2025 DJ Forum Bremen: Resounding Achievement Boosting Local Event Vibrancy
Bremen witnessed an influential gathering of DJs last week as the DJ Forum Bremen took place in the city's thriving Überseestadt district. The event, organized by local industry veteran Thorsten Siemer, better known as DJ Toddy, drew DJs from various genres, not only from Bremen and Lower Saxony but also from beyond, for a day of networking, idea sharing, and learning about the latest advancements in DJ technology.
Located at Schuppen 2, the forum boasted heavy participation from professionals in the field, with notable companies such as in-house Chauvet Germany, based in Bremen-Nord, taking part as exhibitors. Chauvet Germany is well-known for launching international brands like ChauvetDJ and Chamsys on the German market, and they used the opportunity to showcase their latest offerings. Voice Acoustic presented the speaker boxes of the Score series, while Alpha Teta, formerly Pioneer, exhibited their latest mixer flagship.
Throughout the day, attendees enjoyed insightful discussions, with experts sharing insider tips and tricks, such as the practical benefits of rotating one of two subwoofers to reduce constant omnidirectional bass pressure for the DJ's comfort. DJ René de Root from Oldenburg shared his experiences, and the event was documented by TourBlogMovies.
The forum's organizer, Thorsten Siemer, expressed his satisfaction with the event, stating, "It was a huge success filled with exciting conversations, inspiration, and exchange." This sentiment was echoed by Lars Baumhauer, who presented the latest series of light specialists from ChauvetDJ at the forum. Baumhauer highlighted the high light intensity and simple, user-friendly control of the series, which aims to cater to both beginners and professional users.
With the recent relaxation of event restrictions after the lockdowns, the DJ industry is experiencing a resurgence. The DJ Forum 2025 served as a testament to the strength of this momentum, and organizers remain optimistic about its continuation in the future. The next forum in Bremen is planned for March 9, 2026.
Looking ahead, organizers have plans for a new format in 2026: a trade fair in Bremen that will cover a broader spectrum of DJ-related topics. While it remains to be seen whether manufacturers will participate, there is significant anticipation that the event will attract and stimulate further interest in the burgeoning Bremen scene.
The German DJ scene continues to be shaped by major events like Prolight+Sound in Frankfurt, which showcases top DJ and lighting equipment manufacturers and attracts professionals from across the industry. Local events in Bremen, such as the DJ Forum 2025, help foster the city's vibrant music culture and contribute to its growing status as a hub for DJ professionals.
In the burgeoning music culture of Bremen, the DJ scene is not limited to just DJs and music equipment. Partnerships between the DJ industry, finance, technology, and entertainment sectors are potentially forthcoming, as demonstrated by the planned trade fair in 2026, which aims to cover a broad spectrum of DJ-related topics.
The success of events like the DJ Forum 2025 highlights the potential for collaborations that could bring innovation not only in DJ technology but also in financial and entertainment industries, marking Bremen's steady progress as a hub for DJ professionals.
