OPEN DECKS // EVERY TUESDAY @ THIRD ROOM – FREE!

Open Decks is Third Room's weekly Tuesday night for DJs of all levels. Bring a formatted USB, sign up when you arrive, and get a 15-minute set on a full CDJ setup with the house sound system. The format is open to anyone — beginners finding their footing, regulars honing a new style, and seasoned selectors who just want to play in front of a room.

There are no featured headliners; the bill is built entirely from whoever shows up with a drive and something to say. Past nights have seen everything from drum & bass to house to hip-hop to experimental electronics depending on who rolls through — the vibe shifts entirely with the crowd.

Show at 8pm. 21+. Free admission. Details at thirdroom.art.
