While singer-songwriters and instrumentalists have long had open mics to get their foot into the live performance world, those spaces aren’t exactly conducive to DJs. But the TRVST Open Desk, a new weekly showcase that launched the final week in January, is essentially an open mic for DJs. Hosted by KosMos the Afronaut and SAV, local performers are given 30-minute blocks to showcase their sound — all styles and genres welcome (interested DJs can reach out to KosMos and SAV on Instagram to claim a spot on the lineup). The hope is that Open Decks can become a go-to spot where DJs can showcase what they’ve been working on while mingling with their peers in the scene and creating a free dance party anyone can enjoy.
