His brand is one of the most influential in Britain's youth music market, able to sell out the 2400 capacity of London's newest superclub Matter. Britain's the Times newspaper wrote about Callum Negus-Fancey recently, "It’s about his access to today’s youth market — his database runs to 40,000 mobile numbers and hundreds of thousands of e-mail addresses. He has the wants and needs of a generation sewn up — invaluable to brands and marketers alike."

| Beatportal’s IMS 2009 live blog agenda Posted: 26 May 2009 04:36 PM PDT In 12 hours time Ibiza's International Music Summit (IMS) will kick off and Beatportal's live blog broadcast will provide complete coverage from the exclusive dance music conference, dubbed "the G8 of dance music conferences". The second annual IMS event promises to be a spectacular offering of dance music discourse, as managers, label owners, agents, and figures behind some of the most prominent brands and names in dance music debate and discuss some of the most complex issues facing our scene today. The IMS is a closed door event, with only 400 delegates invited, representing some of the dance music industry's most important decision makers. Beatportal's on-the-scene coverage will allow the dance music community worldwide to tune in and interact with the panelists in real time. With second-by-second updates from guest blogger Tom Middleton and interactive polls allowing Beatportal users to get involved directly with the panels, our IMS 2009 live blog will be the only channel to tune in to for the next three days. The full agenda for our IMS 2009 live blog coverage is after the jump. |
| Dance music singers should be seen and heard Posted: 25 May 2009 06:00 AM PDT Barbara Tucker, Michelle Weeks, Kenny Bobien and other famous house music vocalists appeared on stage at Britain's Southport Weekender last weekend. They weren't on the bill. They weren't invited. They weren't even real. But "if you weren't paying attention, you would have sworn they were actually there in person," says US DJ Kerri Chandler, who conjured up the apparitions in the middle of his set. Kerri Chandler believes singers should be seen and heard. He feels so strongly about this, that he built a system that enables him to project singing and dancing 3D holograms of the vocalists behind the tracks in his collection, as he plays them in clubs. He hopes that by taking the spotlight away from the DJ booth and shining it onto the vocalists, their efforts and talent will be recognised. |
