Shake It Up 2012 organiser Tom Greenwood said: “Our aim with Shake It Up 2012 is to discover the next bright talent in this thriving scene and then give them the platform to really make a name for themselves in the North East and beyond. Not only this, but we believe the event is a great way to get everyone together who share a common interest, a love for for urban and dance music”.

A number of artists who are selected by the panel will all feature on a compilation CD and perform together at the main live event on Saturday the 13th of October. The select panel of local experts from the dance and urban music scene will then select one artist from each of the genres, who will have the fantastic opportunity to release a single via Bunkeruk records along with a publishing and full PR package.
Local DJ and producer KT Mosebi who has recently worked in the Bunker studios alongside BunkerDance producers to record his material, said of the event: 'From what I have heard so far it sounds like a brilliant opportunity for acts like myself to showcase our talents and get some feedback from people in the scene who we really respect. I will definitely be entering, this is a great chance to get my music heard'.
