Union in association with Ibiza Rocks & Cream Ibiza present...
★•★•★•★ The British Student DJ Championships 2011 ★•★•★•★
Calling all scholars of sonic selection, pupils of pancake-turning, awesome academic aural activists and devoted disciples of dance - the quest is back on to find the British Champion Student DJ!
Following last year’s competition (which received over 400 entries), the country’s largest student night Union have once again got together with some of the biggest names in dance music to create a fantastic opportunity for unknown student DJ’s to travel to the epicenter of the global dance floor Ibiza, to show what they can do in some of the most prestigious DJ booths anywhere on Planet Earth.
DJ’s are invited to submit a mix and the best 35 will be invited to take part in the finals, which take place in opening party week this June. Every DJ selected will play a set at stunning Kanya Beach – which each summer hosts the world’s finest DJ’s including Paul Van Dyk and Fatboy Slim (in a dual aspect DJ booth facing both the sea and a dancefloor!), from there a final 8 will ‘play off’ around the main pool in the Ibiza Rocks Hotel – on a festival main stage which has hosted Prodigy, Dizzee Rascal, Zane Lowe and Chase & Status. Judges will include Kissy Sell Out and resident DJ’s from Ibiza Rocks, Cream Ibiza and Union.
The winner will then be invited to raise the curtain for Cream @ Amnesia’s opening party later that night! In front of a 4000 capacity crowd and a world class line up. The prize also includes a chance to play a set at Fabric London and a blingtastic trophy, which will be presented by a Cream headliner (last year Eric Prydz did the honours).
The winner will also be refunded his/her travel and accommodation expenses. It’s the ultimate way to kick start your DJ career...whilst also kicking off your summer at the biggest student party Ibiza has ever seen
Kissy Sell Out: “ It’s a great contest which I’m excited to get involved with. I love championing emerging talent and I look forward to hearing the guys play around the Ibiza Rocks Hotel; bring it on!”
