Open Decks

An open decks event is a gathering where DJs of all skill levels are invited to bring their own vinyl  and showcase their talents and music on the turntables. It is a great opportunity for aspiring DJs to gain exposure and experience, and for music enthusiasts to enjoy a variety of styles and genres. These events often have a relaxed and communal atmosphere, with a focus on creativity and collaboration. Attendees can expect to hear a diverse range of music and discover new artists and sounds.

Dj Workshop

A "learn the old form of DJ techniques on vinyl" event is a workshop or session designed to teach aspiring DJs the traditional art of DJing using vinyl records. This type of event typically focuses on teaching techniques such as beatmatching, mixing, and manual cueing on turntables. Participants will have the opportunity to practice these techniques hands-on, with guidance and instruction from Dj Eclipse.

These events are a great way to learn the foundational skills of DJing and gain an appreciation for the history and craftsmanship of vinyl records. It can be a fun and educational experience for both beginner and intermediate DJs who are interested in mastering the classic techniques of DJing on vinyl.

Fundraising at events is a critical component to support their mission and goals. Through the generosity of donors and sponsors, we are able to raise vital funds that enable them to continue their important work and make a positive impact in our community. At our events, we provide various opportunities for attendees to contribute, whether through ticket sales, auctions, raffles, or direct donations. The support we receive not only helps them financially but also fosters a sense of community and shared purpose among our supporters.
