VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Destiny Media Technologies (OTC Bulletin Board: DSNY), the global leader in the secure distribution of pre-release music to radio (http://www.plaympe.com) and provider of instant play streaming media, and RockSTAR Music Corp., an international record label and artist management company, will be hosting 'The Quintessential VIP Juno Awards Party.'
On March 28th, the night prior to the CTV televised broadcast of 'The 2009 Juno Awards' live at General Motors Place stadium, the Canadian music industry celebrates at the exclusive 'Juno Gala Awards Dinner.' A private, ticketed event, this dazzling evening of celebration, dinner and awards takes place at the Westin Bayshore Hotel. 32 Juno Awards (http://www.junoawards.ca/ ) will be handed out in different categories.
After the dinner, select VIP's, dignitaries, celebrities and other special guests will attend 'The Quintessential VIP Juno Awards Party,' sponsored by Play MPE(R) and RockSTAR Music Corp. Just steps from the Westin Bayshore Hotel in the exclusive downtown neighbourhood of Coal Harbour sits Vancouver's premier restaurant, the Lift Bar and Grill, which rises out of the Pacific ocean on timber pilings.
The restaurant, which will be closed to the public for this exclusive event, will be a star studded red carpet gala featuring Hollywood search lights, a vanity wall where stars can pose for Press and Paparazzi, complementary food and drink, with the 'who's who' of the entertainment world. Select guests will have access to the stunning rooftop deck, featuring casual seating around 5 star fire pits, overlooking the Stanley Park peninsula.
The world renowned Lift Bar and Grill restaurant (http://www.liftbarandgrill.com/) is located literally 'in' Burrard Inlet, providing one of the most spectacular visual locations in Vancouver. Views include a snow capped mountain range on the other side of the inlet, the Stanley Park rainforests, and yachts and seaplanes entering the marina.
Staff from Play MPE(R) and RockSTAR Music will be available to take requests for VIP invitations at the Royal York Hotel during 'The 2009 Canadian Music Week' (http://www.cmw.net ), March 11-14.
RockSTAR was one of the earliest Canadian users of the Play MPE(R) system, switching from a competing company in early 2007 to get the higher audio quality and better network and features Play MPE(R) offers.
Michael Hektoen, RockSTAR President, explained, "The Play MPE(R) system is the global standard for music distribution. It's the perfect platform to break new Canadian artists before exposing them to the global music market."
