1 today announced its second Under 18s DJ Search and Club Tour with
UKClubCulture.
听
The DJ search will commence with eight heats from 14
to 17 February and will take in eight clubs in eight places nationwide
- Newcastle, Basildon, Coventry, Bournemouth,
Swansea, Dundee, Maidstone and Jersey.
听
The two semi finals will take place on 22 and 29 March
in Romford and Rotherham respectively with the grand final
at the end of April.
2004 saw Radio 1 team up for the first time with UKClubCulture to host
its biggest ever off-air Under 18s DJ Search.
听
The response was huge and the quality of entrants extremely
high.
听
Both the overall winner Josh 'Rinse' Roberts
and the runner up Joey M have since received national TV, radio
and print recognition with gigs around the UK and abroad.
2005's Under 18s DJ Search promises to unearth more new young talent
across a wide musical spectrum, from hip hop to trance, RnB to alternative
and bhangra to pop.
听
The eight heats in February will each be hosted and
judged by a Radio 1 DJ including Tim Westwood, Dave Pearce,
Spoony and Judge Jules.
听
The overall winner will then spend two days at Radio
1 enjoying a master class with a Radio 1 DJ of their choice.
听
Entrants must be aged between 14 and 17 and will need
to enter before 31 January 2005.
Ian Parkinson, Radio 1's Head of Specialist & Speech, said: "The
Under 18s DJ Search is a great opportunity for our younger listeners
to be part of the clubbing experience with some of the UK's biggest
DJs.
听
"We were delighted with the results last year,
it shows just how much young talent there is out there who want a chance
to shine."
Tim Westwood added: "DJ'ing for young people is what it's all about,
the under 18s have a phenomenal energy and passion for music.
听
"Seeing the young kids DJ and start to make a living
is a great thing for me to see, it's inspirational."
