Kuala Lumpur – As Heineken Thirst comes back to life on December 10, 2011 at the Sepang International Circuit, the nation’s leading music and lifestyle festival is on the lookout for Malaysia’s next top DJ in their DJ competition called Heineken Found @ Thirst.
After discovering Phil K Lee, one of the brightest local stars to hit the local music scene, the competition returns for its second year designed to discover and nurture the next generation of music and creative talent in Malaysia. This year the competition runs from 7 October to 17 November 2011. Search for the nation’s great DJ to play at Heineken Thirst
Since his victory at Found @ Thirst in 2010, Phil K Lee won the coveted prize to become the first Malaysian to play inside the Godskitchen Boombox at Heineken Thirst last year. He has also hosted his own Heineken Green Space, played a number of regional and international sets and taken an inspirational trip to the UK to experience leading music festival – Global Gathering.
“Working with artists and creatives who have a passion for music and a thirst for life is an ideal way for the brand to give back to the local music and art scenes as well as stimulating experimentation and innovation and exposing its consumers to new ways to enjoy and experience music. It’s also about building platforms where local talent can perform alongside major international stars as equals”, said Jasmine Foong, Heineken Malaysia’s marketingmanager.
