Taking place at Sava Resorts, Morjim, from March 17 to 29, 2025, this 12-day immersive programme offers aspiring DJs, producers, and sound designers an opportunity to train with some of the biggest names in the global music industry. Founded by seasoned electronic music artist Rummy Sharma, the Bootcamp focuses on hands-on learning, artist development, and real-world exposure, making it one of the most prestigious platforms for musicians looking to break into the music scene.

What is a music bootcamp?

The Bootcamp Goa is tailored specifically for electronic music creators, covering a wide spectrum of disciplines, including DJing, music production, live performance, modular synthesis, sound design, turntablism, and music business strategies.

A music bootcamp is an intensive, hands-on training programme designed to equip artists with practical skills, industry knowledge, and networking opportunities to fast-track their careers. Unlike traditional music schools, bootcamps focus on real-world application, bringing together established industry professionals to mentor emerging artists.

What sets The Bootcamp Goa apart is its commitment to career-building. This year, one track produced by Bootcamp students will be featured on the official Rave The Planet Compilation 2025, a massive achievement for up-and-coming producers aiming for global recognition. Additionally, the top five students from this year’s Bootcamp will earn the chance to perform at international music festivals, providing them with direct industry exposure.

“The Bootcamp concept evolved from my long history in teaching, starting in the 90s with Studio Beacons. Over the years, I've seen how technology, consumption, and the way music is produced and performed have all drastically changed.

Living in Europe, where competition in DJing and music production is fierce, it became clear to me that in order to stand out, one has to be different. I'm also deeply grateful for the career I've built in India... Now, I want to give back to the scene... I've decided to bring top industry professionals to the Bootcamp,” said Sharma.
