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.

We are pleased to announce our very guest speaker will be Jesse Hawk. Jesse Hawk is someone who truly lives and breathes electronic music. With over 25 years behind the decks, he’s rooted in the raw warehouse sounds of 90s Milwaukee, Chicago, and LA. From throwing his legendary SWERVE nights in El Paso (and even launching PUSH Records to support the local vinyl scene) to holding it down in Cleveland, Jesse has always built community wherever he is. Now honing his craft in live hardware performance, he’s bringing even more intention and control to his sound. Whether DJing or performing live, Jesse knows how to set the tone and carry a room.

Come be a part of our growing community!
