Motorola competition showcases amateur DJ talent
DUBAI, UAE, June 2003 There can be no doubt that a pair of decks has replaced the trusty ‘electric guitar’ as the new choice for making music. Motorola and well-known Dubai DJ Sticky Fingers recently announced the winner of a nationwide search for the next superstar Amateur DJ.
The first amateur DJ competition pushed the boundaries of student DJs, welcoming all genres of music and encouraging the use of tricks, samples, effects and showmanship, in a bid to find unique and entertaining new talent. DJs were marked on originality, innovation, technical skill and entertaining the crowd.
“The new Motorola C350 is about entertainment through music and games,“ said Patrick Mulligan, General Manager, Personal Communications Sector, Middle East and North Africa.
Mulligan continued, “Motorola is inviting consumers to define their individual style and sophistication. The C350 embodies both with its affordability, colour screen, chargeable covers, and Motomixer.”
The competition, which took place at the Oxygen club, saw DJ Roni win the accolade of “Motorola Amateur DJ Champion”. Sticky Fingers, who was the judge of the event, presented him with exclusive Motorola merchandise, the latest C350 Motorola phone, and Dhs. 1000 to purchase DJ equipment. The winner also secured himself a place on Sticky’s show on FREE FM 96.7.
