About this Event

You’re Invited to DEX

DEX is Pirate’s free open decks night at Pirate Silver Lake,, running every other month on the last Thursday from 7–10PM.

It’s a welcoming community event where DJs of all levels are invited to jump on the decks, sign up for a 20-minute set (first come, first served), and connect with other DJs across all genres. Whether you’re a seasoned selector or just starting out, you’ll get hands-on time in the booth, plus the option to take part in the Beginner DJ Workshop.

Don’t forget! Bring a USB loaded with tunes and headphones.

Not a DJ? Come through anyway! Music lovers are encouraged to attend, hang out, and catch a vibe.
