A year later he became DJ resident at the legendary Club 58 and together with other dj's of the region provided the hottest party nights in town.

On Saturday April 5, Oliver Shine, Swiss DJ, musician and composer conducted a day-long workshop at Tumo. The first part, open to all, was a lecture on the electronic music industry today.

The second part, the actual workshop, began with Oliver Shine discussing DJing and using the DJ Booth. A video setup showing the DJ Deck on the screen allowed students to see the mixing process as it happened. This was followed by DJ Shine asking students to come and try live mixing on stage while he gave individual feedback. He ended the workshop by proposing that participants send him one of their mixes of which he would choose the ten best submissions to post on his official website.

The Swiss Ambassador, Mr. Lukas Gasser who was also present, offered to announce the winners during an informal gathering at the Embassy.
