| 0:00.0 | Hello from the comfort of my room in Seattle. It's the K-E-XP Weekly Mix with me. Abby, |
| 0:07.8 | your overnight creature on Wednesday's 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. Pacific time. And I'm so excited to present |
| 0:15.3 | this mix to you inspired by a new documentary, underplayed. It's directed by Stacey Lee presenting a portrait of the current status of the gender, ethnic, and sexual equality issues in dance music today. And it features an amazing sample of women producers and DJs, including some of my favorite, Alison Wonderland, Seal, Chorrell, and an amazing pioneer, Suzanne Chiani. |

| 1:09.6 | And I hope to unveil more facts from underplayed and present to you |
