Open Decks with Mark Shadow [Vinyl Only]

Join Mark Shadow & friends at The Greyhound, Peckham on Wednesday 9th December for a free, vinyl-only open decks session in the venue’s basement.

This is a night for DJs, collectors and vinyl lovers of all levels. Whether you’re an experienced selector, a bedroom DJ testing new material, or playing out for the first time, this is a safe and welcoming space to share your records on a proper club setup.

How it works:

6 slots are available, each lasting 30 minutes.

Sign up on arrival by writing your name on a piece of paper and adding it to the draw bowl.

Names will be drawn throughout the event to decide the running order.

Duos can play B2B, but the slot remains 30 minutes.

The booth features 2 x Technics SL-1210 turntables, an Allen & Heath Xone:92 mixer, cartridges/needles and a Martin Audio sound system.

Please bring your own vinyl (of course) and headphones.

Music policy: Strictly vinyl only. House, deep house, tech house, minimal, electro and garage are welcome. Diggers are free to explore their collections, but please keep selections within these guidelines. No R&B or drum & bass, and nothing too heavy or far from the night’s sound. Remember you are also playing for the room, not only to yourself.

Please respect the space, equipment and people around you. Leave the decks as you find them, don’t leave records behind, and be open to new sounds. Racism, homophobia, sexism or any form of discrimination will not be tolerated.

Free entry. For updates and future events, join Mark Shadow’s WhatsApp channel.

If you’d like to support the night, we’ve added a few Community Support Tickets at £3 + RA fee. These are completely optional, every contribution helps us keep making events like this happen.

Be nice. Be cool. Be unusual.
