@Jackalope: thanks for the support :)

I like the idea of having music day & night. I also volunteer for playing some downtempo/chillout/ambient during daytime. I plan on playing all digital this year, so I'm not limited by vinyl weight ;)

Sounds great....I'll be looking forward to hearing it, and if you want some live cello / violin with your ambient tracks let me know

What about the opening sequence from Futurama with the Billboard advertising DefCon as a product that kills, Owls?
(I think it is owls.)
And add that scene from the TV Series, "The X Files" where the two agents visit Las Vegas and Attend DefCon (Convention) which is a convention for Defense Contractors?

Cot, if you are going to go that far, let's just up pictures of the Lone Gunmen :)

Or simply start launching nukes to push the defcon level to the max! :)

I like the idea.

Now we just need to have the projectors playing the movie DEF CON 4 on one screen while on the other people play the video game DEFCON, drinking DEFCON energy drink, wearing DEFCON snowboard gloves, and secure their laptops with DEFCON 1 computer locks.

I think Defcon should play at Defcon along with Cruiciform Injection and the Gothsicles. I talked to all of these guys and gals, and the seem interested in doing the show, but you know how musicians are, sometimes they just need to be invited;-) if you need phone numbers, or email addresses just send me an email.

I just get Mitch Mitchem drunk.

Mitch Mitchem drunk (v): stumbling around, saying inappropriate things to everyone, flirting with women that are way out of your league but find it "cute" that you're so hammered, chain smoking clove cigarettes, and double/triple fisting drinks.

zziks, you got email. Sorry, I've been out of town getting stupid drunk.

Cmos invented a new kind of drunk at Toorcon... "Johnny Cash drunk."

Combo!

I play breaks/electroclash/indie/electrohouse/drum n bass/metal

I'm down for fucking some tunes up (possibly during the day?), but not during my set. Sorry mate.

Yeah, no doubt! That's right up our acid alley, style-wise.

Ok, but now, do we have a sense for where/when there will be a PA during the day? Will there be multiple locations/PA's to play from set up? At this rate, one doesn't look like it will be enough! :p

I'm going to bring some AD converters to record with for us...

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

Oh yeah, if I get on, I'm gonna rock out an Ableton Live Digital Mix.

nice.... do you do micro-loop/sample style grooving, ala faderfox, or do you mean just arranging full tracks for a dj set, or combo thereof, or?

What style will you be bringin'? If you can send me some clock, I can lay down some sick basslines and acid leads with the FR-777 or the TM3030... And bring the jomox kick into the groove ala carte...

Looks like I have enough musicians now to do some serious acid damage... if anyone else wants to participate, now's the time to speak up. At this point, only bring one piece of gear, or just borrow ours. We have too many machines already as it is.

What's the scoop on organizing floor space and PA time? BYO PA? I'm driving in a GTi from San Diego, so that's a bit tough!

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

I'm bringing my acid hardware with me... any other acid musicians/ technical operators in the house? E.g., any else know how to drive elektrons, jomox's, and Future Retro's??? I may or may not have fellow musicianhaxors coming with me this year, so I'm actively soliciting other artists who might want to jam with my gear or their own. In fact... a massive defcon acid party live would be...well, insane!

Who else can bring real hardware or samplers to the show?

ANother option: I have a RedSound mini thingy that converts DJ vinyl BPM to midi clock, and a midi merger, so that if there are any DJ's that spin acid /acid house, acid jungle, etc. let me know...we can work something out with your tables and my gear... delicious!

leave message here, PM, or pwn me on myspace bandsite: /shagghie

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

i also want some nerdcore, mc frontalot would be awesome :)
and as i already said, if there's going to be 24h music and/or chillout lounge, i'd do a ambient/lounge set also just for the fun of it.

Chillout DJ offer

If there's need for a chillout dj space to fill, i'd love to play atmospheric loungy jungle for an hour...
