News: Simon Cowell launching X Factor for Djs
It has been confirmed, Simon Cowell the CEO of SYCO – a production company responsible for TV show X Factor, and also music publishing company responsible for Leona Lewis “Collide” controversy – has announced today that he will be launching soon a new talent show to find the world’s best DJs. The show will be co-produced with Overbrook, production company owned by Will Smith (yes the same Hollywood star who saved the workd about 30 times in movies).
“DJ’s are the new rock stars, it feels like the right time to make this show” said Mr Cowell in a statement. They should announce their broadcast partners for the US and UK market very soon.
In the meantime, I am trying to understand how could this work on TV; as there is a difference between a DJ and a producer. Most electronic artists are recognized and gain fame thanks to their production (try to find one EDM artist who tours around the world with no production?), if we look at the way X Factor currently works, does that mean DJs would do a performance of a few minutes in front of judges which will decide if they move on to the next round?Who will be the Judges?
This brings a lot of question and clearly the term DJ has become something very bankable for the entertainment industry. I am just very interested to see the format and how they are going to judge the DJs based on their performance and considering the music background they are coming from.
