A burn PRODUCTION
This is burn RESIDENCY: the biggest global DJ competition.
Eighteen young DJs are given a once-in-a-lifetime chance
to follow their passion and win a DJ residency on Ibiza.
This is their chance of a lifetime. This is burn RESIDENCY.
Previously on burn RESIDENCY:
DJ Lea Dobricic impressed the judges
to win the first challenge, and now goes straight through to the final.
The others now wait to find out the next challenge in order to qualify,
but not all of them have turned up to the briefing.
We have a new challenge for you: the remix challenge.
You all gotta use this take with the stems of one of Maceo Plex's tracks.
Maceo Plex, one of the hottest DJs on the island,
and with his own acclaimed label, is giving each contestant a track to remix.
He will be choosing a winner in two day's time at a one-on-one feedback session.
He's very special with this, he doesn't allow anyone else to remix his tracks.
So this is a unique opportunity for you. And you have to hand out a remix in the next days.
After the briefing, Valentino checks up on the whereabouts of DJ Kolya.
Are you sharing a room with Kolya?
Yeah, he's in the room sleeping right now.
He was partying, and networking, I guess.
He came home a bit late the first two days.
He didn't turn up to the workshop we had in the morning.
It's not fair for the rest of the contestants, and for me it's a lack of respect.
Hey man.
Hello?
What happened, bro?
Uhh... I just...
wanted to go home, just to get some hours of sleep.
You're going to do with this whatever you want,
it's your opportunity, and your chance.
Work hard, don't just do it as something on the side; it won't work.
DJ Kolya gets back to his room at 7am every day.
I think DJ Kolya is not really aware of the great opportunity he has.
He thinks he's a bit better or a bit above the rest of his colleagues.
What happened, it happened.
With the second challenge announced, the DJs have to get cracking.
Wherever I can, I'm with my computer and just making my work.
Since 18, DJing and producing are actually my main focus.
But for some, it's going to be a struggle.
I've never done it before, so my lack of confidence,
maybe that could be a problem.
She's been a bit nervous, so I've tried to relax her a bit.
Avicii, one of the biggest hit producers ranked consistently in the top 10 DJs in the world,
has joined the contestants to give them some advice on how to produce.
It's all about work, because you need to find your own song
and you need to think outside of the box, but in order to do that
you need to have mastered the craft of producing to a certain extent first.
They had to play straight after they arrived on the island, they have been facing challenges.
They have been under massive pressure
and they need fresh energy for the next days.
We have decided to send the guys today on a boat trip.
After the announcement, it's time for a well-earned break.
The DJs get their first glimpse of the high life.
Right now, living the life of a DJ superstar doesn't seem that far away.
It was a perfect day for chilling a bit and relaxing.
Don't have to think about things.
It can't get any better.
Very special moment in my life.
Heaven on earth.
As the sun begins to set, Valentino takes the DJs
to San Antonio, Ibiza's famous sunset strip.
This is San Antonio. All the big DJs are throwing their pre-parties here.
So it's a very, very special and unique space.
And actually, you are going to stay in that flat over there,
if you win the residency.
Ohhh!
It would be like the dream coming true.
There's no other place in the world as Ibiza.
When I saw the residency flat, I realized how amazing it would be,
to be in the middle of the action.
The DJs meet Alan, the owner and promoter of Café Mambo,
who will ultimately decide who wins a DJ residency at his club.
If I could choose, it would definitely be Mambo Café.
Then, a surprise challenge is announced.
We are going to put you, right now, on the third challenge,
which is the sunset challenge.
And that means we want you to pick up one track you would play
right in the moment when the sun is setting.
Sunset at Café Mambo is pure magic.
It's a moment the DJs have to reflect in their sets.
The DJs wait outside for the announcement as Alan and Valentino select the winning track.
Far too techie man, for chillout this is... no, we're agreed.
It's a little bit old, a little bit trance-y for us, to be honest.
We have it! Yeah, bro. Let's go.
What an amazing scenario to announce the winner of the sunset challenge.
And the winner of this challenge, making it to the final round, is...
Coming up on burn RESIDENCY:
Find out who causes unexpected controversy at the sunset challenge.
Well, actually I wanted to play it myself.
For me it was no emotion.
The second best was him.
