Inclusive DJ events at DBA spotlight emerging talent, champion diversity, support underrepresented groups, and reinvest income into accessible events through grassroots collaboration and community-focused programming.
DJ club proposes an exciting series of events that celebrate inclusivity and diversity within the local music scene. They work with emerging DJs from underrepresented groups, including women, LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled creators, and BIPOC performers, providing them with a platform to showcase their talent. DJ Club events were born from an open deck format – moving into larger scale events aims to break down barriers preventing artists from taking their skills and passion to the next level by offering a fair and transparent path to live performance. By platforming emerging artists with established talent for events, these artists gain valuable exposure and experience. This approach nurtures a diverse and exciting talent pipeline, strengthening both regional and national music scenes.
DJ Club are committed to creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, opting for grassroots venues that are accessible, making sure all attendees can enjoy the experience comfortably and safely. This includes offering tiered ticket pricing with free entry options for those who need it, removing financial barriers and encouraging a diverse range of people to attend, championing inclusivity and fostering the growth of a loyal and engaged community.
Whether you’re an artist, performer or music lover, DJ Club events are a space where creativity, equality, and connection take centre stage.
