Open Decks.

Every other Thursday afternoon, young DJs play open decks in the room. Bring your office along for a drink and stay as long as it's good. No entry fee, no fuss.

Want to play? Sign up.

Every other week, 19:00 to 23:30. DJs, live acts and everything in between, on your own or b2b. Two CDJ-3000s, a DJM-A9 and two Technics SL-1210 MK7s, running on the same system as Friday night.

The Thursdays are put together by Sonic Tonic Collective. Sign-ups go through their form; they do the booking and get back to you. Slots per edition are limited, but if you do not fit in this time you stay in mind for the next one.

Every edition is recorded and streamed; you get the video and audio of your own set afterwards.

Who has played

Over forty names, and it grows every time.

Some stood behind a set of decks here for the first time. Others come back every month. The order is alphabetical, because any other order would be unfair.

Tryout Thursday

Got an idea? Then the room is yours.

A talk, a listening session, a dinner, an exhibition, something you don't have a name for yet. From 25 people up we make the space available, 16:00 to 01:00. Free and not exclusive: others can walk in, and that's exactly the point.

Got an idea? Send it in.

Alongside the nights we programme ourselves, the room is open to people who want to do something with it. An exhibition, a workshop, a pop-up in the kitchen, an open mic, a listening session, a fundraiser, or something that does not have a name yet.

It does not have to be a finished plan. A first attempt is welcome; that is rather the point.

What you can use

  • The sound system and the DJ equipment
  • The bar and the tables
  • Wall space to hang work
  • Screen and projector
  • The kitchen, in consultation

When

  • Weekdays, daytime or evening
  • The occasional weekend, those are scarce
  • From an afternoon to a whole night
