OPEN DECKS CHAPEL ALLERTON

It’s the perfect excuse to meet fellow music lovers, jump on the decks, or simply settle in with a drink, a toastie, and enjoy an evening of tunes.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro, a bedroom DJ with neighbours who are thoroughly sick of hearing the same transitions, or a 50-something ex-raver clinging gloriously to your youth, you’re very welcome.

And just to be clear — despite the name, you absolutely do not need to be a DJ to come along. We welcome civilians too. Bring your mates, grab a drink, soak up the music, and if the mood strikes… have a little boogie.

Booking a DJ Slot

The booking button above will become active on the Sunday before the event (8pm). We’ll also post an announcement on Instagram and Facebook, so it’s a case of fastest finger first! Sorry, but we’re unable to pre-book Dj slots.

If you are lucky enough to bag a slot, you will have 25 minutes on the decks with 10 slots available on the night, starting at 6.45 until the last slot at 10.30. We appreciate it's not always possible, but It would be great if all DJs could get there early and show support for the others and not just turn up for your go.

Equipment

We have two direct-drive turntables and a Pioneer XDJ RX3 all-in-one console. The turntables are connected to the Pioneer and there is no dedicated mixer. If you are using the Pioneer, please prepare your music using Rekordbox software: https://rekordbox.com/en/download.

We do have headphones but feel free to bring your own.

Music Style

Our main focus is on dance and electronic music — anything that lends itself well to mixing. That said, we're happy to hear some other styles, Hip Hop, Funk, Disco, Motown, Drum & Bass are all welcome.

We draw the line at chart music, country and western, death metal, K-Pop... we've probably missed a few genres but you get the picture!
