CT Open Decks (NEW NOVEMBER DATE)
CT Open Decks is a monthly, house music-focused open decks and networking event. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for new and up-and-coming house DJs to play out live, and to help grow and connect the house music scene in CT!
(This event will be back to Weds. night next month 12/10)
How Sign-ups work
In-person sign-ups for the following month will be available at each event before they open online.
If those slots are not filled, we will open online sign-ups for the remaining slots.
Your best chance of getting a slot is to attend the next event and sign up in person (get there early)!
HOW online sign-ups WORK
Go to the SIGN UP page and fill out the form
Read the considerations and click the button at the bottom of the page to continue to the sign up form. Sign-ups are handled by a third party service.
Select the slot you want and fill out the form.
Show up and play!
dj, dancer? come network!
CT Open Decks was created with the goal of growing the CT house music scene by providing more opportunities for DJs to play, as well for fans of house music to come dance and find their new favorite sound! So whether you’re a DJ, a dancer, or just love the vibes, we encourage you to come through and meet your people!
CONSIDERATIONS:
important! read this before signing up!
This is a house-music-focused event. While we love all kinds of dance music, the goal of this event is to help grow the house scene in CT and help house DJs, fans, and promoters meet and network with each other. We understand that genres aren’t an exact science, they bend and blend — we aren’t going to micromanage your set, but generally, please make sure you are playing house music if you sign up. This is not a bass music, dubstep, techno, or open format event.
A Pioneer Opus Quad and an XDJ will be available at the event. To use the Opus Quad, you MUST bring a Rekordbox USB using the Device Library Plus format. If you are unsure if your USB is using the correct library format, please refer to OUR TUTORIAL PAGE. If your USB does not work, and you have no backup solution, your slot will be given to someone else. If you are unsure if your USB will work, you should sign up for the back room and use the XDJ.
The event runs from 8pm - 12:30am
Sets are 45 mins long. There are 12 slots available at the next event, split between a front and back room.
We do not currently offer turntables for vinyl (but we’re working on it). Please do not bring your own turntables.
Please arrive at least 15 min prior to your set. Time is limited, and if you do not show up by your assigned start time, your slot may be given to someone else.
The event occurs at Stella Blues in New Haven, CT (204 Crown St.)
While we encourage new DJs to get familiar with a Pioneer setup, you are welcome to bring and use your own controller; but it must be set up and ready to go by the time your set starts. Any time spent setting up beyond that point will eat into your set time. Sets will not be extended. You can connect via RCA into the decks. We will provide XLR and RCA connections, if you require a different setup, make sure to bring the appropriate cables and/or adapters with you, or you will not be able to play.
Don’t forget your headphones!

Tuesday Night Open Mic
Open Mic FAQs
When does it start?
Our open mic happens every Tuesday night. The signup sheet goes up at 8:30 PM, and the music starts around 8:45 PM with a house band jam to get things warmed up. Performer slots follow immediately after.
Can I sign up in advance?
No—signups are in person only and first come, first served. If you miss the initial list, don’t worry—we’ll do our best to get you some stage time during one of our open jam slots.
How long is each set?
Each performer gets 10–15 minutes on stage. You don’t have to fill the full time—just bring your voice, your instrument, or your vibe.
What equipment is available?
We’ve got a full backline available for open mic performers, including:
Drum kit
Guitar amp
Bass amp
Microphones and mic stands
Our house band is also happy to back you up—just let us know what you need. We encourage you to bring your own instrument (other than drums).
Are there open jam opportunities?
Yes! Open jams run from 10:00–10:30 PM and again from 12:00–12:45 AM. If you didn’t make the signup list, these are great chances to jump in and play—we’ll do our best to fit you in.
Can performing at open mic lead to a full booking?
Yes. We’re always listening. If the crowd is feeling it and you’re bringing the energy, don’t be surprised if we invite you back for a full set.
