Fly DJs are about to take off!
 Media release Friday October 7, 2005. FlyDjs are about to take off! ~Who are we?~ FlyDjs is a community of all-girl DJs based in Kelowna BC. Our goal is to offer a friendly & supportive platform for any female DJ, DJ-to-be, MC, vocalist, or live performer willing to share and enjoy their music where gender is not an issue. We are not feminists and we are not anti-male. We are simply a group of Valley girls who are DJs or would like to be. ~Who is involved?~ JGirl is Jenn, a hyperactive socialite who was born and raised in Montreal's lavish nightlife scene. Jenn and her husband have made a permanent move to sunshiny Kelowna. Amanda Rude, a Nelson native, is also new in town but she is not new to the Kelowna DJing community. Together and individually, both JGirl and Amanda Rude have had regular DJing appearances all over the BC Interior's scene at events like outdoor shows, life & art festivals like Duotone Arts, fashion shows, the Radgalz 1st annual wakeboard competition, private events at restaurants, and club nights such as Higher Ground. Other ladies participating in the FlyDjs crew include Natty Dread, vocalist Laura, who is currently studying music and voice training in Nelson, BC, and our Vancouver-based Kelowna diva Miss Myte. ~What are we up to?~ FlyDjs is creating community! DJing is a fantastic way to express yourself creatively while making a musical atmosphere. The FlyDjs team is happy to offer the basics about DJing to any beginner wanting to learn the basic skills. Also, we look forward to meeting those intermediates curious to share their skills and maybe practice a little more. And finally, as DJs, we would like to get together regularly and spin records, share ideas, learn new skills, work on a mix, work on a bio, and talk about music and DJing and stuff and stuff. Do you DJ? Do you sign? Do you dance? Do you design? Are you an artist? Want to get involved? Email us [email protected] ! We want to meet you! ~Upcoming activities~ DJ Basix & Open Dex! …is taking place every Thursday until December 15th, 2005. The first part of the evening is called DJ Basix and is designed for learning. Although there are plenty of online resources for DJing and tips we believe that a hands-on approach is best! We will focus on the basics to get you started as a DJ. The second part of the night is called Open Dex and is about practice and playtime, noodlings, and DJing. ->DJ Basix - The basics will be offered in 3 x 1-hour lessons. This will take place on Thursdays from 8-9PM. Session I begins on Oct 13 th, session II begins on Nov 3rd, and session III begins on Nov 24th. DJ Basix are $free$ for these first three sessions and will take place at JGirl & Manousos' home 'studio' and are hosted by JGirl and Amanda Rude. Spaces are limited for your learning pleasure. Send an email to reserve your spot! [email protected] ->Open Dex – The decks are open every Thursday from 9PM to 11PM at JGirl & Manousos' home 'studio. If you want to come and jam with us, you can!

Right now, we are not charging for these lessons. The first three sessions are FREE! This will change in 2006 so we recommend taking advantage of these free lessons now. Sign up soon as spaces are limited! I'm not sure if DJing is for me, can I stop by just to check it out? You sure can! Stop by for Open Dex to see what it's all about! I don't own records but I do want to learn how to DJ. Can I do this? Sign up anyways! If you are willing to learn, we are willing to share! Most start DJing with other people's records and with 2nd hand records collected from friends. There are many sources for buying affordable 2nd hand records and we can show you where to start looking! What if I don't own any turntables but I do have records. Can I participate? Show up anyway! Most start DJing by playing around with other people's equipment. If you are already DJing and don't have equipment to practice on, join us for Open Dex! We would love to meet you! Can I come to DJ Basix & Open Dex if I wear a skirt/wig? Sure you can but you better convince us that you are a girl! -30- For information contact: Jennifer Goulet Aka JGirl PR Contact Jgirl @ flydjs dot biz Amanda Klassen aka Amanda Rude amandarude @ flydjs dot biz FlyDjs – [email protected] - www.flydjs.biz Last edited by amanda rude; Oct 07, 05 at 09:32 PM.
