Mixify Launches Clubcast in India Through Partnership With VH1 Supersonic and MyPurpleMartini
MUMBAI and NEW YORK, November 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
A-list Artists Now More Accessible to the Thriving EDM Communities in India, Kicking
Off With Exclusive Performances From Steve Aoki and Cosmic Gate
Ahead of their Supersonic Arcade series January 2015 with superstar Steve Aoki at the
helm, Viacom's Vh1 Supersonic Festival, India's leading live music entertainment provider,
has teamed up with Mixify (http://www.mixify.com), the premiere interactive
live-streaming platform connecting DJs and fans around the world, and Indian
nightlife/ticketing platform MyPurpleMartini to present the country's first ever digital,
multi-city simulcast EDM event.
On November 7th and 8th, Aoki (Philadelphia) then Cosmic Gate (New York City) will
broadcast live direct to thousands of Indian fans, gathered in multiple cities around the
subcontinent, via Mixify's 'Clubcast' experience. Performing exclusive sets at Mixify's
invite-only parties in the States, Aoki, Cosmic Gate and Vh1 Supersonic will then use
Clubcast's proprietary technology to stream live into venues across India through a 2-way
interactive HD feed.
"VH1 Supersonic is always looking for new ways to engage fans and deliver unique
experiences with top caliber artists," said Jaideep Singh, Sr. Vice President & Business
Head - Integrated Network Solutions (INS) Viacom 18 Media Pvt. Ltd. "Clubcast is an
exciting evolution for the industry, bringing the people of India closer to the artists
they love, and helping to foster this bubbling EDM community."
"Clubcast is about creating access, enabling venues to bring fans more unique
experiences with their favorite artists, despite limitations on distance and fees," added
David Moricca, founder and CEO of Mixify. "We're thrilled to tap into a country of this
size and create a new way for artists to engage this exciting market, and for Indian
venues to maximize their offerings to party goers."
Allowing artists to engage with fans in multiple locations at the same time, in a
streamlined, personal and highly interactive manner, the global expansion of Clubcast into
India strategically taps into the 225 million EDM fans that make up the flourishing
electronic music community (2014 International Business of Music). Mixify's move to India
comes on the heels of a massive surge in electronic dance festival attendance over the
past year, with Vh1 Supersonic Festival firmly at the head of the trend, and comes as no
surprise to Supersonic Arcade headliner Aoki.
"India's electronic music scene has really exploded," says DJ Steve Aoki. "You feel
this bubbling energy among the fans, and I'm always excited to explore new opportunities
like Clubcast to reach and engage my spirited fans out there."
Since its launch in June 2014, Mixify has powered Clubcasts in 31 cities across six
countries, providing access to top artists including Laidback Luke, Steve Aoki, Cosmic
Gate and Tommy Trash among others - but this is the first time music fans in India will
have had access to the experience. Including the Vh1 Supersonic initiative, Mixify is now
on track to deliver Clubcast experiences to 40 global venues each month by the end of
2014.
Mixify is on a mission to enhance the live events offerings for:
- Fans: to attend more parties with their favorite artists in venues at affordable
prices
- Artists: to raise their profiles internationally and share music with new markets
while increasing their revenue stream
- Venues: to grow and expand their businesses by offering party goers access to new
talent
