What makes Malta's clubbing scene unique is the drive you see from DJs to make a name for themselves and become a househould name in an industry which is very small when you compare it to other countries worldwide. If you've been clubbing in Malta at any point in the past 20 years then you've probably heard about one of Malta's best, our friend JJOY. Someone who you would still find headling Malta's main events but now also keeps up with managing his business and family. A man who we will always remember for his positive energy, always bringing a buzz to any DJ stand. He's also had his fair share of foreign gigs in several top global clubs, at a point also maintaining a residency in Ayia Napa, Cyprus.
JJOY has been also hosting his own events for several years , in his past attracting crowds in the thousands on a regular basis, he is one of Malta's top veteran products in the game. Like everybody else though he is human and like many was directly hit by the corona virus pandemic. Being left without any chance to engage with his crowd he quickly took to social media and announced he would be doing a livestream for charity which would be thankfully produced by TechPlus.
DAR BJORN is the beneficiary chosen by JJOY for his first stream of this 3 series production. This complex was opened by the ALS Malta Foundation in November 2017. The ALS Malta Foundation aims to raise awareness about ALS and MND. This facility is designed to provide extensive care for patiens suffering from this conditions.
We take you to the Mistra Battery, formerly also known as Despirasse Battery, is an artillery battery in Mistra Bay, Mellieħa, Malta. It was built by the Order of Saint John in the 18th century as one of a series of coastal fortifications around the coasts of the Maltese Islands. It isn't the most popular tourist spot due to its limited accessibility we thought it would be a great attraction behind the lens. With St Paul's islands acting as a backdrop we couldn't go wrong.
This time we had full production handled by Techplus. Power source all the way up to filming, editing and broadcasting. We had three frontal cameras together with a drone to get all the shots we needed. JJOY is playing on two CDJ 2000 NEXUS 2 + DJM 900 NEXUS 2. On each side of his ears he has a 15'' monitor from HK AUDIO wedged on the floor, blasting out 600w of continous power, when needed, to ensure he hears a clear mix.
Setting up and dismantling was no walk in the park.
