HOLIDAY 1996 • NUMBER TWENTYFIVE
“The holidays are upon us, and for mobile and club DJs and KJs, that means plenty of gigs. But believe it or not, many club owners and audiences still perceive female DJs as a curiosity. So, we’re shining our spotlight on ‘Spinnin’ Women’ in this issue, as the Ladies of the DJ Ranks talk about their successes, industry perception, and stereotyping. 1996 has been a banner year for Karaoke, with massive new exposure in movies and television. Ben Fong-Torres looks at Pioneer’s Karl Detken the new mainstream media romance with the most popular form of interactive entertainment in the world, and Josh Hanson gives us a look at the results of the televised Coast-To-Coast Karaoke finals. Now, more than ever before, manufacturers recognize the viability of the Karaoke and DJ markets, and are putting their resources to work — offering quality products that are sophisticated, compact, durable, and have great price tags. While you’re enjoying this issue, please don’t ignore the ads. Our advertisers are incredibly supportive, and several offer specials for our readers only. Happy Holidays!”
—Trinity Houston
