“The DJ Sessions” live streaming series heals community through music

USA, Seattle, WA – October 1, 2020 –Once again “The DJ Sessions” is making waves, sound waves that is, in the electronic music community. They were the first ever Twitch Featured Partner DJ Streaming series, the first to host “Safe Silent Disco” shows, and now the first ever series where you can “feel” the music with their new upgrade to “Silent Concerts”.

“The DJ Sessions” has combined their silent disco technology with a new product on the market called a Woojer Strap. This device plugs into the TDJS headsets and allows you to “feel” the bass from the music being played. In addition to that, when you change the channels on the TDJS “Silent Concert” headsets the “feeling” of the channel switches with you.

Darran Bruce, the Executive Producer of TDJS said, “One of the biggest things we hear is that people can’t “feel” the music like you can at a nightclub or concert…Well now you can…And you can also go up to 1000 feet away from our stage and still take the thump of the bass with you. This is a game changer in the silent shows realm.” The “Silent Concert” series is streamed live at local parks in the Seattle area every weekend. Visit their website to find the show locations and lineups: www.thedjsessions.com/events.

Providing a safe and positive way for people to collectively share a family-friendly music experience in person or online is one of the primary goals of TDJSES in a time when little to no public interactions are allowed and are not returning for the foreseeable future.

People that have come to take part in the series often comment on the rejuvenating effects they feel from being outside and sharing a musical experience with the community. Adding yoga, guided meditation, and other wellness activities are scheduled to be included in the “Silent Concert” series.

In addition to the “Silent Concert” series TDJS is launching a food and clothing drive starting in October called #BundleUpAndBoogie. People can donate non-perishable food items and/or clothing (hats, gloves, socks, coats) that will go to local area food banks and families in need. Giving back to the community is one of the core principles of TDJS and working alongside with their sponsors will help those in need in such perilous times.

“Social Distancing/Personal Safety”

The DJ Sessions Event Services is considered an “essential business/workforce” company by the Washington State Governor’s office under the “Communications” and “Community Based” sections of the WA State COVID-19 guidelines. Each of “The DJ Sessions” Silent Disco/Concert headsets are always sterilized before and at the end of every show.

Only one headset per customer is used and does not get recycled to another customer during the course of each show. TDJS provides sanitizing wipes, hand gel, and practices “personal/social distancing” at all times.

“The DJ Sessions” Launches the First Live Streaming Mobile Studio

USA, Seattle, WA – December 4th, 2019 – The DJ Sessions is a pioneer in live streaming, helping International DJs over the past 10 years find new ways to reach their fans outside of traditional “brick and mortar” venues. Now, on their 10th anniversary “The DJ Sessions” is excited to announce the launch of the first ever live streaming audio/visual studio.

Their broadcast vehicle, which is a custom glass box truck, with state of the art equipment, will feature local and international celebrity DJ’s, musicians, and taste makers. Booking has already begun for the largest electronic music events. “The DJ Sessions” plans to bring more female/non-binary DJs and events to the spotlight, with over 144 scheduled events in 2020.

Speaking to a reporter from Australia’s UnSeen TV, the CEO of “The DJ Sessions” Darran Bruce commented, “We have been able to produce over 1700 episodes of live recorded video streams since 2009 and this milestone achievement can only be attained by the diligent work put in by the entire crew at “The DJ Sessions”. We will continue to be the industry leader in helping to shape the US and international DJ industry with live streaming technology and do our best to maintain this status. “The DJ Sessions” is the future…and what we are seeing is only tip of the iceberg of what the future holds for us all.”

“The DJ Sessions” is a universe of its own; respected, admired and valued by DJ’s across the globe. Prior to the launch of their newest series known as, “The Freeway Sessions,” which is “the fastest moving show in electronic music”, the weekly broadcasts have been generating over 100 hours of content a month. An international DJ, Justin Murta from Seattle, WA shared, that the outlet has been instrumental in reaching both his local fans and international fans in South East Asia; the streaming service DJ Sessions provides is easily accessible anywhere in the world. “The DJ Sessions” is planning on expanding to other cities in the US based on the success of the platform in domestic and national markets. It is their overall goal of expanding this concept internationally.

When asked about his successful journey Darran Bruce fondly smiled and said, “My first success came with “Phantazmagoria” on FOX in 2002 and with “ITV” on NBC in 2005-09. These series featured independent artists and businesses. At one point, I felt the need to provide electronic music artists with a platform for media coverage in a way that no one had ever done. I launched “The DJ Sessions” in late 2009 and after years of planning, building, and testing the series, I secured the investment to build our unique mobile DJ studio, the TDJS Mobile Studio. We launched the concept at “PAX West” 2019 in Seattle, WA and tens of thousands witnessed dozens of DJs playing from our truck, streaming live to a global audience.”
