Professional DJ Booths
As a way to promote Our Work and at the
same time the DJ Culture to a wider
audience, Laboratorio de DJs stablished
the Show Room Concept as a Photo
Booth that at the same time is a Real
Professional DJ Booth.
This way we connect directly with people
interested in getting to know more about
DJing by letting them have access to the
Equipment they see on Festivals and
Clubs Videos, while they have fun, take
pictures and share them with their friends
on Facebook and Instagram.
The DJLAB Showrooms can be set up in
any kind of event or venue, like a Club, a
bar, a School or University and even a
Technology or Music Exhibition.
At the same time, it can include Pioneer
Technology, Traktor System and Hardware
or old classic Technics Turntables.
