Among DJ Sunday's many other special features and events will be the ever-popular Talkzones, where music industry experts talk about different aspects of DJ'ing and dance music, including technical skills, online music and the business of music in general. Also at PLASA06 will be the Raw Talent Showcase, in which the winners of iDJ's monthly mix competition will perform throughout the day and the A&R Zone, where budding producers can bring along their demos and get expert opinion from some of dance music's leading labels.
