A recent open day/workshop was a vibrant testament to the academy's mission, as aspiring and seasoned DJs alike gathered to share beats, exchange knowledge, and strengthen the ever-growing community around the DJ arts. "These open days are more than just workshops - they’re about creating community," expressed DJ Azuhl, head of the BeatBangaz DJ Academy. "From networking and exchanging ideas to sharing skills and inspiration, our goal is to preserve and elevate the DJ arts while providing a welcoming platform for both emerging talent and seasoned pros." The energy within the Tiny Warehouse was palpable, with the sounds of scratching, mixing, and enthusiastic discussion filling the air. Despite the inclement weather outside, the warmth and camaraderie inside were undeniable. "The warmth inside that room couldn’t be matched -beats were shared, knowledge exchanged, and a community strengthened," stated an enthusiastic DJ Ready D, world-renowned DJ and CEO of G-CAP.
