We’re pleased to announce “The Debutants’ slot in the Chill Bar; a new regular slot offering even more ways for people to get involved... Resident DJ Sly One explains... “Planet Angel has always wanted help people be creative and get involved but when you see people DJing who’ve put years of practice and experience into what they do, it can seem like it’s something you could never do yourself... We aim to break down those barriers by offering free training and a DJ set where there's someone there while they play to answer questions, help out and generally come to the rescue if required.” At the last Party we we’re pleased to have offered Lauren the first DJ slot in the Chill Bar. Lauren – who’s more used to helping run things back at Planet Angel HQ – had never DJ’d out before, that was her first public performance and ‘the girl done good’! In Lauren’s words... "I've always loved making playlists and I’ve got a real passion for music, I’ve just never had the opportunity to learn as I didn't have decks and its quite an expensive thing to fork out for if you don't definitely know its for you. That’s why when Planet Angel presented me with this opportunity I thought it was a great idea! It’s the perfect place to try it out, and the DJ's really help you out and make you feel comfortable. I was really nervous at first, but having someone there with you makes that feeling disappear, and the adrenaline takes over and you have a brilliant time! I really enjoyed myself and I’d definitely do it again. I now have a new hobby!" So if you've got a taste for playing the right tune at the right time and love the idea of playing in the Chill Bar, all it takes is to get us a CD with the kind of tunes you intend to play. You don't have to mix it or perform it in any way, just burn a CD and we'll take you from there!" NB the name gives a big clue to the kind of music we’re looking for in the Chill Bar, but for a more detailed explanation please see the “Getting Involved” section here. |
