Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

okay off topic here but it does relate to planning b&w .
to whom do i speak to about getting the setlist printed in the booklet?
I have tried PM'ing blackbeetle . but no answer .
Is there another way to contact him? or should I talk with someone else?
If you have the answer please PM me
Thanks. I promise to have the setlist out asap!

Last year it was BlackBeetle that posted the request in the forums as a call for content in the booklet.

The last person to post about the booklet and CD this year was Nikita (here.) She included contact email addresses too. She might be able to help you with an answer if you have no response from BlackBeetle.

Also, if you will be on the contest floor, as an Event on the contest floor, Russ might also be a person to contact too.

The setlist is coming together quite nicely .
we still have a few hiccups with a couple of acts . mostly transportation costs and lodging issues. but hopefully those can be resolved soon .

Zikks,

How is the line up looking?


would MC Frontalot, etc be willing to play for defcon passes?

just curious what stuff is looking like.

I gotta squeeze defcon for a $$ and/or rooms to book him. a few other acts are requesting the same as well .

this nerdcore thing sounds awesome . btw

I've been talking with MC Frontalot- and I'd like to see him play defcon- thoughts?

I caught his show a couple months ago and it was a lot of fun. I'd definitely catch his set if he played DC.

That would be pretty cool! Him or MC Lars would kick ass.

So how can Nerdcore fit into this grand idea of playing all day/night?

@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 ;)

Then maybe the contests that are difficult to move can be placed along a shared wall, to allow the other, more easily moved contest to be, um, more easily moved to make more space as needed.

Don't forget, we also have a dedicated room or two along the hallway that is not being used.

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

I like Bink's idea. I was secretly hoping you guys would come up with it on your own. I think the higher ceilings would be nice, and I love the idea of DJs going all day / night.

In the spirit of DT's last post... anyone up for an Acid band playing during daytime or B&W breakout lounge area, etc.? This is Shagghie (winner of last year's badge hacking contest, for those that don't know me). I've got a small gig here in San Diego that does live Acid jamming performances that can go for hours on end. Serious hard core gear, too. We' d just need a PA, preferably something with a sub...our synths go sub audio in search of brown notes not as yet discovered. Would be cool, too, to let other peeps 'jack in' to the midi clock with their own 303's, etc...or just some of our gear if they have the inclination/skillz? We can do 90 bpm dub style acid, or we can do 127- 140 bpm hardstyle... or whatever's in between. And it gets pretty far out there, so have to be careful with the scene bunnys so they don't fall down, etc. Ideas, thoughts? I'm here to help!

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

i agree with hackajar 100%... or maybe my position is even more extreme, since i can't imagine that one should reasonably expect DefCon to be an environment that is super-sensitive to anyone's personal expectations of intellectual property or copyright.

i know that i don't give a damn about those matters when i'm at a public venue listening to a speech or a performance, many of which i record. if folks don't want something that they've created to be disseminated and spread they can simply keep it in a vault in their basement. once it's out, it's out... hardly worth whining at that point.

W0rd. What he said.
