This Spring we took a leap of faith and gambled on the idea that the average DJ today needs not only a more personal and human presentation of helpful DJ information but also tools to help navigate life outside the DJ booth. It turns out we were right and our first edition of Level Up was an overwhelming success.
If you attended or supported in any capacity, thank you so much. If you weren’t able to make it, don’t stress, there will be more Level Up IRL events before you know it. In the mean time, we’re going to continue building the community and sharing information virtually until we can hang out again.
Our Discord server will function as a free hangout for anyone who wants to join and there’s a special tier where we’ll host panel discussions, archive content and provide additional premium resources. Join via LevelUp4DJs.com and don't miss our first virtual panel on 7/21/24!

“Impactful” doesn’t even begin to describe our talk with @Shortkut at this year’s Level Up. Short led us on a journey through the history of the Bay Area’s mobile DJ scene and his roots as a turntablist. When we got to discussing his recent stroke and recovery there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Watch the full talk at LevelUp4DJs on the media page.

I’ve got like 10gb of photos and hours upon hours of videos to go through but I wanted to share this impromptu magic moment that happened at this year’s Level Up conference. @SkratchBastid sat down with us on Monday for a great discussion and then absolutely BODIED the evening party at @TheGoldmark . He streamed Tuesday Morning Coffee from the venue and we thought we were sliding in for a group photo but everyone was too HYPE. 🙌🙌🙌
Tune in to Bastid’s streams on Tuesdays and we’ll see you at next year’s conference! 👊
