Bootleg Workshop by DJ Dunproofin'
Time: 2-4pm
Fancy a bit of remixing and creating bootlegs? Come and join this free workshop by Aberdeen-based mash-up maverick Dunproofin'! All welcome.
Dunproofin's mash up bootlegs, remixes and DJ mixes have been heard on radio stations in the UK (XFM London & Glasgow) and beyond. It has even been reported that a track has been played during an interval at an LA Baseball Game to a crowd of around 60k.
