He says he eats, sleeps and drinks music and has spent the last ten years DJing in clubs trying to make it big. And now, thanks to 5FM’s Ultimix@6, Ryan the DJ (real name: Ryan Nair), has won the opportunity of a lifetime – to play alongside DJ icons like 5FM’s DJ Fresh and Euphonik at the Ultimix@6 Vol. 3 album tour which kicks off in Joburg on August 10. Ryan beat out hundreds of hopeful mixmasters to win the coveted position of 5FM’s second Ultimix@6 competition winner and, says the excited 25-year-old Durbanite, “Winning the Ultimix@6 competition is possibly the greatest achievement in my DJ career. This is a huge opportunity for me, one which I am very grateful for and I will most definitely be using it to the fullest.” Ryan adds that he’s especially excited about playing alongside 5FM’s legendary Fresh and Euphonik during the Ultimix@6 Vol. 3 album tour, which will visit Joburg, Cape Town, Nelspruit and Bloemfontein in August.

 

The Ultimix@6 competition was started last year in an effort by The Fresh Drive, 5FM’s award-winning afternoon-drive show, to find up-and-coming new DJ talent and give them the opportunity to showcase their skills. Says DJ Fresh, host of The Fresh Drive, “I think Ryan is a hot DJ talent. He did his mix live – anyone who can do what he did live deserves to win.”

 

Winning the Ultimix@6 competition has the potential to catapult the winner into the big leagues. Says last year’s winner, DJ Wags, “The Ultimix@6 is a brilliant platform to build your brand and it gave me the opportunity to leave my accounting job and focus full time on my DJing and production, which has always been my dream. Winning the competition opened many doors for me and now I’m doing what I love. I couldn’t be happier. ”

 

 

The Ultimix@6 Vol. 3 album tour parties will be held in August at these destinations around SA:

 

Joburg – Friday 10 August

Nelspruit – Friday  17 August

Cape Town – Friday 24 August

Bloemfontein – Friday 31 August

Tickets to the parties will be available at the venues, details of which will be announced shortly. For more information listen to the Ultimix@6 on The Fresh Drive, weekdays between 3pm and 7pm or visit www.5fm.co.za.
