Avett Brothers Afterparty w/ Cliffside Push
Cliffside Push is the Northeast’s ultimate live Phish experience. Formed by a supergroup of all-star regional musicians, the band brings Vermont's finest quartet to life with machine-gun shredding and down-and-dirty funk. Featuring Wiley Griffin on guitar, Jordan Giangreco on keys, Alex Wu on bass, and Suman Mitra on drums, this group nails the complex rhythms and exploratory jams that fans love.
Internet Tears
Hailing from Connecticut, rising indie pop band Internet Tears has already begun to win over fans throughout the New York tri-state area and beyond with its infectious, glowing sound, establishing its path to becoming one of the most promising new groups on the scene today.
Comprising Daniel Louis (Vocals), Ben Kubie (Drums), Mike Dorrico (Guitar), Esteban Rivera (Bass) the band incorporates nostalgic nods to pop-rock, synth-punk and SynthWave bands of the ‘80s and ‘90s, as well as influences from acts like Neon Trees and The 1975, in its irresistible compositions. Lyrically, the group explores themes such as self-empowerment and relationships, providing listeners with access to revealing and deeply personal confessions.
Internet Tears dropped its self-titled debut EP in 2021, and followed the project’s release with a variety of popular singles, including “Over me?” and “Okay” ft. Smerkk.
Crash the Decks: Exhibition Round – DJ vs. Drummer Battle
Crash the Decks returns to Stella Blues for an electrifying Exhibition Round, bringing together teams of DJs and live drummers for an unforgettable battle of rhythm, creativity, and improvisation.
Unlike the bracket-style Crash the Decks Tournament, this one-night-only Exhibition Round is a standalone competition where each team goes head-to-head for the title. Expect high-energy performances, genre-bending mixes, explosive live percussion, and a crowd-fueled atmosphere as competitors push their skills to the limit.
This event also serves as a preview of what's to come, building momentum toward the return of a full Crash the Decks New Haven Tournament in 2027.
Whether you're a fan of electronic music, live drumming, or just love seeing talented performers battle it out on stage, this is a show you won't want to miss.

OPEN DECKS CT
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!
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.

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!
