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. 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.
Free with advance RSVP. Question? Hit up your host on IG @steenschmidt
This week's co-host is Rhythm Rails. The open decks will be live streamed on their channel and sets will be recorded, so bring your best tracks.
In SILO's front room. Limited capacity.
