ANNOUNCING: The People’s 4-Week Vinyl DJ workshop hosted by Malcolm Flex - starting May 10th
DJing didn’t start in VIP booths — it was born in basements, block parties, and through resistance. From disco to house, to techno, working-class communities have always transformed sound waves into uplifting cultural movements. Now it’s your turn!
Join us for a 4-week hands-on course that reclaims the turntables as tools of collective expression. Learn the fundamentals of vinyl mixing, beat matching, crate digging, and how to build your own sound - all in a space that centers community and creativity. No gatekeeping. No gimmicks. Just shared skills, deep cuts, and space for you to experiment and grow.
@chicagoliberationcenter (2712 W Cermak Rd) $50 for 4 in-person sessions (2 hours each)
All skill levels welcome — especially absolute beginners Max 6 spots — first come, first serve.
Come to learn, create, and keep DJ music culture alive — together on the 1s and 2s.
