TWEED is about to become DJ central in a few months.
The southern Gold Coast’s
Twin Towns venue has secured the annual BeatMix convention, attracting more than 50 DJs from around Australia and overseas.
Local DJ and BeatMix board member
pushed for the Gold Coast to host the get-together, which gives DJs industry advice. He is hoping to keep it here long term. “We expect 50 or more DJs and MCs to attend. One (part) is open and the other is an all-day industry professional event (for) photographers, celebrants, coordinators and venues,” he says. “On the Monday night we are holding a DJ 101 for emerging DJs interested in getting started, or to improve their basic skills.
“Over the four days, BeatMix will provide something for everyone in the event industry.”
