RED BANK, NJ - March 24, 2000 - The long-awaited launch last week at the International DJ Expo in Atlantic City of DJCentral.com culminates five months of hard work and attention to the details of creating a web site of unparalleled ease and sophistication.
"We've launched all major features of the site," says Joe Danziger, president and CTO. "We've also redesigned our home page and navigation as part of the launch. Now we are looking for beta testers to archive DJ sets and broadcast live on the Internet. All they have to do is register for free at our web site."
The incredibly user friendly web site provides a self-service environment for DJs/artists, promoters and booking agents to have their own Internet site without the hassle of having to design and install one. All of the information and tools they need are available through one central place. It's as easy as typing www.djcentral.com.
Each DJ gets a home page, e-mail, mailing list, chat room, booking system and a calendar where he or she can list their upcoming events. "They can also upload original MP3s and list their all-time top 10 songs," explained Ayal Horovits, vice president of marketing.
In addition, promoters can list their events, upload a flyer, and input all the information about the event, such as location, time, directions, etc. on the web page. "They can also list all of the DJs that are playing in each arena and sell tickets for the event. Booking agents can include information about their agency on the site and list their entire line-up. Promoters who would like to book a DJ can fill out an electronic form and submit it to the agent.
In the near future, the promoter will be able to pay the booking agent on line. "We're working to take this industry to the next level," says Mike Manion, CEO of DJ Central. "The Internet has opened up new possibilities and we're putting the technology in the hands of everybody."
There are over 50 genres of electronic music on the site and each genre has a featured artist or DJ. For more information, visit the site at http://www.djcentral.com. DJs interested in the beta program can send email to beta@djcentral.com.
