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 David Lunch, a DJ based out of Queens. He was a resident DJ at Earthly Delights and is the current host of CHUFFED, a radio show on Subtle Radio and Newtown Radio. CHUFFED only has one rule: 140BPMs or bust. Known for his dynamic tempo shifts, he leans heavily into breakbeat, bass music, prog, UKG, tech house & club music of all varieties.
