Lost Sundays And Dameeeela Are Hosting A First Nations Beginner DJ Workshop

Lost Sundays and Dameeeela will be hosting a beginners DJ workshop for First Nations artists on Sunday the 20th of November.

The session, hosted by DJ, producer, radio host Dameeeela will be completely free and teach the basics of DJing and the music industry to inspire and encourage a new generation of talent. The session will include beat matching techniques, how to apply filters, loops and hot cues, club equipment overview, advice on DJ tools, a Q&A on everything DJing and refreshments and complimentary access to Lost Sundays later that night to see Dameeeela apply the teaching in action.

The workshop is open to First Nations people aged 18 years and older and will be limited to eight participants.

Dameeeela's passionate rife for experimentation and diversity, both in her community work and DJ sets has already seen her rise to the upper-echelons of local underground dance and is one of the most adored and respected names in the country.

Dameeeeela is now beginning her fully fledged takeover of dance music, entering the world of production. The move acts as a monumental moment in Australian music, the beginning of an era for the local artist that is taking her from underground legend to national headline sensation. While this is a big call, her debut single The Shake Up featuring Tjaka is evidence of this.

It takes inspiration from Detroit house music pioneers alongside a recontextualisation of her culture, rhythms and melodies of her past. The single is an alarming piece of education that occurs on all dancefloors when played, one that engages audiences with its euphoric energy, while connecting them deeply with the land in which they’re partying on
