WHO WE ARE
Love music? Want to learn how to DJ, improve your skills, meet other music lovers, or get more involved in Birmingham’s nightlife? You’re in the right place.
Aston DJ Society (ADJ) is a community for DJs, aspiring DJs, music producers and anyone with a passion for music.
Whether you’ve never touched a set of decks before or you’re already confident behind the CDJs, everyone is welcome. Our aim is to give members a relaxed, friendly space to learn, practise, share music and meet people with similar interests.
And you definitely don’t have to be a DJ to join.
If you’re interested in discovering Birmingham’s nightlife, finding new music, swapping production tips, meeting people to go to events with or simply expanding your music taste, Aston DJ Society is for you.
House? Hip-hop? Garage? Drum & bass? Techno? Afrobeats? Disco? Nightcore? Gabber? Something we’ve never even heard of?
No judgement here.
Our members listen to and play a huge range of music, and we’re always excited to discover something new.
Throughout the year, we’ll be organising DJ sessions, socials, club nights, events and collaborations with other Aston clubs and societies, giving you plenty of opportunities to get involved, make friends and become part of Birmingham’s music scene.
WEEKLY MIX SESSIONS
Want to learn how to DJ or just get some time behind the decks?
Our regular Open Decks and Mix Sessions give members the chance to practise, experiment and learn in a friendly environment.
If you’re a beginner, we can help you get started with the fundamentals of DJing — from understanding the equipment and cueing tracks to beatmatching, transitions and building your first mix.
Already know your way around the decks? Come along, practise on our equipment, try out new mixes and meet other DJs.
And if you don’t want to DJ at all, that’s completely fine too. Come down, meet the society and talk music, events, production and nightlife with us.
Keep an eye on our socials for the latest dates, times and locations.
