About the party

Acoustik Garden Lounge on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn hosts an open-deck night on Thursday, November 12, for DJs playing Afrobeats, Amapiano, Afro house, Afro-Latin and Latin house. DJs sign up and get 15-minute slots through the evening.

What to expect

A community open-decks night rather than a booked lineup: DJs who register online get priority, remaining slots are drawn at random, and late arrivals can still get a turn. The kitchen is open with food all night, and the listing mentions drink specials. My take: for DJs who want floor time and for friends who come to dance and support them.

Music and lineup

Afrobeats, Amapiano, Afro house and 3 step DJs are invited in the description, and the title adds Afro-Latin and Latin house. No DJs are named, since the lineup is built from sign-ups.

Before you go

21+, listed from 7 PM to 2 AM. Guests must RSVP and bring a valid ID. DJs can sign up online or at the event and pay a participation fee at the door; the venue provides a Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ controller (rekordbox, VirtualDJ and Serato with the right driver) and speakers, and DJs may bring their own controller but must bring headphones. Re-entry, coat check and accessibility are not stated.
