What it is

Planeta DJ is a contemporary Venezuelan digital outlet —not a period archive— devoted to the scene of the minitecas and the discjockeys (now DJs), with a stamp especially tied to the east of the country. In its own pieces it identifies itself as “Planeta DJ Venezuela” on Facebook and as “Planeta DJ TV Cumaná” on YouTube, which anchors the brand to Cumaná, Sucre state.

Its characteristic contribution is the first-hand interview: conversations with miniteca owners, discjockeys and hosts in which the protagonists themselves tell their story. That kind of testimony —the direct voice of those who made the rumba— makes it valuable as a documentary source and as an ally of the miniteca movement.

Material identified

Among the pieces that the CMTK Archive has publicly located as its own are:

· “Antes se ponía a bailar el público…” — an interview with DJ Manzul (Manzul Rivas), from the booth of the miniteca Holiday; linked in DJ Manzul's entry in this library.
· An interview about the Miniteca Caribbean and its confrontation with Tridimensión, circulated as “entrevista completa en Planeta DJ.”

Note on identity (namesake)

It should not be confused with “Planeta DJs,” a channel of digital DJing tutorials (VirtualDJ, Traktor, Rekordbox) with no relation to the Venezuelan minitecas: they are namesake and distinct brands. The ally documented here is the Planeta DJ tied to Cumaná and to the miniteca interviews of the east.

Its YouTube channel is @planetadjtvcumana, labeled “Planeta Dj Venezuela”: the interview with DJ Manzul that this entry already cited is published there, which confirms that the Cumaná name and the Venezuela name belong to the same brand and not to two different channels.

Article in progress

The name of the person in charge, the date of creation and the reach of the channel remain to be confirmed. Article in progress… if you run Planeta DJ or know its story, contribute and help us document it precisely.
