Fader Manners at TRILL: Open DJ Scratch Session , Nov 19

Yo, Phoenix! Ready to get your hands dirty on the decks? Tomorrow night is about to be SICK at TRILL Hip Hop Shop. We’re bringing back Fader Manners, and this one’s gonna be special.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines watching DJs work their magic, wondering what it feels like to cut, scratch, and blend tracks like a pro – this is YOUR moment. Wednesday, November 19th, we’re opening up the tables for everyone. And we mean EVERYONE.

What’s Fader Manners All About?

Real talk – Fader Manners isn’t just another DJ night. It’s a monthly scratch session that’s become the heartbeat of Phoenix’s turntable community. This is where beginners get their first taste of vinyl magic, where seasoned DJs come to sharpen their skills, and where the culture gets passed down the right way.

The whole concept is simple but powerful: open tables, open minds, open community. No judgment, no gatekeeping – just pure love for the art of DJing. Whether you’ve never touched a turntable in your life or you’ve been spinning since back in the day, there’s space for you at these tables.

Every month, we clear out space in the shop, set up the decks, and let the community take over. It’s become this beautiful thing where knowledge gets shared, skills get developed, and friendships get made over beats and breaks.
