Good scene for SL DJs \u2026in the Maldives<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Source:<\/span><\/strong>Island<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Although the pandemic has crippled the entertainment industry, to a great extent, DJs do find work coming their way, but not as much as it was during the \u2018old normal.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

The Maldives seem to be a happy hunting ground for DJs, and our guys are very much in the scene, over there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doing it for the past 15 years, in the Maldives, is Ranga Samarasinghe, who operates as DJ Belz.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ranga began his school career at Kingswood Collage, Kandy, and, after his A\/Ls, in 2002, he moved into the DJ scene, starting out as a mobile DJ.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"His initial work was with the Central Master\u2019s DJ Crew, and then the Zee Zee DJ crew, in Kandy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, he started his own DJ crew with, DJ Indunil.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2005, he moved into action as Resident DJ at a well known night club in Kandy, at that point in time, called Blackout, at the Swiss Resident Hotel.<\/span><\/p>\n

His first foreign assignment, to the Maldives, was in December, 2005, to perform at Christmas and New Year gigs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Maldives scene certainly does have a special attraction for Ranga and he has made his presence felt at many well-known resorts, over there \u2013 Kuda Bandos island, the capital Male, and Chaaya Lagoon Hakuraa Huraa (now known as Cinnamon Hakuraa).<\/span><\/p>\n

In mid January, 2008, he joined, his current working place, Sun Island Resort and Spa, as a resident DJ. Owned by Villa Hotels, Maldives, it\u2019s said to be the largest resort in the Maldives, with over 460 rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Ranga has also done his thing in Indonesia, in 2014, performing as a guest DJ, at the Engine Room nightclub, in Bali.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, the setup wasn\u2019t favourable for any kind of entertainment, due to the lockdowns, and Ranga had to return home as the resort closed its doors to tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n

After nearly seven months of closure, the resort started operation, in October, 2020, and the Sri Lankan DJ says he is so glad to be back, working, after a long break.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now operating under the guidelines of the Maldives Health Authority and the Maldivian Government.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ranga also added that he now feels good after having taken the Covid-19 vaccine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another Sri Lankan DJ who is doing good in the Maldives is DJ Dex T (Desilva).<\/span><\/p>\n

He does the scene at the Dusit Thani Resort.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
