DJ Amit Porobo
 10 March - 12 March 2016
Goa and trance – two words together or apart that resonate within my heart to the same thumping madness of the music I grew up on. Hailing from the famous (or infamous) village of Anjuna, my exposure to music in the home of Electronic Music in India forged my passion and love for music.
Working out of a record store helping the owner- my friend, my first stints at the turn table were at house parties and private gigs. Things sort of waned once I came out to Dubai to pursue my career.
Check out my DJ mix compilations on my online playlist to see what I have to offer. I have learned from some of the best as I played alongside Dubai’s renowned DJ’s including Dj Abs, Virgin Radio’s Big Rossi & Myles. Also shared the stage with the Pioneer Middle East’s 2014 Champion “Trey French” during the opening launch of DJ Academy & opened up for the Kris Fade show Virgin Radio at Taste Of Dubai 2014.
What’s next? Look out for my own productions in 2015 and I would love to share my passion and experience by providing basic DJ classes.

Adam Baluch
 10 March - 12 March 2016
‘Alternative soul’ is how to describe both the man and the music – and it runs through every vein in Adam Baluch’s forever-bopping body.
Adam was born in the UAE to a Ugandan father and American mother and experienced a strict upbringing alongside his nine brothers and sisters, four of whom were adopted. Music never flowed through his childhood home, but it was apparent from his early years that this was something Adam was destined to do; something that came from within.
By the age of eight he was learning to play the trumpet, and by aged 10, the piano. Adam then moved to the US for his high school education, and as a classical trumpet and piano prodigy, joined the acclaimed Carolina Youth Symphony. In grade school, he immersed himself in the human “beat box” percussion movement and post-graduation, he taught himself to play the guitar. At 24, he followed his heart and found a new home in Melbourne, Australia where he spent the next five years, but Adam always knew that he would return home to the UAE, with a whole world of music literally bubbling between his ears.
For more information on Adam Baluch, images, interviews and bookings, contact Greg Dufton by calling +971 50 293 1103 or by email to:gregdufton@thinkme.ae
