Fast growing urban radio station Guide Radio 91.5FM has partnered with Ballantine’s Whisky to announce King of The Decks: a Dj competition for DJs of all genders and genres within the country.
The station manager, Ekow Abban said: “Guide Radio is known as a station that puts the quality of their music curation first and for me as a DJ as well, I’m very keen on increasing the value of DJs here in Ghana. King of the Decks is just one of many ways I hope to do that”
The brand manager for Ballantine’s Whisky Jeannette Quashie also had this to say: “We are thrilled to partner with Guide Radio to début the first edition of King of the Decks. Ballantine’s whisky is a brand that has a passion for music and is keen on supporting the music culture in Ghana. DJs play an important role in this industry but are not given the relevant support. With this competition, Ballantine’s Whisky hopes to shift the focus on DJs and give them the much needed recognition they deserve. We encourage all DJs and aspiring DJs to showcase their talent by participating in this challenge.”
