Open Sessions - Free open decks event at Pirate Birmingham

### OPEN SESSIONS in Pirate Birmingham!

Join us on the last Thursday of every month from 6PM-9PM, we open the doors to our DJ studios and DJs of all levels and all genres are invited to come and play B2B. When you arrive, sign up for your 15 min set and show us your best blends.

By signing up to play, you are agreeing to follow our code of conduct and show good “B2B Etiquette.”

What is Pirate’s B2B Etiquette?

Be punctual: Ensure you are at the side of the decks when it is your slot time. Have your USB and headphones ready to go. Make sure your last track is quite a long one so the DJ after you has time to transition.

Be creative: Show us your favorite transitions, use this time as an opportunity to showcase tracks that you may not play in other environments, and try out new things.

Be considerate: Don’t hog the booth; the slots are 15 minutes each, and it is strictly 1 set per person. We want as many DJs to be able to play as possible, so please stick to your time slot.

Be kind: Our open decks are for DJs in all stages of their journey, from pros to beginners. Be supportive of each other and be patient; if you see someone who needs a little extra encouragement, be compassionate. Here at Pirate, we want to build communities that are inclusive and give people space to grow and learn.

Be respectful: Our Pirate staff are here to ensure that every guest at Pirate has a positive experience. We have a zero-tolerance policy for abuse of any kind towards our team.

We want you, and the rest of the Pirate community, to have the best possible experience using our facilities. We want to be good neighbours and members of the community. To help us achieve our goal of having a brilliant and safe community environment, we ask that you stick to a few ‘house rules’ when using Pirate Studios. You can read more about our full ‘house rules’ here.
