DJ ESSENTIALS / PASS IT FORWARD

READY FOR
YOUR NEXT SET.

Your first time in a new booth should feel like an opportunity. Here’s a practical place to start before you play NEXT UP.

Apply for NEXT UP

THE 25-MINUTE CHECKLIST

Come prepared. Stay yourself.

Build a set with a direction.

Practice a 25-minute run. Have an opening, room to move, and a clear finish. Bring a few alternatives so you can respond to the energy instead of locking yourself to a script.

Know your music.

Listen all the way through your selections and check your files before the night. Choose music that says something about your sound, and keep a backup of the music you plan to use.

Confirm the booth setup.

Ask the team about the available decks, mixer, file formats, and what you need to bring. Equipment and arrival details are coordinated directly; avoid assuming your usual setup will be there.

Respect the next DJ.

Be ready before your assigned time, keep your set to 25 minutes, and leave the booth ready for the next person. Your confirmation email has the slot; reply to the team if your availability changes.

You don’t need a perfect résumé to apply. A mix link is optional for NEXT UP. Tell us what you play and choose a Thursday; your time is confirmed by email after approval.
