weDJ is more than a DJ show!

We’re here to make music accessible through DJing.

Most importantly, we aim to provide this for FREE.

Since the creation of weDJ in 2024 – when On The Rise DJ Academy and Westend DJ collaborated on London’s first DJ Expo in over a decade – we have held an OPEN DECKS session and All Women Ableton Workshop at RichMix in East London, DJ workshops in Central Northwest London for FREE. We’ve also taken over G-Shock radio to spread the weDJ vibe and give our community the opportunity to connect with their audience.

As with everything I do at On The Rise, I wanted to both create something for our DJ community where they can learn, network and play, but also invite new DJ’s and producers in… to be part of this exciting and welcoming community. With my partners at Westend DJ we are focused on providing people with access and resources to help step up their game or just get the most out of their hobby. We agreed that the best way to do this was to make this 2 day event free to everyone and accessible to every level of DJ, as we have been doing for the last few years with our workshops, networking events and open decks. But now, we have turbo charged it!

Westend DJ has teamed up with our partners, On The Rise, to fill a gap that I believe has been widening over recent years, as the trade shows for our industry have lost the connection to the DJs and music producers which they should serve. weDJ continues our community focussed approach to improving access to DJing with a free expo aimed at connecting DJs and music producers with tech, knowledge and like-minded peers to further their enjoyment of music.
