The DJ craze continues to become a major force in today's live music experience from pioneers like Skrillex to contemporary staples like Steve Aoki. Within the Contemporary Christian Music circles, DJ Maj has once again introduced our audiences to a taste of what this looks like in a family friendly environment. You know exactly what this means if you've ever attended a Toby Mac concert.
In 2013 Maj launched WePop; an acronym for We Party On Purpose. WePop was first introduced to overflow concert goers in the form of after parties during the 2013 Winter Jam Tour Spectacular. Here's a a look:

Since then, DJ Maj has brought a glimpse of WePop to faith-based events including Easterfest 2014.
We're pleased to announce WePop's availability in the CCM festival & conference spaces for the 2015 season. Under the direction of Dj Maj, Wepop 2015 will feature a variety of EDM remixes from industry staples like The Newsboys, Britt Nichole, Mandisa, Hillsong's Young & Free, Toby Mac and more. Our live performances will consists of a fresh batch of acts who are currently making waves on rhythmic radio and internet platforms. We believe WePop is the multimedia, family friendly & high energy experience that's been missing from day time programming. Dj Maj states, "Sitting under an icon like Toby has taught me so much about the importance of substance within our entertainment as believers. It's the only thing that'll change a life. I believe we have a solid concept that's exciting, yet it goes beyond the "throw your hands up and "jump" hype that's often associated with this format. Those are great externals. But the meat of this concept is the actual story line of hope through Christ which runs through the show. I've studied this genre for quite some time and have come to understand how to use it as an actual evangelistic tool. All artists involved have a passion to create a party with a purpose. I'm excited about giving an opportunity to some very talented and budding acts who have had limited access to this audience."
Beyond a high energy multimedia dj performance, Maj will perform a few of the tunes currently circulating radio and internet platforms. Songs include "UK" and the new Broken single which debuted at #8 at rhythmic. Current artists include Cajo recording artist, Canton Jones along with Clear Sight artist, V Rose. Additional content is being confirmed.

WHAT PROMOTERS ARE SAYING:
As a festival promoter I'm always looking for what's relevant to those who attend our events. Working with DJ Maj has given me confidence that the Dj element can be used in a way which allows excellence and doesn't provoke compromise to our core values. Maj's experience shows that knows where this is going. His passion for ministry is equal to his passion for what gets this generation's attention. A concept like WePop will provide a healthy environment and something fresh for all ages.
-Dave Schenk / Easterfest Event Director / Toowoomba QLD Australia
"WePop is a fresh and innovative system of world meets faith. It teaches and encourages all believers to come out of hiding and be bold and expressive for Him through dynamic, relevant and quality dance music. The mix of contemporary Christian, hip hop, and popular music is engaging, attractive and embracing not for the "church kids" but to the world. Be brave, be bold as He called us to live and host a WePop event. Draw believers to live loud and others to see what makes them Party On Purpose."
-Dean Owens / Believer's Tabernacle / Wichita, KS
“DJ Maj and his crew do a phenomenal job of not just extending the party, but extending the brand of the event and the value to the ticket holder. Whether it’s a daytime warm up or late night after party, WePop works to bring the most passionate fans in to increased attendance and value.”
-Bob Thornton / Program Director / KXOJ Radio / Tulsa, OK
"The rise in popularity of EDM at festivals has given more opportunities to see an array of DJs perform. While you can definitely enjoy dance music in your headphones, you're really only able to experience the music live and in person. DJ Maj brought the WePop high energy dance party experience to Murray Hill Theatre as an after-party to the world's largest traveling Christian festival/concert tour. It was a SMASH hit with those in attendance."
