freeform dj collective

downtempo/trip-hop/reggae monthly

Give Productions started TRANSIT in the spring of 2004 to bring a taste of downtown nightlife to the suburbs, and to provide a platform for new and up and coming DJs to show their skills. We're always looking for new talent, so if you spin, bring copies of your mixes or live sets with you.

TRANSIT has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, a booming soundsystem, 'intelligent lighting' and dance floor that's great for breaking. And for the kids who don't want to get too freaky in the middle of the week, we've got a bunch of pool tables or you can just hang out and have some beer and nachos or a cheeseburger from the kitchen while listening to some great dance music.
