In its bid to always be at the forefront of what is up and coming, mobile broadband Tattoo launches Trend Talks.
The first edition of Trend Talks happens today, May 30, at the grand ballroom of Solaire Resort & Casino. Tickets to the event are available at P2,500 through TicketWorld. A ticket gives you exclusive access to Tattoo’s Trend Talks and Armin van Buuren’s Armin Only “Intense” concert, to be held tonight at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
On its first run, Trend Talks will delve deep into the evolution of dance music in the Philippines.
DJ Mars Miranda, one of the speakers, said that things are very different now compared to the past.
“When I was starting out, I used to buy records and a special machine that allowed me to spin. Now, even ‘weekend’ DJs can download tracks and use machines that are far less expensive,” he pointed out.
With the rise of such genres as electronic dance music (EDM) and other types of sounds from the underground scenes, these new types of mixes are now a popular style of contemporary music derived from various inspirations.
“The best musical events that Tattoo has thrown over the past years are the perfect venue for Tattoo subscribers to express their passion. Alongside the launch of our new product GoSURF with Spotify, we believe that music is the most engaging and stimulating of topics,” said Dong Ronquillo, Globe VP for Tattoo nomadic broadband business.
A passion for sound
Instead of going the traditional route, Trend Talks will be equal parts talk and music. Not only will the headliners discuss the latest in dance music, they will also treat the crowd with special sets showcasing their own brand of sound.
Leading the roster of speakers is five-time top DJ in the world, Armin van Buuren.
Van Buuren, who will be headlining a concert tonight, will be sharing his insights and international view on the evolution of dance music, particularly in the progressive trance and uplifting trance genres.
Miranda and event promoter Stephen Ku will take on the business side of music.
They will expound on their own experiences in their chosen careers, which aspiring musicians and producers, as well as entrepreneurs, can use as inspiration to succeed in the music business.
Invited speakers for Trend Talks will also have their own Spotify playlist that the audience can view and follow.
