Local DJ Sundance puts Frankston on the map!
Local DJ Cameron Lancefield (Sundance) has captured the essence of Frankston's beautiful beachside at sunset in his latest Afro House Sunset Mix, and the world is taking notice. Recorded right on the foreshore, the set is quickly growing in numbers, showcasing the area's charm to a global audience.
The video's appeal lies in its authenticity and energy. It's not just a DJ set; it's an experience. The inclusion of the local Frankston Life Saving Club kids, who couldn't resist joining in for a dance, adds a touch of genuine joy that elevates the whole production.
Amassing over 100,000 views in less than a week, this Afro House Sunset Mix has clearly tapped into something special. Sundance's talent, combined with the stunning setting, has created a compelling piece of content that celebrates Frankston and connects with viewers worldwide. It's a testament to the power of music to unite and inspire."
For many, music is a lifelong companion, but for local DJ Sundance, that connection has evolved into a vibrant career fuelled by passion and a love for sharing the perfect moment. His journey, which began with a childhood obsession with CDs and the iconic sounds of Café Del Mar, has taken him from private listening to captivating audiences worldwide.
Sundance's love for electronic music has always been a driving force, but it wasn't until a transformative experience at Hula Hula beach club in Croatia in 2022 that he realised his true calling. Witnessing DJ Diego's passionate performance ignited a fire within him, inspiring him to pursue DJing not as a means to an end, but as a pure expression of musical passion. "A massive shout out to Diego," Sundance says, "he really inspired me to just go for it and start learning properly in January 2023."
The desire to share his musical vision led to the creation of his now-popular YouTube sets. "I'm a massive sunsets guy," Sundance explains, "I wanted to combine my love of music and my pursuit of the perfect sunset session." Inspired by the iconic sunsets of Ibiza, where he spent weeks soaking in the atmosphere between Café Del Mar and Café Mambo, Sundance began curating sets designed to provide the ultimate soundtrack to golden hour.
What started as a personal project, experimenting with a GoPro on a New Zealand road trip, quickly became a catalyst for his burgeoning career. The ability to capture and share that magical sunset vibe has resonated with audiences far and wide.
The global reception to Sundance's sets has been nothing short of phenomenal. "This honestly still floors me," he admits. The heartwarming feedback from listeners around the world, including those who express their enjoyment and even those who have been inspired to start DJing themselves, has surpassed all expectations. For Sundance, this connection with his audience is the ultimate reward, allowing him to "repay the good times so many DJs have paid me over the years."
Sundance recently chose Frankston Beach as the location for his latest set, a decision driven by a desire to highlight the area's beauty and dispel negative perceptions. "Look I'm going to call a spade a spade here," Sundance says, "going back Frankston unfortunately hasn't had the best reputation in some people's eyes and it's sad to see." He emphasises the area's many attractions, including its vibrant dining scene and lively atmosphere. "The waterfront as I hope the video shows is actually beautiful, the water is clean and clear, the beaches lovely and I mean c'mon we even have a European style beach club!!!"
Filming the set at Frankston Beach was a particularly enjoyable experience for Sundance, marking a shift towards more public performances. "Absolutely loved it," he says. Having previously filmed sets primarily in private, he now aims to do more public sets, recognising the enhanced atmosphere they create. And for fans eager to experience more of Sundance's music, there's good news: "I might actually have a little to share on some upcoming ones soon....."
Sundance's journey is a testament to the power of passion, the beauty of sharing music, and the ability to showcase the best of local communities. Keep an eye on his channels Sundance YouTube for more captivating sunset sessions and the chance to experience his infectious energy firsthand.
