After the outstanding success of last spring, on Tuesday, December 9, from 6 PM to 11 PM, we’re launching the second edition of Techno Symposium / Open Decks at Turbina Kulturális Központ.

We’ve strengthened our collaboration with Radish Radio, an initiative that shares our core values, as we continue expanding the platform to offer new voices in the scene real opportunities and space to express themselves.
We keep celebrating the beautiful diversity of our community and aim to make it even stronger.

Our goal is to create a positive, inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels safe, valued, and celebrated.

This event is an opportunity for beginner DJs from all backgrounds who share our commitment to respect and inclusivity to be heard.

Four participants – alongside one BAS resident – will be selected from all applicants to play a one-hour set in the Klubszoba room, using professional equipment and performing in front of everyone attending the event.

This time, CDJs, vinyl, and hybrid setups are all welcome to apply!

This call is open to those who:
• are able to perform a one-hour set using professional equipment (CDJs and mixer);
• have played no more than three official events (events with professional gear and payment for the performance);
• are experienced with digital players but want to challenge themselves publicly with turntables.

This is not a contest.
It’s a real, concrete, professional space — to step forward, to grow, to be heard, and to share your music.

The BAS crew will be present throughout the performances to offer technical and organizational support if needed.

How to apply:
• Fill out the form at this link by November 16: [https://docs.google.com/…/1Mme0wQ2IWImuaJSocVd4iUe…/edit].

• Include a link to a DJ set that best represents the kind of music you’d like to play (your podcast must be submitted via the form).
We’ll select 4 artists (solo or B2B) based on the applications received and the overall coherence of the lineup.
The results will be announced by November 23.

In addition, 5 application podcasts will be chosen to be streamed on Radish Radio and later released on its SoundCloud channel. (These 5 podcasts may or may not coincide with those selected for the Open Decks, depending on the artistic direction of the lineup.)

All aspiring DJs are welcome to attend and apply.
Priority, though not exclusively, will be given to those who have already participated in one or more Techno Symposium events.

We believe in the power of sharing.
We want to offer space to those who have talent but fewer opportunities — contributing to a more open, inclusive, and vibrant scene.
