The DJs Using Pirate East London
South London DJs: Learn, Play & Level Up at DEX in Dalston
A monthly open-decks night bringing DJs together from across London.
Hosted at Pirate Dalston, DEX is a free open-decks night and beginner-friendly DJ workshop where new DJs take their first steps, hobbyists refine their mixes, and experienced selectors jump on for fast, friendly back-to-back sessions.
Bring your USB, play a 20-minute set, get hands-on guidance, and meet DJs from across London — including Croydon, Earlsfield, Greenwich, and beyond. It’s a chance to learn in person, share ideas, and plug into the wider Pirate DJ community in a supportive, no-pressure space.

The Heart of South London’s DJ & Electronic Scene
Shaped by local collectives, independent venues and DIY energy
South London’s electronic music scene is built from the ground up. Areas like Croydon, Brixton, Peckham, Deptford, New Cross and Greenwich have long supported DJs through community-led nights, local promoters, pop-ups and spaces that value experimentation, sound and connection over hype.
In Croydon, regular club nights, pop-up events and shared spaces give DJs opportunities to test new material and build confidence in front of real crowds. Across the rest of South London, independent venues such as Corsica Studios, Phonox, Brixton Jamm, Peckham Audio and Venue MOT anchor a wider network of collectives and crews pushing electronic music forward.
Pirate’s South London DJ studios in Croydon, Earlsfield and Greenwich sit within that ecosystem, giving DJs a reliable home base to practise regularly, refine mixes and prepare for gigs, supporting the behind-the-scenes work that keeps South London’s scene moving.

Local Favourites Across South London
If you’re heading in or out of a session in Croydon, Boxpark Croydon is the obvious default — quick food, familiar faces, and enough noise to ease you back into the city. When you need the opposite, Wandle Park is a solid reset: quiet paths, open space, and a few minutes to clear your head before the next booking.
Around Greenwich, Greenwich Market is an easy in-and-out for street food and coffee without losing time, while Greenwich Park gives you space to slow things down — especially useful if you’re coming off a long session and need a breather.
In Earlsfield, most people drift along Earlsfield High Street, cafés, takeaways and low-key pubs that work around evening sessions without trying too hard. If you want something calmer, King George’s Park is close enough for a short walk and far enough from the rush to properly switch off.
