More Details
Ever wanted to jump behind the decks and play the music you think works best in the room? Now’s your chance. We’re opening up the booth to anyone keen to give DJing a go—no experience needed. Just RSVP with your name and email, show up on the night, and we’ll get you on the decks. You’ll be judged… but mostly cheered.
We’ve got pro gear and access to a massive music library via Tidal, so you’ll have everything you need to build a killer set. No need to bring USBs or crates—just bring your taste, your timing, and a sense of what makes the room tick.
Ding Dong Lounge is a rock dive bar. That means guitar-driven, drum-heavy, emotionally charged music that gets people moving. If your set sounds like a demolition site, it better be the kind of chaos the whole bar’s asking for. Otherwise, think about what builds…
