EDM DJs in DC- Looking for a Starting Venue?

Ah nice, I have an aggressor myself, having 1 on each side of the stage would be pretty awesome. Last show we ran with a colorstrip, an aggressor, an eclipse, 2 micro galaxians, and I couldn’t tell you the fogger brand. I might be able to get my hands on 2 cubix 2.0s and 2 swarms as well for the next show, would be fun

We could definitely incorporate some DnB hip-hop / glitch hop into our shows without problem, send an email my way after this event and we’ll see if we can’t get you out with us.

https://www.facebook.com/thisisdancekraft this is the DanceKraft team page. I’ve gotten a good 12-13 responses total for people looking to play, and we’re currently working on having a diverse lineup and hosting multiple events a month in order to accommodate all of the djs. I’m actually leaving DC in a month or so to work my ass off in OC Maryland, I plan on coming back with at least a 2-3 grand light setup and some DMX, so we can really take our shows to the net level/ start DanceKraft as a legitimate collective business. We’ll see how my plan goes this summer, god knows I’ll be dropping 1.5k the day the NS7 2 comes out (probably a little more considering I’m going to overnight it XD)

I’ve been getting more emails as of late from local djs/ ddjt guys looking to help out / spin, it’s great. Also, through our events / networking, Daryl got himself a show the 18th of March, I’ll be playing a festival late june and I’ve got some lighting work, and I’ve received a few sound/spinning offers from Bmore. We’ve got 7 acts confirmed for the 30th show, in addition to some extra lighting & bodies. Always looking to help others in the dj community, and DDJT has yet to disappoint me with caliber of djs. I’ve no hate for laptop djs (seeing as how after my transition from vinyl I haven’t looked back yet), but there’s so many wankers giving us a bad name syncing/ screen-locking. It’s great that we’ve an event showcasing digital skill and fresh new talent. Getting this message in my facebook inbox tonight made it all worth it;

[SIZE=13px]I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or bad thing that DanceKraft is one of my top venues since I moved here.”

(He’s referring to the fact that I’ll be heading down to Ocean City Maryland in mid-April to work crazy hours so I can come back with a nasty light setup and my own sound to to expand the potential bookings for DanceKraft). Again, even though I will be heading out, DanceKraft will still be continuing monthly, and I’ll still be doing behind-the-scenes booking. I plan on coming down for at least 2 shows during the summer to play, and perhaps another just to mingle in the audience.

-Even if you doubt your skills or are just starting out, feel free to contact myself/ Daryl to express your interest. We’re always looking for assistance in promotion, and I personally don’t mind having jam sessions over my house/answering any digital dj questions so we can get you an opening slot/ hone your skills when it comes to DJing. Your presence on the forums alone shows me this is an art for you, and you’re about the music as opposed to being a center of attention. Keep in touch.

P.S.- Next set sounds like it’s going to be a little more gabber than hardstyle this time. You do PLUR? I blast evil and play with anger >;)[/SIZE]

Spot filled, that was fast. Seems a few are actually following the thread =D. No sweat if you didn’t get it, we’ve a show coming up every month and I’m always looking for new faces to be a part. After tomorrow (hoping it’ll make successful show number 2) we’ll start to have a little credibility under our belts, and can start branching out. Ideally, I would like this event to happen weekly at different locations in the DC metro area, and would be able to book the DDJT community of DC/MD/VA a monthly spot at one of the locations.

You should totally like my mix, it’s like comment 33 or 34 in the pinned post. Looking to play out/do some networking in Baltimore, seems like a decent enough in =D

Been a few weeks since an update, everything is still alive and well.

1) DanceKraft’s April show will be a test run at a new venue, The Looking Glass in Petworth (The Electric Maid is still definitely on board with us, and we’ll be having DanceKraft 4 on Friday, May 31st). If things go over well here, we’ll be able to ideally start hosting bi-monthly shows and bring even more djs an opportunity to play out in the nation’s capital. Will provide another report-back at the end of the month to tell whether we’ve experienced more growth, and potential plans for the future involving a potential gig-trading system with non-local djs. Keep in touch.
