Are you a DJ? Do you want to "spin" your "tracks" at SeaCompression and make all them kids "get down" to your "phat beats"? Well awesome, this mail is for you! I've been asked to be the DJ AmbASSador for SeaCompression 2009 and I'll be coordinating this year's dance space and doing all those thankless DJ-wrangling tasks that we know and love.
Here's the skinny:
# SeaCompression is Saturday, November 7th. We'll have two stages for DJs.
# The stages will run from 7 PM to 2 AM. Slots will be between 30 minutes and 1 hour long.
# If you want to DJ, you *must* apply by filling out The Damn Form at http://bit.ly/SeaCompDJ no later than 11:59 PM, Friday, October 23rd. Seriously.
# If you're a "real" musician or "actual" performer and not just a "knob-twisting geek who plays other people's records", there are other stages for you at SeaCompression, such as Denial, Anger...seriously, please go to http://ignitionnw.org/seacompression for more info on that.
# If you want to help the DJ/Dance area by decorating, providing sound or lights or help set up AND tear down, please reply to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
Here's what's gonna be the same as last year:
# We always have *way* more DJs than available slots. Not everyone who wants to play will be able to. Yep, that's the suck.
# There is no compensation for playing the event
# You will probably have to buy a ticket to get in. I say "probably" because the number of comps/performer tickets is very limited. (Let's remember that our own Ignition NW is producing this, and it's a fundraiser for them. And by them, I mean "us".) If you have an honest sincere need for a comp ticket (ie, you wouldn't be able to play the event) please let us know when you fill in the DJ form.
Here's what's gonna be different:
# We're going to change the layout of the space and how we set up the sound systems in a possibly hopeless attempt to defy the laws of physics and make two bitchin' loud PAs sound halfway decent in an aircraft hangar.
# On Monday October 26th the community will be able to vote on which DJs they'd like to have spin and the kinds of music they want to hear. The results will influence the composition of the lineup but not dictate it.
So. Bottom line: Fill out the form at http://bit.ly/SeaCompDJ by Friday 10/23 at 11:59 PM. Find out if and when you play by Friday 10/30 at 6 PM.
Please feel free to forward this mail far and wide!
You can ask questions by mailing me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can. If you put something like "SEACOMPRESSION" in the subject line that'd be awesome.
See ya at the hangar,
Michael
