Workshop


In partnership with Hamilton Artists Inc., we have organized workshop series consists of three monthly workshop, facilitated by Dunaway and Peachface Lovedeep. 

What worked—in the form of questions?


  • Do you think [your city] is a musical city? What’s the first thing when you think about when you think about music in [your city]?
  • What are your listening habits? Where do you listen music? How do you describe your relationship with music?
  • How has your musical life changed throughout the years?
  • “DJs are just celebrities-wannabes”?
  • What do you think a DJ does? What separtes a good and a okay DJ?

DJing as communication, DJing as musical journalism

  • Between radio, dance, selector, knowledge (”in-focus”) sessions, how do you describe your sound in relation to what kind of DJ you are, or you can be?
