Red Bull 3Style University is a one-day workshop that allows budding student DJs the chance to learn from internationally renowned and successful DJs. For many DJs, it’s the chance to give back to the community and share their knowledge to the next generation.
The workshop began with an open discussion where DJ BYTE talked about his beginnings as an aspiring DJ in his native Chile to winning the Red Bull 3Style World Championship in Tokyo, in 2015.

“I became a DJ after I saw one guy using cassettes to mix music, I thought it was magic. I started with a little company and played parties for my school”, DJ BYTE reminisced. “After some time, I learned I had special skills and I started to push myself to another level. I was going to give everything I had to music and in 2015, at Red Bull 3Style, the music said to me, ‘Okay, you gave enough. It is time to give back.’”
Two finalists from this year’s Red Bull 3Style competition were also in attendance, allowing him to share the tips that enabled him to become the World Champion in 2015.
A 3Style showcase was later held later in the evening at Pura Vida, Makati, with DJ BYTE, DJ Roy de Borja (2015 3Style 2nd Runner Up), and 2017 3Style finalist, DJ Kouta Kutsuma (2015 3Style Finalist).
Along with DJs Hedspin and Carlo Atendido, DJ BYTE will judge the upcoming Red Bull 3Style National Finals on Thursday, October 19th, at Valkyrie at the Palace, in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
