Dancefair Utrecht
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the day began for me today. The goal was the city of Utrecht, where I visited the music trade fair of the electronic dance music in Holland. Waited a long queue in front of the entrance and looked forward to an organized day with many opportunities to learn things about electronic dance music. From the beginner to the professional club DJ producers were all on-site. The intention was to impart knowledge and to learn from each other. I have met many people who, like me, took a long way back, to establish new contacts and to obtain feedback on their tracks. The demo drop sessions offered the direct contact with label owners and artists who are under contract to receive feedback. The feedback was very authentic and gave a different perspective on the own-produced music. A further offer were the master classes, in which many electronic subgenres representatives presented the visitors their work. There are many tips that they gave to the visitors. At the end of the event, because of the 15 year anniversary of the Armada Music Armin Van Buuren trance legend was interviewed. The Interview offered an inspiring insight behind the person of Armin Van Buuren, that he shared with the audience. Instead of glorify himself as a star or icon, according to Armin Van Buuren he showed how self-critcial he can be. The spectators to illustrate its operation, he described his production career as a kind of “suffering”. The Production was a fight with the own critics ever anew for him. The core part of his DJ style is the interaction with the audience. Instead of concepts from other artists to criticize, Armin Van Buuren property remained resistant and turned its attention to its own concept. The primary goal of the artist should be to offer the audience a great show. How to find the place, lying alone on him. It was a very eventful day of which I could experienced much. If you like to work in the music business, I can recommend to use this chance. The pictures of the day are to find in this thread. Thank you dance fair 2018!
