A spur of the moment Facebook Live video stream on a Sunday morning has led to a new dance event in Maidstone.

When DJ Nathan Martin started playing trance tunes on his personal profile he was not prepared for hundreds of viewers and a raft of excited comments.

The 37-year-old, who was resident DJ at Banks Bar in Bank Street for 10 years and has played at world-famous club Ministry of Sound in London, said: “The viewing numbers were going ridiculous and lots of people were commenting on how they missed trance.

“I thought how awesome it would be to have trance back in Maidstone.”

Nathan, from Maidstone, approached Social Chill Bar in Week Street, where he hosts monthly night Debut, and decided to start a daytime event.

The first Trance, featuring former Ikon resident DJ Paul Johnson, Rascal Van Russ from London’s daytime Trance Sanctuary event, warm-up act Alex Faulkner, and Nathan, takes place from midday to 6pm on Saturday, February 18.
