The Assessment Tool is open again.
A calm space to pause, reflect, and see where you really are in your artist journey - without pressure, without comparison, without guessing.

Over the last year we’ve seen how much clarity this tool can bring:
your strengths, your gaps, your systems, your habits, your direction.
Not as judgment, but as awareness.

This new launch has one extra purpose too:
we’re collecting insights to create a European DJ Scene Report — a clear look at how DJs learn, struggle, grow and navigate their careers across our region.
It’s a community project, and we’ll share the results with you

If you want to understand yourself better - or simply put some order into the chaos - start here:

Simple. Honest.
Built to support your growth.

Introducing DJ LAB PRO 🚀 the next step for emerging DJs in Europe

12 DJs
6 months of mentoring
1 showcase at CARBON Silesia Festival in Poland

From a small stage to a European launchpad.
Comment “OPEN CALL”to get direct link to the application.

What started as a showcase for ͏v͏i͏r͏t͏u͏a͏l ͏g͏e͏i͏s͏h͏a students has grown over the past two years. First, it opened up to emerging DJs from Poland. Now, it’s going international.

This year, as part of DJ LAB PRO, the Fresh Faces Stage returns to Carbon Silesia Festival – bigger, bolder, and ready to amplify talent from across Central, Eastern, Baltic, and Balkan Europe.

✨ But DJ LAB PRO is more than just a stage.
It’s a 6-month program designed to elevate 12 selected DJs – combining mentoring, industry insights, and the chance to perform at one of the region’s leading festivals.

The program is aimed at up-and-coming DJs from Central, Eastern, Baltic, and Balkan Europe who have some experience behind the decks but limited access to international exposure. It’s designed for those who are serious about building a career in electronic music and want mentorship, industry insights, and a chance to perform at a major festival.

The program includes:
Bootcamp + showcase: 13-14 June 2025 (Zabrze, Poland)
Mentoring phase: July 2025 – January 2026 (online meetings)
