SHINE | The Dallas Pride Pool Party 2015

It isn’t a party in Dallas unless there’s a pool involved, so Saturday we’re bringing back our popular Dallas Pride Pool Party, Shine. DJ Roland Belmares has played in Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and all across the world, booked major events like White Party, Winter Party (Miami), and Alegria (NYC), and worked with dance floor divas like Pepper Mashay, Kristine W., and Debby Holiday. Opening for DJ Roland is Dallas’s own DJ Prince P, who’s had the honor of spinning at several local dance clubs and Purple Foundation events. His love of fun uplifting vocals and tribal beats quickly creates an energetic atmosphere for listeners that will perfectly set the tone for Roland. Shine is held at SISU Uptown Resort, a short mile away from The Strip and one of the most popular party venues of Purple Party Weekend. SISU features a gorgeous saltwater pool, deluxe cabanas, and a delicious menu of drinks and culinary bites to keep you fueled until sunset. You won’t want to miss this Dallas Pride event!

DJ Roland Belmares (LA)

DJ Roland Belmares

Back in 1996, Dj Roland Belmares began his dj’ing career at a small club called The Forum in his hometown of Austin, TX. Roland quickly garnered a steady following and slowly began building a name for himself in town and far beyond the walls of his weekly residence. Since that time, Belmares has been called to play for several top events across the US from San Francisco to Miami, including major circuit events like White Party, Winter Party (Miami), Alegria (New York), Joining Hearts (Atlanta) and of course the world famous Gay Days (Orlando) headlining the original Reunion Pool parties, Arabian Knights and the weekend’s crown jewel: One Mighty Party! He’s even broken the international barriers to play in Canada, Brazil, Amsterdam and was recently booked for a series of events in the Asian market in both Hong Kong and Bangkok. The incredible impact Roland has made on audiences has certainly secured him a position on the discerning partygoer’s “Hot List” of circuit DJs.

As for what lies ahead for Dj Roland Belmares, it appears he is dedicated to dance music beyond simply maintaining his status as one of the scene’s top rated DJs. Roland is currently back in school working on furthering his education and further honing his musical production talents. He has already worked with many of today’s Dance floor Divas including Billie Myers, Pepper Mashay, Pat Hodges, Kristine W, Abigail and Debby Holiday. He’s also got some future projects in the works and looks forward to sharing them with his audiences real soon!
