Chase and Status.
Three young Derry DJs are to share stage with top dance acts Chase and Status, DJ Fresh and Sigma at the MTV Crashes gig being held in the city this weekend.
Fifteen year-old duo Callum Porter and Mark Kivelehan, and 22-year-old Erika Lauren, will have their dreams come true when they will play to 10,000 fans at Ebrington on Saturday night.
Erika is due to become a Bounce DJ mentor for the organisation’s forthcoming Girls Allowed Legacy project in schools across Derry.
Having DJ’d around the world including Ibiza, Britain, New Zealand, Asia and the Pacific islands, she has performed on the same bill as Calvin Harris, Eric Prydz and James Zabiela.
Aspiring house producers Callum and Kivelehan are already well known for their work with artists such as Dirtex and Kriv.
Other aspiring young DJs will also have the opportunity to work with some leading industry names on Saturday afternoon at a special Club MTV DJ school event taking place in the Music City Video dome.
The event, which will take place from 12 noon to 4.00pm, is aimed at 12 to 18-year-olds interested in the art of DJing, rapping and production – and Club MTV DJs will be dropping in on the day to check out some of the material being produced.
