UK - The 2005 PLASA Show opened its doors at 10 o'clock this morning, and the crowds streamed in to the show floor, which looks better and brighter than ever. Sunday at PLASA is DJ day, of course, and the annual Gemini DJ competition will once again prove a big draw for budding mix artists, with the contest taking place in the DJ lounge at the rear of the hall, and the final taking place at 4.30pm. There's plenty more going on as part of DJ Sunday, supported by iDJ magazine, offering all kinds of opportunities to learn about the art and practice of DJing.

Appropriately for DJ Sunday, seminars today include a session on Digital Turntablism and Mixing, chaired by David Eserin, editor of the Technoscan section of DJ Magazine, the session features world-renowned DJs Chris Liebing and Jonathan Lisle, and Eitan Zilkha of Sapphires. Following the session, Jonathan Lisle will be performing on the Denon DJ stand at 2.30pm, where he will be using the latest DN-S5000 table-top CD players. Other high profile DJ appearances today will include sets from James Zabiela, Eddie Halliwell and Addictive TV on the Pioneer stand, while Eclectic Method, Phil K and Dan Tait will also be appearing on the stand during the remainder of the Show.

The session on digital mixing is followed by 'The Future of the DVJ and Vision Mixing' at 2.30, chaired by Alex Eyre, editor of Night Magazine. Also being held today is a discussion session on 'Specifying Image Brightness and Contrast' at 4.00pm, led by AV specialist Scott Wills.

Tickets cost £10 per session, or £20 for a three-session pass. Tickets can be collected on the day from the Seminar Theatre located on the Top Deck at Earls Court.
