bbg is a brighton-based collective of djs who want to platform each other as non-binary, trans, women, queer and gender non-conforming folk within electronic music. we run regular beginner’s dj workshops, open-decks, and host a monthly radio show featuring women + gender minority djs from across east sussex.
what we’re up to:
bbg basics
in autum 2023 we ran our first 6-week long bbg basics course, which was an introduction to djing for women + gender minorities. the course sold out and was a huge success, with all participants going on to perform at a sold out evening. stay tuned for more courses to come in 2024 <3
come find us at our monthly open decks, on the 2nd thursdayy of the month from 8-12:00am at the actors. entry is free, slots are 15-30 minutes each depending on numbers. open decks slots are for specifically gender minorities and women, but we welcome all to come along and enjoy the music. slip ups and clunky moments very much welcomed, we're all learning and are embracing collaboration > perfection ❤️ the venue has step-free access, gender neutral toilets, and an accessible toilet.

say hello
we are always looking for djs and electronic artists who would be interested in continuing to build our non-hierarchical network. we are planning inclusive club nights, radio shows, and workshops that will help others learn how to DJ and make electronic music. we want to build safer clubbing cultures and accessible learning spaces where people feel encouraged to experiment, play, collaborate and celebrate one another.
if you wish to join us on this mission - you don’t need to live in Brighton! - please get in touch via the contact form below :-)
drop us a line if you’re a dj - experienced, novice or total beginner; electronic music artist; designer; photographer; events organiser; or if you have any other fab talents that you think could help build bbg. we hope to provide a platform and space for as many gender minority, queer and women artists as we can <3
