The gap is real.

Nashville today

• •Rehearsal infrastructure is built for bands and songwriters.
• •DJs rely on home gear, occasional open decks at bars, or borrowing club systems.
• •No "Pirate Studios"-style self-service rooms with club-standard gear (CDJs, DJM, booth monitors).

But Nashville DJ activity is growing

• •Night We Met: Wednesday open deck sessions drawing 15-20 DJ registrations regularly
• •Lulo Soundroom: Irregular open deck events, but consistent newcomer interest when available
• •The Underground Institute: Local brand focused on training newcomer DJs, owned by Arhat and Hotboxx. Only brand of its kind in Nashville, willing to partner.
• •New Collective: Arhat and Cruel Mistress are creating a collective of local DJs, showing community growth

What DJs need

• •A space to practice on pro gear before shows.
• •A way to record mixes (audio + video) for promotion.
• •A place to collaborate without disturbing neighbors or venues.

Proof from elsewhere

• •Pirate Studios (NYC, LA, London): 24/7 bookable DJ rooms, $16-27/hr. Club-standard Pioneer equipment, custom lighting.
• •Mile High DJ Supply (Colorado): CDJ practice sessions and lessons with professional equipment.
• •Band Barracks (Houston): DJ studios with Pioneer CDJ3000s and DJM mixers, $19-35/hr, 24/7 access.
• •Rakoon Sound Studios (Miami): Club-standard Pioneer DJ equipment, acoustically treated rehearsal studios.

The gap is clear

Current events focus on performance opportunities, not practice space. DJs are registering to play live sets, but have nowhere to prepare, experiment, or record content professionally.

Nashville's gap = our opportunity

• •No existing solution for DJs here.
• •A DJ-dedicated room at C615 would be the first of its kind.
• •The industrial look + cinematic recording capability makes it more than practice: it's a content engine.
