1. DJ Dimsa – Living Lounge
DJ Dimsa places himself as a unique phenomenon representing a very new direction in international DJing, as represented in his Living Lounge show. He poses the questions: Bedroom DJ or Professional? Lounge or Deep House DJ? A pioneer of the Internet DJ or a leader for the new breed of Social Media DJs? And provides the answer: All of the above and none of them at the same time. DJ Dimsa distinguishes himself from DJs who specialise in one sound, he takes the road less travelled and leverages his almost 30 years of musical background to create an eclectic experience. Dimsa is an Original Lounge Crusader. He has a mission, the LOUNGE mission: to share his moods, whether it’s a beachside cafe or cluster of poolside cabanas in Mallorca, Spain or an ultra-chic and hip lounge in the Bay Area around San Francisco.
