Vortex Collective, founded this year, brings together enthusiasts of electronic music and art. This Friday, December 6th, they’re hosting their third event, Open Decks, at Club Dva Osam, Zagreb. The collective invites all DJs, regardless of their experience or skill level, to join them in creating a creative community built on support, education, and collaboration.
The goal of this event is to give aspiring DJs the opportunity to perform in a club setting using professional equipment, while also fostering connections within the community. Skill level or professional experience isn’t a prerequisite, the focus is on creating a safe space where artists can share their knowledge and skills with one another, receive constructive feedback, and grow as performers.
“We are inviting both new faces and seasoned experts from the electronic music scene to attend this event, connect with each other, exchange experiences and advice, and support this initiative!” the team at Vortex Collective explained, encouraging everyone interested to participate and seize this opportunity.
To ensure everyone gets a fair shot, sign-ups for time slots will take place on-site from 9 to 10 PM at Club Dva Osam. The DJ sets will start at 10 PM, each lasting 30 minutes. Artists from all genres of electronic music are welcome, and the only requirement is to bring a formatted USB compatible with Pioneer CDJs.
Vortex Collective has been doing a great job of expanding the local electronic music scene while emphasizing the importance of mutual support within the community as a key to collective success. Their previous two events, Dance of Colors, beautifully reflected these values. During these events, the collective’s resident DJs performed while local painters captured the energy and movement of the music on canvas, creating a dynamic fusion of sound and visuals.
If you’d like to support their upcoming event this Friday, tickets can be found here. Participation is free for DJs who sign up to perform.
