DiBOX (Youth Open Mic)

The First Recording taken from The Drop Inn's first Youth Open Mic night.


This is the Second Sample recorded from later on in the night, using our loop pedal to build beats.

Safe Rave rural exchange

We designed a 'Safe Rave' package to take the award winning project into other communities, to help tackle under age drinking, drug misuse and anti-social behavior. Each community 'Safe Rave' package will include e few 'Safe Rave' events for the young people, but will especially include DJ training for the youth and drugs and alcohol awareness sessions for the volunteers.
Each package will cater and can be adapted to suit the needs of the different communities.

There is already 4 communities that have been put forward for this package by DCC, we are excited to begin the out reach work.
Please read more about it by clicking on the Belper People link below:

The money put into this project is being put into the communities for the training and tackling of antisocial behavior, but the money for the equipment hire to run the projects, which will be Hired through the Drop Inn will raise small amounts of funding to maintain and improve the facilities of our own youth centre.

It's a great new direction for The Drop Inn, we cant wait to start.

Website update

New new website template is looking really cool, there is more people involved in this next generation website.

This is how the new website will probably sound. It's a mini-mix created by 0perand (Pete Simpson)


The actual site won't be released till late April now, just in time for all the out reach / festival projects over summer hopefully.
