What started as a showcase for ͏v͏i͏r͏t͏u͏a͏l ͏g͏e͏i͏s͏h͏a students has grown over the past two years. First, it opened up to emerging DJs from Poland. Now, it’s going international.

This year, as part of DJ LAB PRO, the Fresh Faces Stage returns to Carbon Silesia Festival – bigger, bolder, and ready to amplify talent from across Central, Eastern, Baltic, and Balkan Europe.

✨ But DJ LAB PRO is more than just a stage.
It’s a 6-month program designed to elevate 12 selected DJs – combining mentoring, industry insights, and the chance to perform at one of the region’s leading festivals.

The program is aimed at up-and-coming DJs from Central, Eastern, Baltic, and Balkan Europe who have some experience behind the decks but limited access to international exposure. It’s designed for those who are serious about building a career in electronic music and want mentorship, industry insights, and a chance to perform at a major festival.

The program includes:
Bootcamp + showcase: 13-14 June 2025 (Zabrze, Poland)
Mentoring phase: July 2025 – January 2026 (online meetings)
