PRESS RELEASE – THE 2017 Heineken Green Synergy Semifinals was held last week Sunday (September 10) at the Kaka Bef, Vieux Fort. As has become expected of the grandest DJ competition in the region, the event received massive crowd support by fans from all over the island.

The semifinals featured DJs in two segments: skills and clash — vying for a spot in the 2017 Heineken Green Synergy Finals. Fourteen DJs were down to compete in the skills segment and twelve in the clash.

The event saw a blend of new DJs, experienced DJs and veterans, as well as past Heineken Green Synergy champions, all making a bid before the judges and the crowd.
