On April 22 and 23, Saint Louis transforms CX Milan|Bicocca and CX Milan|NoM into a morning stage with AM Collective, the DJ set of Design Week.
There is something deliberately countercultural about the idea of starting the morning with a DJ set. That’s exactly what Saint Louis College of Music is proposing with AM Collective, the format developed to upend the routine of the early hours of the day by transforming them into a time of energy, encounter and sound research.
The appointment is set for April 22 and 23, 2026, in the midst of Milan Design Week, at the Station-Bars of CX Milan|Bicocca and CX Milan|NoM: two locations that during these days will become reference points for students, creatives and music lovers who gravitate to the busiest week on the Milanese calendar.
At the center of the DJ set are students from Saint Louis’Electronic and Applied Music courses, called upon to build a sound experience designed for the morning, with a curated selection capable of moving between artistic research and a desire to dance. To accompany the music selection, breakfast and brunch at Station Bars on CX campuses.
The choice of time-the first part of the day, when the energy awakens-is not random. In a Design Week where the evenings are multiplying and the offerings are increasingly crowded, Saint Louis takes the morning space, and it does so with a proposal that has a precise logic: to start the day with something worth remembering.
CX Milan’s spaces thus become more than a place of passage. They become a place where music enters the day before the day even gets going.
