🎧 What are Open Decks?
Open Decks is a weekly event where DJs of all levels can come and practice, experiment, and perform live. It’s a safe and supportive environment to test new techniques, try out tracks, and improve your skills in front of a friendly audience. Whether you’re preparing for gigs or just want to jam, Open Decks gives you the space and time to explore your sound.

🎛️ Equipment
- CoffeeStage: Standard setup is 2x XDJ-1000MK1 + DJM-750MK2 / DJM-700
- MainStage: Standard setup is 2x XDJ-1000MK2 + DJM-2000 / DJM-750MK2 / Xone:96
- After CoffeeStage closes (usually at 22:00), its players are moved to MainStage, so MainStage then has 4 decks.
- For vinyl DJs, we can prepare a couple of Omnitronic DD-5250 turntables, please contact us in advance
- Your USB must be FAT32 formatted with tracks prepared in Rekordbox
- XDJ-1000MK1 does not support FLAC. We reserve the right to assign equipment as needed; please plan accordingly. Converting FLAC to another compatible format it is generally more universal and works across different player models.
- Recording: We have the option to record your set, if you’re interested, just let us know before your set
