At pointblank, we’re proud of the unique, real-world opportunities we regularly present to our students, and we’re kicking off 2026 in style. We’re partnering with the iconic Ministry of Sound to give our DJ students what matters most: genuine industry experience on an iconic stage.
On Saturday, 24 January 2026, pointblank DJs will be taking over ‘The Baby Box’ from midnight to 4:00 am for an unforgettable night of club energy, community and homegrown talent. And this isn’t just a showcase, it’s a paid gig. The students performing are getting paid for their set because we believe real opportunities should feel like the real industry.
To build the lineup, we ran a competition exclusively for our DJ students, selecting 8 standout DJs to take over the night. Expect an eclectic mix of sounds and styles, showcasing the breadth of talent emerging from pointblank right now and proving exactly what can happen when students are given the platform to shine.
It is the perfect opportunity to see your peers play a world-famous venue, feel what a proper club system does to your music, and get inspired by what’s possible while studying. It’s also a big moment for the community: when students show up for students, everyone levels up. pointblank students and their friends get an exclusive discounted ticket for the night, so don’t miss your chance to be part of it. Grab your discounted ticket here. Invite your whole gang, and bring the energy from midnight through to 4 am.
Since opening in 1991, Ministry of Sound has become one of London’s most iconic clubbing institutions, originally launching as one of the first clubs dedicated to house music, and famously built around a mission of exceptional sound quality. With its cutting-edge audio setup, the venue remains a must-visit for anyone exploring London’s club scene, and a dream stage for DJs who want to understand what a world-class room really feels like.
At pointblank, we help students grow beyond the classroom: with real industry opportunities to learn, practise, and build confidence where it really counts. From live performance opportunities at iconic venues to exclusive events and bootcamps, we’re here to help students build confidence, credits, and career momentum. If you’re ready to take your DJ and production skills to the next level, apply to our BA (Hons) Music Production & DJ Performance degree. You’ll learn from industry professionals in state-of-the-art facilities, including Pioneer/AlphaTheta-certified studios. You’ll also be following in the footsteps of pointblank alumni who’ve helped shape global dance culture, including Pete Tong, Nicole Moudaber, Felix Jaehn, Claude VonStroke, and many more.
