To host an open decks event at Lost Lands Festival, 2023.
Where & When:
Camp, Village Market Place Stage, and whichever else establishment sees fit—September 19th to September 24th.
How:
Our team will begin setup as soon as allowed by Lost Lands Festival. The order of performance will be determined on a first-come, first-served signup basis. Each performer has designated a 30-minute time slot with no exceptions. In addition to our open decks, we will host a Q&A discussion led by established industry-type guests on Friday and Saturday before the following open decks’ session. Our final open deck session will be Sunday.
Why:
Our goal is to create a safe, respectful space for all up-and-coming performers who have a passion for the art but do not have the opportunity to be seen and heard. From the bedroom producers to the house party DJs, this event will allow those up-and-coming talents to shine for and show their artistic personalities. Through our event, we hope to inspire others and show our support for the future undiscovered talent.

Pair of Pioneer CDJ 3000, 4 Channel Pioneer Mixer, Full DJ Booth with light rig. 1 Stage monitor 2 Top Speakers and 2 Subs. 1 generators.
What We Are Requesting:
