Future Beats: DJing, Music, Tech and AI

Could a computer be the next superstar DJ? How will technology shape the music we create, play and experience in the future?

Join us for a hands-on DJ workshop exploring the future of music production, DJing and the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence.

Designed for young people with an interest in music, technology and creativity, this interactive session combines practical DJ skills with discussions about how new technologies are changing the music industry.

Learn the basics of mixing tracks and creating seamless transitions using professional DJ equipment, then discover how AI is already being used to help create music, recommend playlists and support artists in the studio. Together, we'll explore both the opportunities and challenges that emerging technologies bring for musicians, DJs and music fans.

Whether you're a complete beginner or already experimenting with music production, this workshop will give you the chance to get hands-on, ask questions and imagine what the future of music could sound like.

Recommended for: teenagers and young adults interested in music, technology, creativity and the digital world.
