“Amazing. I came here with zero experience on CDJs or anything off laptop. I forgot headphones and the boys sorted me out, really responsive. I’ve had a crack on the 2000s and 3000s – much fun – really loud haha! 10/10 – such a good spot to upskill on CDJs or blast the music as loud as you want without the neighbours complaining.”
