How It Works

For DJs

Create your profile with bio, music style, and links to your SoundCloud. View the booking calendar to see available slots at Monk Bouldergyms locations. Submit booking requests for open time slots. Once confirmed, your set appears on the venue's schedule and you can promote it through the platform.

After your set, upload it to SoundCloud and share it through Djedjuler. Your mixes become part of the venue's music archive, discoverable by the climbing community.

For Venue Management

Manage your DJ schedule from a centralized dashboard. Review booking requests, approve DJs, and organize event lineups. Track which DJs and music styles resonate with your community.

The platform handles the logistics so you can focus on creating great experiences for climbers. Automated notifications keep DJs and staff coordinated.

For the Community

Browse upcoming DJ nights, discover new music, and listen to past sets. Follow your favorite DJs and get notified when they're playing. Share sets you enjoyed with friends and on social media, building a bridge between the climbing and music communities.

Development Story

Djedjuler emerged from the intersection of two passions: climbing and music. Monk Bouldergyms wanted to create a unique atmosphere where the energy of climbing is enhanced by carefully curated DJ sets. But coordinating DJ bookings, sharing music, and promoting events was fragmented across email, spreadsheets, and social media.

The platform brings everything into one place. DJs can showcase their work, venue managers can organize events efficiently, and climbers can discover the music that powers their sessions. The SoundCloud integration was crucial - it lets DJs share their sets without requiring additional hosting, while giving climbers easy access to the music.

Building Djedjuler meant understanding the unique needs of both communities. DJs needed a professional platform to showcase their brand. Venue managers needed reliability and easy scheduling. And climbers needed a simple way to engage with the music without it becoming a distraction from their climbing.
