Planet Angel - Live an Ordinary Life in an Extraordinary Way

As you know the music at Planet Angel is a very important element… over the years we’ve constantly reviewed and tweaked the music policy to make sure that the range of music suits the different environments we’re trying to create.  We’ve also tried to ensure that the quality of music is as good as it gets, both with live bands and DJs. On top of that, we’ve always pushed the boundaries a bit!

As you know one of Planet Angel’s aims is to help people achieve their aims and we’re pleased that just in the last year, we’ve offered 10 gigs to live bands (which is not as many as we’d like, but we’re working on that!) some of whom had never played publicly before. We’ve also offered gigs to over 60 different DJs, again, some of whom had never played out before!  We’re also pleased to note that we are one of the few events that ‘don’t’ ask DJs or bands to bring loads of people in order to get a gig!  Planet Angel’s selection process is simple… 1. are they like-minded? and 2. do they have they the skills to deliver the music we want?

The result, we hope you agree, is some of the best music around played by some of the best DJs and bands around – regardless of how ‘big’ they are.

Current Resident DJs: Dr. F, Nibbler and Sly One provide the foundations of the music policy, making sure they’re at each Party, setting the tone for the rooms and using their skills and experience to deliver brilliant sets that are right on the mark. With the help of Music Coordinator Rob Baggs, they’ve also helped many a new nervous DJ settle in and play out brilliantly: with none of the hierarchal attitude that often appears in the clubbing industry.

As you might expect, being a Resident DJ for Planet Angel is a bit different from being a resident of most other events! As part of the Music Team there are a lot of requirements on Residents, they need to know Planet Angel very very well not just musically, but also ethically, and it’s not just for the Party, there are other events like *Chilled* ROCKS! and New Year’s Eve. There are meetings to attend and behind the scenes stuff like reviewing demos and after the event feedback to post on the crew forum and lots more besides.

So, it didn’t take much for the Music Team to notice that two DJs stood out amongst the plethora of brilliant DJs that perform at Planet Angel. For two years they have proven to be ultra reliable in the quality of their sets, consistently playing sets that are perfectly tuned to the vibe and the spirit of Planet Angel. They’ve also been completely professional and are as like-minded as it gets!

So, despite a meeting to try to put them off, we are very pleased to announce that Jurrane and Ade Laugee have accepted an offer to become Planet Angel Resident DJs!

Both played fantastic sets at the last Party and we can be sure to hear more from them as they join the current Residents in ensuring that the music at Planet Angel remains the best we can get.

Welcome aboard guys! (Remember, you were warned!)
