DJ talent wanted for Planet Dance

Event co-ordinator and critically acclaimed local trance DJ, Connor Quinn, is asking for any new DJs in the area to get in touch and get a demo in to the Planet Dance team as soon as possible.

“We are always on the lookout for new talent”, said Connor. “We give a fair hearing to every demo we get in. We make a point of putting the demos out among a number of our hardest but trusted critics, and the feedback is usually diverse, but it gives us snapshot of what’s hot and what’s not. If you think you have what it takes, then send us an email and we’ll give you a hearing.”

Planet Dance (PD) has been receiving critical acclaim for taking the bold step of showcasing new up-and-coming DJs from Northern Ireland. Bringing the very latest in commercial dance and electro as well as the harder styles of dance, PD will have something for everyone.

Connor gave us a taste of what’s to come. “Planet Dance gives the best of the new DJs a platform to showcase their talent, it’s that simple, he said.

“The dance scene hasn’t escaped the recession, the clubs aren’t as willing to put unknown DJs on the lists anymore, they are all playing it safe, and its stifling the talent.

“We want to give the young DJs a break, and get back to basics, get back to finding out what’s doing it in the dance scene now. These guys

aren’t being told by bar managers or accountants, what to play, to please aging clubbers; these guys are cutting edge, they are doing it

because they love it and the audiences are loving it too.”
