NEXT SHIFT: Techno Open Decks

ArtistMap by 6AM presents NEXT SHIFT, a free techno open decks night in Long Beach.

Long Beach has always had its own pulse. The DJs are here, the heads are here, the love for the music is here. What's been missing is a regular room where the community can step up, play, and connect. NEXT SHIFT is our way of building that room together with Alex's Bar, AlphaTheta, and Alderete Tequila.

The idea is simple: show up, sign up, play. Slots are 20 minutes, first come, first served. Whether you've been spinning for years or you're ready to play for a crowd for the first time, the decks are yours.

THE SOUND
Deep. Hypnotic. Groovy. Industrial. Hard. Every shade of techno is welcome. Read the room, build on the DJ before you, and take it somewhere.

THE GEAR
AlphaTheta is bringing the setup, so you get to play on professional, club-standard equipment. Bring your USB with your tracks ready to go.

THE PEOPLE
This night is about community first. Alex's Bar has been a Long Beach institution for years, and we're proud to bring techno to its stage. Alderete Tequila is on board for the night too, so raise a glass to the scene.
