Burn Studios ‘Residency’ Unveils Avicii As The Final Mentor!

With just 6 days to go, global electronic music icon Avicii has been confirmed as the sixth and final mentor for burn studios Residency. Taking place in Ibiza this summer, the program – fueled by burn energy drink – is designed to foster up-and-coming DJ talent, awarding a coveted residency at a top Ibiza club for the summer season for three DJs.

Avicii joins the already impressive line-up of mentors that includes world leading dance music talents Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), Fatboy Slim, Maceo Plex, Solomun and Steve Lawler.

Avicii who is best known for his worldwide hit records such as “Levels”, “Fade Into Darkness”, “Silhouettes” and his recent global number 1 smash hit with Nicky Romero “I Could Be The One” will be on hand at the burn studios Residency bootcamp to guide the contestants and provide them with a unique insight into what is one of the biggest success stories in modern music.

“When my manager Ash approached me with this opportunity I got so excited to be able to help nurture and guide the next wave of international electronic music talent together with burn. burn studios Residency provides a fantastic opportunity, not just to the Residents but to all the finalists who will join me and the other producers and DJs at Bootcamp”,  said Avicii. “The way to success isn’t easy at all, so I hope I can make an impact on them by giving out some knowledge and advice on both the production and the industry. I can’t wait to get started and to meet the finalists in May”.

The program, which is in its second successful year, gives emerging talent the opportunity to hone their craft with the best in the industry, learning new skills and insight to help propel them to the next level.

“We want to nurture young, talented individuals and support them in achieving their dreams. By working with a global artist such as Avicii we provide the ultimate inspiration to show our participating DJs and the wider burn community just where your passion and determination can take you”, said Erik Hofstaedter, burn Marketing Manager, Coca-Cola Europe
