About this Event

Always on aux duty? Time to level up.

JAMA'A Sound Lab is a hands-on DJ and music production workshop open to complete beginners, built for anyone who has ever wanted to turn their love for music into a real creative skill. No experience needed. No equipment required. Just show up ready to learn.

This month's session is led by JAMA'A member Sam Chimes (@SamChimes), a professional DJ and live looping artist, alongside co-facilitators sharing their own journeys in DJing and music production. Together they create a supportive, low-pressure environment where you are on professional gear from the very first minute.
