Hosted by DJ and musician Steen, Open Decks is a creative and fun space where DJs can hang and share their house and techno music live. Hear your favorite or original tracks on Silo's front room sound system, a custom 15,000 watt Danley powerhouse. If you want to play, talk to Steen to sign up. Sign-up is in person at the event only, slots are 12 minutes. The first 3 DJ's play first-come-first-spin. Then we'll select names randomly from the sign-up list throughout the night, with extra weighting for DJs who arrive earlier. You'll get a half hour notice before your set time. This is to ensure that DJ's who can't make the initial sign up right at 8pm still get a chance to play. This week's co-host is Finding Your Niche (@finding.your.niche). Founded by ANICHE (anicheintheworld), they organize events to help you find your music, your people and your niche in the world. They strive to connect people through music and movement in these deeply disconnected times. With events like "Extra Spicy Please", which gives DJs the freedom to express themselves sonically while exposing dancers to new sounds, and "For The People," which invites dancers to experience movement without the influence of substances, finding your niche has made its mark in Brooklyn over the past year and continues to grow. They regularly feature artists through their community nights like Open Decks, as well as through their monthly radio residencies on Newtown Radio and Halfmoon Radio. Free with advance RSVP.
