“I fully enjoyed the master class on Tuesday!
Hapa is a great and passionate teacher. I am so glad that I participated in the class. It was my first DJX and it gave me a very fun experience, too. I will keep practicing what I learned in the class to improve my skill!”
“Every year there is a gathering of DJs like no other – that only happens at DJX. The camaraderie, energy, education and gear-purchasing opportunities are off-the-charts awesome. DJX’24 was a hugely successful event once again, and we’re already planning to attend next year!”

SUMMER CAMP / #UPNXTDJ
TOOLS TO DJ, TOOLS FOR LIFE
M Philip Sam, BASSBOSS
“The DJX Show is an outstanding platform for BASSBOSS to showcase our latest speakers and engage with top-tier, dedicated DJs. We are honored to sponsor the #UPnXtDJ Contest for the second consecutive year. Seeing the next generation of DJs perform and connect with their peers is truly inspiring.”
“Blake had the amazing opportunity to have some of his DJ role models focus on helping him to improve his DJ skills. He loved every minute and learned a ton, things that my husband and I, as non-DJs, could never teach. I highly recommend Camp nXT if your child is interested in learning to DJ, whether they are a total beginner or have several years of experience!”

Dave Arevalo,
Calif.
“This year’s DJX Show was our best experience to date. Our demo room, was packed throughout the show with highly engaged and enthusiastic DJs looking to offer a premium experience for their clients. The show exceeded our expectations in terms of number of visitors to our demo room, as well as the positive feedback we received about our products and our brand. We can’t wait to be back next year.”
Ray van Straten, QSC, Costa Mesa, Calif.
“I have been coming to Atlantic City in August since 2006, and the show gets better every year! DJX has become the gold standard for a DJ show, and I can’t wait until the DJX ’25 to again see some amazing people, vendors, and shows – and to make new DJX memories!”
