DJ big band
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A DJ big band is a large musical ensemble made of a large number of DJ's. Some of them will play the rhythm, others the melody.
The first and still only known DJ big band is DJ Grazzhoppa's DJ big band formed in 2003. In the first version of that band, they were 6 DJ's and a saxophonist (Fabrizio Cassol), a production of arts centre nOna (from Mechelen, Belgium) in co-operation with arts centres Vooruit (Ghent, Belgium) and Villanella (Antwerp, Belgium).
On January 27, 2005, they played La Monnaie, Brussels with 12 DJ's plus Fabrizio Cassol and singer Monique Harcum, former member of Zap Mama and wife of Brugge-born DJ Grazzhoppa. The project is supported by Vizual Vectorz which takes care of the visual aspect of the show. Arts centre nOna prepared an international tour of DJ Grazzhoppa's DJ Big Band & Vizual Vectorz including shows at the Roskilde Festival (Denmark) and Nazomerfestival (The Netherlands).
