    beat me to the punch, nice. Sorry, was trying to set up this tekken f1 mapping, didn’t get around to checking. Disregard the majority of my last message =) (still figuring out how I want to incorporate the f1 into the set, this is taking some time…..)

    Just a reminder guys, next Thursday, be @ The Electric maid around 6:30-7 so I can finalize acts and work on promotion. Bring a 15 minute mix (if you can’t bring your gear, just bring a c or at the very least a soundcloud link) so we can establish set order.

    Uggh, emergency update;

    Just got in touch with the maid, they booked their open mic for this week with an actual show. Same time/date, but the address to meet would be 1233 12th St. NW DC, 20005. It’s about 5 blocks from Metro Center. No need to bring any gear, we can just pull it up on the computer and discuss where to go from there.

    ^ disregard this, band last minute booked and I’d really like you guys to see the venue (and limitations of it) and make sure we get hooking up down.

    Electric Maid, 6*30-7pm, be there

    ^ Band backed out last minute, open mic is back on, so back to the original plan. Sorry to change up then undo a few days before the meeting, I just relay the information as I get it =/. Anyways, original plan, hope to see all there on Thursday.

    Alright, so everything so far is going well. Just a few updates;

    -Matix, I want you to perform at the show, but you haven’t gotten back to me since the 19th of December. As the booker, I need confirmation that you will be playing out, and need an idea of what you want to play. With the show being on the 14th, I can give you 3 days to get back to me, but I have to get flyers out/ have confirmation for the venue asap. Nothing against you personally, but this thing has to materialize fast (show is on Feb 14th)
    -7 dollars a head, going to be a 4-hour BYOB event. If this event goes well, we’ll have a venue that we can work on creating our own scene with…. a venue where the dj is artist, not simply ambience noise. It’s an opportunity that can’t be passed up =).

    Keep in touch.

    Update: Have an act coming to the open Mic @ The Peace House today, and talking to 2 other acts. If I can confirm the act tonight, we’ll have our paid lineup confirmed ( if other people want to get in on the event, I can book you, but the pay is already going to be spread thin ( total door revenue divided by half, then divided by 4 (Venue retains half for taking a risk, then 4 paid acts). If you want to freejay it for exposure, then become a paid act for the next show (assuming we generate the venue a minimum of 100, which we will) that’ll work. If the act does not confirm, I will update.

    Anticipated date of flyers being out (assuming the 4th confirms tonight); Jan 14th.

    Start-up of promotions: Jan 15th. Promotions aren’t mandatory for any other act besides myself, but
    1) It’ll be a way to increase your exposure minimally
    2) As we’re all being paid based on commission, the more people we bring to the venue the more we are paid. Our target goal is 65-70, if we get at least 40 through the door then this will be a regular event, twice a month. If you’re looking to have a venue in DC that will NEVER force you to play top40, house, or brostep, it is important we show the venue there is a community who is looking for alternatives to the mainstream club scene.

    -I’ll keep in touch and look forward to jamming out,
    NietZsky.

    Had Demonick confirm last night, so it looks like we have our acts. Here is my proposal for the lineup

    1st: Demonick opening up with Dubstep/Electro house, starting our night with some half-stepped 140 then ending it off at about 128.
    2nd: Daryl coming with some break/DnB, taking it from the 130s and ending it off as close to 140-145 as he can get it.
    3rd: Myself with a hardstyle/ hard dance set (might have a pinch of dutch / h hardcore, but it’s going to be geared towards shuffling/jumpstyle), picking up from where Daryl left off and bringing us up to 170
    4th: Phaydn wrapping it up with some Drumstep and DnB.

    The lineup was done according to how well I feel the night would transition, as opposed to worrying about who is opening/premiering/etc. If there are any disagreements as to how the set should go, shoot me an email and we can discuss. I’m not married to order at all, and if you feel opening with happy hardcore is the way to go, let’s talk =D.

    Once I get Demonick’s graphic / Phadyn’s handle (if he uses one) in, I can have the flyer created and toss that around.

    -Keep in touch.

    Sounds great! I’ll start getting the set put together and promoting to my friends and contacts. Looking forward to seeing the flyer! Thanks for all your hard work on this. REALLY appreciate it!

    Good to see a DC community in here. Let me know how this gig goes, maybe I can introduce you to some of key players in DC.

    ^ That’d be lovely, as I just recently made the transition from house party/out-in-the-woods with a generator dj to playing clubs and events and am completely new to DC in terms of music. I’ll keep the thread posted on how it’s going to turn out, work is being put into the flyer later today.
