SET Open Decks – Weekly DJ Open Booth Nights

SET Open Decks is a weekly night at SET Social where the booth is open for everyone. The format is simple. If you want to play, just turn up and put your name in the hat. Slots are 30 minutes long and drawn at random throughout the night. There is no setlist, no booking, and no pressure to perform. It’s a casual space to jump on club-standard equipment, play back-to-back, or test new material. The night is as much about listening as it is about playing. Whether you’re behind the decks, learning by watching, or just there for the music and the atmosphere, everyone is welcome. We also host occasional informal workshops covering technical skills, library organisation, and industry tips. Keep an eye on @set.social.peckham for announcements. Event details When: Regular Wednesdays: 9.30pm–midnight Every third Wednesday: 6pm–midnight Bring your gear: Vinyl or USB is welcome. Who’s it for: Open to everyone, from first-time DJs to experienced selectors, and anyone who wants to drop by and listen.Admission: Free. Check in with the hosts in the Red Bar when you arrive.
