Mr. Poramet Amatayakul, Regional Director of the TAT South and president of the press conference said that the Phuket Electronic Music and Dance Festival 2011 would encourage tourism in Thailand and create an image of Phuket as an exciting city and well-known center for music festivals.
This festival, which will feature a number of well known international DJs, will boost tourism following the flooding crisis in Thailand earlier this year and will revive confidence in Thailand as a tourist destination for both local and foreign travelers.
Many famous Thai and foreign artists have been invited to the festival, including Mark Brain, DJ Slick D, and Domination, the winner of the Best Video DJ of the World Contest in Dubai 2011. Famous Thai DJs Dom Pakornlum, J Monthon, and over 20 DJs from Top-10 Phuket clubs, such as Seduction, Sanook Club, White Room, and Tiger Club will be performing on two stages from 7 p.m. December 30 and continuing on December 31 to ring in the new year.
A secondary objective of the festival and DJ competition is to promote electronic music in Thailand, encourage talented young Thai electronic artists, and modernize the electronic music industry in Thailand. To underscore this point, the Thursday press conference to announce the 2011 event featured a disc scratching performance from the winner of IP DJ Hunt 2010, Khun Pakasit Puangngern, whose work, including his performance at last year's festival, was on display at the press conference. Winners of the 2011 IP DJ Hunt contest will receive 20,000 baht, 10,000 Baht and 5,000 Baht in prize money from Pioneer DJ.
The performance queue is to be announced on the websites www.ip-djhunt.com and www.pioneer-thailand.com.
