the hammer in Boston.
Ron Diggins, who died last year at the age of 90, has been dubbed as the worlds first disc-jockey by DJ Magazine.
He created the mixing deck out of coffin wood.
It was the first mobile disco that used a 25-watt amp and a wind-up gramophone playing 78s on two turntables to entertain Land Army girls and Italian POWs at a village hall in 1947.
The equipment named Diggola is expected to rake in thousands of pounds at a sale. Link

This is what us Welsh get up to on a Friday night. If you're interested, the song is the 2008 remix of Utah Saint's 1992 track Something Good. [via]
Thomas Edison has long been considered the father of sound but a recording from 1860 has been demonstrated that features a woman singing.
Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville's 1860 phonautogram was made 17 years before Edison received a patent for the phonograph and 28 years before an Edison associate captured a snippet of a Handel oratorio on a wax cylinder, a recording that until now was widely regarded by experts as the oldest that could be played back.
The recording will be presented on Friday along with recordings made in 1853 and 1854. Those first experiments included attempts to capture the sounds of a human voice and a guitar, but Scott’s machine was at that time imperfectly calibrated.
The New York Times has the 1860 recording.
