We’re giving up and coming DJs a chance to showcase their talent every Friday in South Shields
An events company is putting local DJs in the spotlight.
Residence, which is run by James Fulton, has teamed up with Industry, on Ocean Road, to give up and coming DJs from across the North East the chance to showcase their talent.
Having originally being a member of the British Army’s Coldstream Guards, James started DH lessons around three years ago and has since gone to hold events in Ibiza.
James has told the Shields Gazette what people can expect every week from Residence at Industry.
He said: “Every Friday Residence is taking over Industry for a multi-genre night so we’ve got loads of local DJs and some headline acts booked in.
“There is nothing like this happening in South Shields or I think Newcastle or Sunderland really.
“All these DJs are all local and Residence has given a platform for all these guys to showcase their skills.
“They’ve all got different genres under their belt, they all like different music and that’s what Residence is about - bringing everybody together whether it be DJs, dancers, promoters, videographers.
“We just want everybody to get involved in it.
“So basically bring your best dancing shoes down, we start at 12am and finish at 4am.”
James has also gave an insight into where he wants to take Residence in the future and revealed that the events company will be hosting the first dance tent at an upcoming South Tyneside festival.
He added: “I want to make it massive, I want a big events park with loads of DJs and tents in - that’s the big future that I want for it.
“In the meantime though we’ve got Residence at Industry, we’re doing a little festival for Rosiefest where will be doing the first dance tent there.
“If anyone is a local DJ who wants to get involved, then just give us a message.”
