DJ Expo Artist Panel. (l–r): Chris Willis, Jessica Jarrell,

What A Great Time
Wow, now that was a networking event!  The Promo Only Summer Sessions took place in Atlantic City from August 16 to 18 and was a major success.  The events kicked off a day early on Sunday with a party thrown by  ILL Miss Musick’s Candi Lynn for the release of her new single, “Hop’ N Pop’ N.” A lot of the mix show and radio programmers came out to support.  Needless to say, everyone had a fantastic time as the sights and sounds were incredible. 

Monday was the first official function of the Summer Sessions.  The day kicked off with a breakfast for the dance radio programmers that was sponsored by Promo Only. After that, it was time for the internet radio panel, co-moderated by Will Calder (iParty & 92.3 Now-FM in NYC) and myself.  Panelists included: Jeff Z (Goom Radio), Manny Esparza (Fusion Radio Chicago), Mike Oaks (Energy 98), Thomas Chau (AOL Radio) and Tony Crisp (1Dance.FM).  The discussion covered everything from branding to the royalty issues that are the black cloud hanging over this medias head.  What we thought would be a soft launch to the Summer sessions, since a lot of people were due to arrive on Monday, turned into a panel with 400% of the expected turnout.  Not a bad start! 

Since it was the day that most people were coming into Atlantic City, there wasn’t anything else scheduled until that evenings networking cocktail party.  This year the cocktail party was broadcast on Sirius XM’s BPM as Cato K, DJ Leony, Riddler, Flipside & Johnny Budz were in the mix live.  In one room of the party you had video interviews being taped, in another artists and celebrities were being interviewed live on BPM but the real show was watching all the people doing what you rarely see in the dance industry anymore, pure networking.   

Sometimes, ok for us industry people most times, a 4 hour cocktail party just isn’t enough!  That’s when Sea To Sun’s Sylvia Tosun and Anton Bass came to the rescue and hosted a brilliant soiree in Cary Vance's suite.  Not sure how many people actually stuffed themselves into the large suite but when you see people sprawled out in the hallway near the entrance you know it was a good time.  

Tuesday was the day when you barely had time to breathe.  It kicked off with the Promo Only sponsored Mix Show breakfast.  A great opportunity for the Dance/Rhythmic/Pop mix show djs to get together and see what’s going on across the country with their peers.  After the breakfast was over, the artists that were in town were invited to come in and met the guys that are the unsung heroes of our industry. 

Everybody was then let into the meeting room where they were treated to a performance by Kerima who performed her dance hit, "This Night."  After the performance, it was time for the first panel of the day, the mix show panel that was hosted by John Suraci (Promo Only Promotions) and Brian Fink (WFLZ).  The panelists were: Riddler (Z100/WKTU/KKHH), DJ Prime (WKTU), DJ Flipside (B96/Chicago), Maurice Halsted (WKSC/Chicago), DJ Shortstop (WKQI/Detroit), DJ Orion (WNOU/Indianapolis), Darin Taoka (Hot Mix), DJ Gonzo (Spin Cycle).  A great discussion was held with stories of what kinds of music are working in the shows to the effects of PPM on one’s show.  But the story of the week came from Darin Taoka who almost didn’t make it to the Summer Sessions as the night before he was DJ’ing and there was a double murder outside his club.  His car became part of the crime scene as the people collapsed right next to it.  Unable to move his car for several hours, he missed his first flight but the airline got him on the next flight out.  You can’t make this stuff up. 

After the lively discussion, everyone was treated to an energetic Chris Willis show that featured 3 songs including his brand new one “Louder”.   

The final panel of the day was the Radio panel.  Hosted by Cary Vance (Promo Only Promotions) and Bob Burke (FMQB) the panel had a great cross section of programmers.  The panelist included: Bartel (WKTU/NY), Rob Wagman (WXRK/NYC), Erik Bradley (B96/Chicago), Maxwell (WIOQ/Philadelphia), Kannon (WRDW/Philadelphia), Vic Latino (WPTY/Long Island & WWAC/Atlantic City), Stan Priest (WKSS/Hartford & WKCI/New Haven) and Mike Abrams (Sirius XM).  Plenty of great topics were touched upon but it seemed that PPM and the ongoing debate about performance royalties are still the big topics of discussion.  The final treat for the attendees of the days panels was the acoustic performance by Alexis Jordan of her #1 Dance record, Happiness.  People are still talking about how great it was on Facebook! 

Taking a quick breather was in order because although the “Summer Sessions” portion of the day was over, there was still plenty more business that needed to be attended to.  Over at the DJ Expo at the Taj Mahal, Cary Vance put together an artist panel that consisted of artists that were performing, and presenting, at the Promo Only/Pioneer Summer Sessions concert later that night.  On the panel were:  Jessica Jarrell, Chris Willis, Kaci Battaglia, Jump Smokers, Lilian Garcia, Alexis Jordan, Blake Lewis & Chris Kirkpatrick.  Artists shared some great stories and some of their stranger moments in the world of performing.   

From there it was time to get an hour of down time before the big concert at the House of Blues.  Every year this show gets bigger and bigger.  This year we had stellar performances from the likes of Mike Posner, Kelly Rowland, Shaggy, Salt N Pepa, Judy Torres, Kaci Battaglia, Jessica Jarrell, Alexis Jordan, Tiffany Dunn, Tino Coury, Auburn, 2AM Club, Jump Smokers.  Also performing were Video mixologists DJ 2nd Nature, DJ Kris P, DVDJ Unique and Scotty B handled the music between acts.  The show was hosted by Lilian Garcia, Joey Fatone & Blake Lewis

But for me the act that stole the show in my opinion was Salt N Pepa.  It never ceases to amaze me at how some of the acts from the 80s are so much bigger than life than some of the artists you see touring now.  It should be mandatory for any artist that is going on tour to go to YouTube and look up live performances from Cyndi Lauder, Salt N Pepa, etc.   

The final panel of the Summer Sessions took place on Wednesday.  It was the Record Executive panel hosted by Issy Sanchez.  Panelist included:  Ayelet Schiffman/Columbia, Eddie O’Loughlin/Next Plateau, Frank Murray/Robbins Entertainment, Joey Carvello/Phase One/Upstream Music, John Strazza/Jive Label Group, Noah Sheer/Island Def Jam and Phil Nieves/Ultra.  Discussions here were quite interesting with the panelist split down the middle between the old school promoters and the newer school promoters.  It was great to see all of these top level execs taking the time out of their busy schedules to talk to the attendees about how they see things. 

The last event of the Summer Sessions was the Awards lunch.  This was the first year that awards were given away at the annual lunch.  Award winners and category nominees were selected in earlier voting by their peers.  A select number of categories were also voted on by subscribers to Promo Only.  Here are the winners:

All in all, this was one of the best networking events I’ve been to, ever.  Next year promises to be even bigger and better.  Watch this space for the announcement of the 2011 Promo Only Summer Sessions dates coming soon, that way you can block out your calendar and not have any excuses not to be there! 

Coming next week we will have extensive and exclusive photo coverage of the Summer Sessions.

Other news: 

Last Thursday marked the launch of Club Phusion to the hugely popular world of iheartradio.  Club Phusion is the first pure dance station available amongst the already amazing line-up of stations.  Programmed by Brian Fink from WFLZ/Tampa, Club Phusion plays every genre of dance music, from house to trance to breakbeat, from all the biggest names in the Electronic scene, as well as remixes of the biggest Top 40/Mainstream tracks on the chart.  And with all the talk lately being about getting free programming on your cellphones, the re-emergence of dance music in the US has finally found a home on iheartradio...in Club Phusion.
