Who we are
ABOUT US
Emerging Beats UK was founded in April 2025 by two students from Loughborough University with a mission to spotlight and elevate student talent across the UK. Born from a passion for music and community, we provide performance opportunities to student DJs and aim to redefine the student nightlife experience.
After establishing ourselves within the vibrant Loughborough scene – where we’ve proudly given more than 25 student DJs the chance to perform – we’re now expanding to Essex and seeking to work with promoters and venues in Nottingham to bring our unique energy to new audiences.
Backed by the trust of the student community, Emerging Beats UK is known for delivering DJs who play for the crowd, ensuring unforgettable nights every time. As we grow, our goal is to revitalise student events by keeping students at the centre of the experience; on the stage, in the booth, and on the dancefloor.
We’re always on the lookout for new talent. If you’re a student DJ – or know someone who is – we’d love to hear from you. Send your name, a link to your mix, and your favourite genre to play to here.
Our locations
Loughborough
Loughborough is where it all began and it’s more than just a place we perform, it’s our community. From Campus to The Griff, Firefly to Jam Garden, we’ve shared nights with the people who’ve supported us from the start. We’re proud to give back, celebrate local talent and create spaces where everyone feels part of something bigger.
ESSEX
Essex is on our radar too. We’re looking to grow our reach here, from intimate local spots to bigger stages, connecting with audiences and creating unforgettable nights along the way.
NOTTINGHAM
We’ve started making our mark in Nottingham and are looking to expand further. From lively student nights to hidden gems in the city, we’re building a presence and can’t wait to bring more performances to new venues across town.
LONDON
London is calling, and we’re already setting sights on bringing our vibe to the capital. With a scene that’s constantly evolving, we’re excited to expand into some of the city’s most iconic venues and fresh new spaces.
