Quench that Thirst before July 31

GULFWIDE: Heineken’s Thirst Studio has arrived in the Gulf with the launch of a new format for the third edition of the region’s hottest DJing — and now producing — talent competition, which will seek out new talent in Bahrain, Oman and the UAE.

It all kicks off with the opening of registration for the competition on July 11, offering the ultimate prizes of the trip of a lifetime to London to meet and produce a track with the legendary dance act, Groove Armada, in their studio, as well as performing with Groove Armada and Soulwax Nite Versions at the Thirst Studio main event in Dubai on November 9.
Anyone interested in getting involved can log onto thirst-gulf.com or call +971-4-3614700 for a registration form. All applicants have to be aged 21 or over and need to provide a 30-minute, non-stop demo mix (original or remixed tracks) on CD along with the registration form, by July 31 at the latest. DJs are being encouraged to go further and can create genre-bending mixes blending dance and rock, hip hop and funk, for example. DJs selected to perform can also join production workshops run by Thirst Studio in collaboration with the SAE Institute in Dubai.
Thirst Studio Gulf is part of Heineken’s Thirst Studio, a world-wide groundbreaking collaboration of rising talent and the planet’s hottest producers across all urban genres, culminating in powerful new music and unique live performances across the globe. Over the coming months, Thirst Studio will take the best local talent from around the world and give aspiring DJs and artists the opportunity to create tracks with stars.
