This is a taster session and requires no previous mixing ability.

RepresentAsian’s teachers: 

Yusuf Suave (co-founder of RepresentAsian) began DJing in Bristol as The Sultan back in 2009. After a back-to-back set with Roni Size at Bristol Beacon, he quickly made a name for himself playing regularly across Bristol, Manchester and London, as well as numerous festivals. Alongside his Top Rankin’ night and radio show on SWU FM, he’s also appeared on 1Xtra, KISS FM and BBC Asian Network. 

For promotional purposes 

RepresentAsian is partnering with the Asian Arts Agency to offer tailored taster DJ workshops, to tackle the under representation of DJs from the South Asian community.  We are looking to inspire, engage, educate and introduce South Asian people in Bristol to the art of DJing with in-person taster workshops.  This is an opportunity for you to gain historical knowledge, best practices and values of the DJ scene as well as some practical, hands-on time with the decks in a studio environment. 

We are welcoming applications from anyone between the ages of 18-30 and from the South Asian community living in Bristol or within a 10 mile radius.
