TedxBrickLane - Redefining the DJ’ - 29.03.12

TEDxBrickLane is a non-profit event looking at 'Redefining the DJ’. The event is being held on Thursday 29th March 2012 from 18.00-23.00

The aim of TEDx Brick Lane is to readdress the common conceptions of the ‘Disc Jockey’ - including where this term originated, how it has changed and developed in recent decades, why the DJ plays an increasingly more prominent role in society and the stamp that DJs have made on popular culture in general. Helping us explore these ideas is a collaboration of people with an expert knowledge and passion for music, made up not only of DJs themselves, but also music producers and academics, instrument designers and music entrepreneurs.

Venue: Vibe Bar Old Truman Brewery 91 - 95 Brick Lane E1 6QL London
Time: 18.00-23.00
Ticket: pre-registered event see website for more info
