Over The Hump OPEN DECKS and DJ Workshop

Over The Hump Open Decks is more than just open decks, it is a space for connection, collaboration, and shared learning with the Cleveland DJ community.
Whether you’re just interested in learning about DJing and looking to get started, taking your first steps behind the decks, refining your craft, or looking to meet other like-minded individuals who are passionate about music, everyone is welcomed to learn from one another in this inclusive space. Our volunteer mentors are available throughout the night to offer guidance, answer questions, and help you to explore the club equipment and the creative elements offered by the Pioneer V10 and CDJs.
Attendees are welcomed to bring their own laptops and equipment for hands-on assistance with Rekordbox/Serato, music organization, tutorials, etc. Each month will also feature a DJ guest speaker from the Cleveland community to share their journey, philosophy, and advice for developing artists and DJs.
Over The Hump Open Decks connects individuals to a growing collective of mentors and peers dedicated to supporting curiosity, creativity, and growth in electronic music culture. We learn and grow best when we explore together.
Come be a part of our community!
Radiating vibrant energy, LOLO KNOWS is a dynamic force in the music scene, seamlessly fusing an array of genres that span decades. Her electrifying sets draw from the rich sounds of early disco, the infectious beats of hip hop, and the timeless grooves of Motown, all while incorporating the pulsating rhythms and the soul of house. This unique blend creates an unforgettable atmosphere that captivates audiences wherever she performs. Originally from Brooklyn, LOLO has made significant contributions to the cultural landscape of Cleveland and Akron over the past 22 years, hosting the iconic Dirty Disco at the Foundation Room Cleveland and currently serving as the resident DJ at Akron's Baxter’s Speakeasy. As Ohio's first Afro-Latin House artist, LOLO has solidified her status as a trailblazer in the house and techno scenes. Her influence extends to Detroit, where she has played at esteemed venues like TV Lounge, The High Dive, and Friends Cocktail Lounge on 8 Mile, as well as being a key participant in the Charivari Detroit Music Festival. She has also showcased her talent at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, garnering a dedicated following of collectors in the city. In 2024, LOLO achieved a significant milestone by winning a DJ mix competition, earning her a coveted spot at Miami Music Week's opening shows for Deep Tech LA. She has had the honor of sharing the stage with legendary artists such as Terrence Parker, DJ Minx, Osunlade, Ron Trent, Rimarkable, Soul Goodman, Delano Smith, Rissa Garcia, and more recently, Gettoblaster, Devon James, Donald Glaude, SillyGirlCarmen, and WAAJEED. After a decade of leading the LoLo Knows Radio Network, she ventured into music production, releasing her first EP on December 15, 2023, through Import Tracks in NYC. Following that success, her second EP, "What’s That Feeling," also released on Import Tracks, quickly climbed the charts, appearing on 14 Traxsource charts, including a remarkable number 1 on the Tech House chart and a spot in the top 200 Tech House tracks of 2024. It was also featured in the Best of May, June, and July 2024. In 2023, LOLO took her Club Kid Dirty Disco show to new heights by joining Deep Space Radio, a global 24/7 radio platform based in Detroit and Atlanta.
