Hey {{ Name | there }}!
Let’s start the new year right.
This week isn’t just about dancing (though there’s plenty of that). It’s about showing up, putting yourself out there, and stepping into the version of you that 2026’s been waiting for.
Feeling bold? We’ve got open decks all over town — perfect for testing a new set or finally getting behind the booth.
Not quite ready? No pressure — Ableton Lab’s workshop is a great way to sharpen your skills and start building the sound you want to share.
If your resolution is to be more visible, more expressive, or just more you — on the dance floor or behind the decks — this week is here for it.
