Last week, five promising DJs showed their talent to a professional jury in the Paard. And the winner is… AFRITUDE!
Valentijn Schulz of The Hague University of Applied Sciences organises the annual HI The Hague Student DJ Contest: “Never before have we had so many women behind the decks – super entries that The Hague is going to hear a lot from. The DJs are showing a whole new sound: varied styles and wonderfully danceable. It’s going to be a party in the Student Area of the Liberation Festival on Malieveld on 5 May.”
“I’m Danischka, and I spin as a DJ under the name AFRITUDE. I study European Studies at De Haagse Hogeschool and also spend a lot of time DJing and everything that comes with it. I grew up with music and DJing, as my father is also a DJ. I had my first DJ lesson when I was 8 years old and over the years, my love for the profession has continued to grow. My favourite hobby is of course DJing, which will hopefully grow into a great career. Together with my sister, I form a DJ duo under the name ‘DJs With AFRITUDE’. Because I started DJing young, I have already built up quite a lot of experience, especially at school parties in The Hague and the surrounding area.”
The finalists and former finalists will spin at the HI The Hague Student Experience at the Bevrijdingsfestival Den Haag on 5 May. Around 16.00, we expect Mayor Jan van Zanen there, who will have a meet & greet with this breeding ground of talent.
