FAQ's:

Can you tell me more about this event?

Hello, thanks for contacting us! This is a fortnightly event featuring a lineup of DJs plus open slots available for novice DJs to sign up for on the day. There'll be six slots up for grabs from 7pm. Please be sure to register your interest to DJ via the DJ Registration ticket on the Resident Advisor event page so we know to expect you. You can find our latest information on our Resident Advisor promoter profile or our Linktree, which you can find on our profile.

What genres are accepted?

*This event is an exception - please follow the special edition genre format* The venue traditionally showcases the sounds of house and techno, favouring obscure minimal, acid, and deep tech sounds for the best crowd reception. Garage, disco, tech house, and, when the room's really heated, a touch of drum 'n' bass or hard techno can also perform well. Diversifying your collection is an excellent way to raise your skills to the next level, so give something new a shot!

How can I book an open slot?

Open slots are filled out on the day. Sign ups for open slots are from 7pm in person at the event via the sign up sheet at the venue. We recommend arriving as early as possible! Choose a slot and fill out all of the fields - if there are none available, stick around in case of an impromptu back to back or technical issues opening a last-minute slot. If you DJed the previous Open Decks event, or have been professionally booked in the past year, you should refrain from signing up.

What's the equipment setup?

The equipment setup is two Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2 players, an Allen & Heath Xone:92 mixer, and two Technics SL1200 MK2 turntables for the vinyl-inclined. Please bring your own music on a Rekordbox-compatible device or on vinyl with your stylus, and wired headphones.
