How does open decks work?

Open Decks is a community-driven event where DJs of all skill levels can sign up to play a short set in front of a live audience. It’s casual, non-competitive, and focused on creativity, experimentation, and connection.

Show up at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time to play, and please keep us informed if you can no longer make your set. As a DJ from the waitlist will be selected!

Do I have to DJ?

Absolutely Not! Open Decks is just as much for dancers, music lovers, and curious friends. No need to DJ to participate. Come hang, meet people, and discover new sounds.

What DJ equipment is Being Used?

Available will be a Pioneer xdj-xz. We are working to secure vinyl turntables for our future events. All you need to bring is your USB, headphones, and good energy. Please refrain from bringing your laptop.
