The event is designed for all skill levels, making it a great opportunity to meet other music enthusiasts and share your favorite tracks. With guidance readily available, it's an ideal setting to dive into the world of vinyl DJing without any pressure. Plus, it's free, so there's no reason not to give it a try.
From the organizer
All people of all levels of familiarity with vinyl DJing are invited, and guidance for the equipment will be readily available. Play a couple songs, chat about records and hear new music. Stay to practice blending, cutting, layering, and beatmatching. If you don’t have your own records and you’re interested in learning about vinyl DJing, you are welcome to spin ours!

Who'll Be There

Part II · The feel
The details organizers don't always put in the description — pulled from the room, the crowd, and what people remember afterward.
Dim and seated throughout. Intimate, slow-paced.
Designed for 3–6 people. Good group-of-friends territory.
