Facebook Event

 

Welcome to ANU! This event is part of the ANU Student Association’s O-Week program. We’re so excited to meet you.

This free DJ workshop is intended for beginners. You don’t need any previous music or equipment knowledge to participate! It’s also open to anyone looking to practice mixing and make new DJ friends in a friendly environment.

The workshop will kick off with Canberra-based DJ friends sharing the basics of DJing: what the buttons do, how to mix tracks together, how to beat-match and so on. Following that, you’ll get a chance to play around what you’ve just learnt. The workshop will finish with a casual panel discussion on topics like organising your music, the Canberra music scene and where to borrow gear.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which this event takes place, the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples. We pay our respects to Elders past present and emerging, and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.

You do not need to prepare anything or bring anything for the workshop. However, if you’d like to experiment with music of your choice, bring a USB with your songs loaded onto it using the free program Rekordbox. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to do that.

This is an autonomous event, open to any student who identifies as a person of colour. Borrowing from the ANUSA Ethnocultural department, we define ‘person of Colour’ as students who self-identify as being from a minority racial or ethnic origin, with a common experience of facing systemic racism. This definition includes, but it is not strictly limited to: mixed-race or bi-racial people, people who are white-passing (i.e. are perceived to be white due to skin colour and other identifying features), and are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.

Dietary requirements can be made known during registration. The event takes place at the ANU Union bar in the ANU Union building, which is accessible by wheelchair. Chairs can be provided during the event. Accessible parking spaces are near toad hall.
