Tell us about Preston DJ Social?
We’re a mental health-based DJ hangout and open deck. Every few weeks, we get together to play tunes, drink tea and check in on each other.
We’ve been running for two years in May and have thrown over twenty events: fundraisers for Lancashire Mind & Movember, industry talks & equipment showcases from AlphaTheta, special events for International Women’s Day & Preston Creative Social.
You have coming up. When is it and how do people get involved?
The event is on Sunday, the 7th of June at Artch in Preston, 3PM-7PM. Tickets are £10 (inc booking fee) with low-income tickets available for those who need them. If you wanna come, read the vibe check on our Instagram & get your tickets on Skiddle.
Where are your favourite places to DJ in Preston?
Switch, the main room when it was rammo. I played Preston Weekender this year, very proud moment. Love a face-melting Blitz till 6 set.
Big shout to Trev & Lisa at Warehouse though, middle floor, top-end decks, good crowd, lighting screen in the booth, good sound system, monitors, very good security team keeping people safe. You have full control of that room, great venue, a lot of work goes into making an icon.

DJ, Promoter ( , restonDJSocial, PrestonCreativeSocial)
Over the past three years, I’ve definitely become more passion-led & brought more of myself into what I do. The stress levels are very high, but I’ve got the love back. Stressed but happy is very much the vibe at the moment.
Thanks for sharing Jason.
