Always wanted to learn to DJ? Now's your chance! We're beyond excited to host two of our favorite Los Angeles-based DJ's, who will be showing you the fundamentals of DJing. You'll learn how to find and format music for DJing, as well as beatmatch on Pioneer CDJ's, an industry-standard piece of equipment that plays digital music.

This event prioritizes all marginalized genders, including but not limited to trans women, cis women, trans men, non-binary, intersex, gender nonconforming, two-spirit and questioning folx. We ask that our cis male allies and friends respectfully do not sign up, as we recognize that electronic music is overwhelmingly dominated by cis men.
