Million DJ March Founder Clears Up Rumors

[Mumbo Sauce]

In a major show of support, DC's Special Parks Services and Parks Rangers have extended the permits to The Million DJ March to include evening and night time activities, including live performances and speeches, meaning that the March and it's various forums can go for an estimated 48 straight hours. This has enabled everything planned to fit into two days instead of the original three- August 29th and 30th. The experience that Parks Services and Homeland Security has with these types of events ensures the safety of everyone attending and the shortening of the event itself will enable those who may be experiencing economic woes to attend and experience the event in its entirety.

Despite the positive intentions behind The Million DJ March, many websites and community forums have sprung up since its announcement, both generating false rumors regarding the purpose of the March and erroneously soliciting funds. The message behind the March is getting distorted and its founders felt it was time to address this issue. "MDJMarch is not a record pool," iterates March founder A. Shaw (pictured above with Parks Service and Rangers), " We have no opinions that would hamper our relationships with labels or artists. We simply feel that the DJ community needs to come together and unite, for the betterment of all."

Carolina's DJ Chuck T adds, " I personally feel that the DJ community is in desperate need of a facelift right now. The Million DJ March is an event that DJ's from around the world should attend. The key to getting our voices heard is to unite and show solidarity."

The intentions behind the March are definitely to educate its attendees on how to better handle the business of deejaying. The role of the DJ has expanded from just being on the radio and hosting parties and shows, to working in television, touring with artists and disseminating music, digitally and through mixtapes. Those seeking information on how to go about expanding their craft, or those that are looking to get started, will hear how it is done from the best doing it today.

Some of the legal issues that currently surround the digital music arena will also be addressed during the March's activities. " It is the marketing personnel who should regulate who and how promotional MP3's are distributed to those they are close with to prevent leakage." says A. Shaw. "If more accapellas and instrumentals were given to DJ's we would hear more creative ways of giving songs an extended life while creating a stronger demand for the original 'radio' version. Hip Hop especially was built around this concept."
