Thursday, Nov 5 AFROBEATS / AMAPIANO / AFROHOUSE /AFROLATIN/ LATIN HOUSE: DJ OPEN DECK

About the party

An open-deck DJ night for Afrobeats, Amapiano, Afro House, Afro Latin and Latin House at Acoustik Garden Lounge on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, Thursday November 5. DICE credits AFROJAM as the presenter. DJs sign up to play short sets through the night, so the floor hears a rotating cast of selectors.

What to expect

A community night where DJs take turns behind the decks in 15-minute slots. DJs who register online get priority on a first-come basis; remaining slots are picked at random through the evening, and DJs get a heads-up before they play. The kitchen is open with food all night and drink specials. My take: good for DJs who want floor time and for dancers who enjoy hearing many styles in one night.

Music and lineup

Genres as listed: Afrobeats, Amapiano, Afro House and 3 step in the description, plus Afro Latin and Latin House in the title. There is no announced lineup, since the DJs come from sign-ups. The venue provides a Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ controller (rekordbox, VirtualDJ and Serato; Serato users need the matching driver), a Bose S1 Pro monitor and QSC K12.2 speakers. DJs may bring their own controller and must bring headphones.
