The Blue Moon & Brit Jean Presents...
DJs in a Dive Bar!
A FREE 21+ community event, reoccurring EVERY 2ND & 4TH TUESDAYS at the Historical Blue Moon with DJs MIXING UNDERGROUND HOUSE and Beyond!
************************
Join us as we celebrate our 1-year anniversary!
Tuesday, June 10th for VINYL NIGHT w/ open turntables!
Tuesday, June 24th for DIGITAL NIGHT w/ open decks!
************************
FOR OUR 1-Year Anniversary, there will be no headliner, just longer open slots for all! This creates more opportunities for all!
Tuesday, June 10th for VINYL NIGHT w/ open turntables all slots are guaranteed 45 minutes each if not longer! Depends on how many people show up!
Tuesday, June 24th for DIGITAL NIGHT w/ open decks all slots are guaranteed for 30 minutes each if not longer! Depends on how many people show up!
************************
Typical events have 1 headliner that was chosen from a list of open deck participants, and they go on at 10p for 1-2 hours, and open slots are before and after the headliner. You must play an open slot to be chosen for a paid headlining spot. Headliners are always paid on site, night of the event. All open slots are not paid. This is an opportunity to play out, network and expand your DJ knowledge, skills and connections in our local community.
************************
DJs in a Dive Bar is a community event where we share open tables and decks with those who wish to play! To play an open slot, YOU MUST SHOW UP AND SIGN UP IN PERSON! First come on sign-ups, till slots are full, and we create the set list from there! Typical cut offs on signing up are at 8:30p and we divide the time out from there. But most events, all spots are signed up for very quickly and we are full! WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE SHOWING UP BETWEEN 7-8p to sign up! Must starts at 7:30p and will go till 1a!
************************
2nd Tuesday of the month is always VINYL NIGHT!
Not a Vinyl DJ? Come dance and listen and observe and expand your minds!
For Vinyl Night the gear is 2 Technics SL-1200M3D Turntables and a Rane MP2014 2 Channel Rotary DJ Mixer.
************************
For Digital Night the gear is the newest Pioneer AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ 4-channel Digital DJ System aka a badass controller that acts very similar to 2CDJ3000s&anA9mixer. BRING A USB DRIVE! We do not have cords for laptop connections.
************************
Most events we ask open decks to keep it to HOUSE and house-adjacent genres. If you wish to play LIQUID Dnb or UKG, you will need to be willing and able to play a later time slot but still must be there early to sign up. We will always start with house and lower BPMs like 120 and then work our way into higher BPMs, upon signing up you will be asked what you plan to play and the set list is form to make the most sense to guide us from one DJ to the next in the order that makes sense for everyone, this keeps our dancers and bar chilling folx happy!
************************
Thank you to all to who have come out to DJs in a Dive Bar, where we can meet like-minded community members and grow together from DJs to dancers and everything in between! Kindness is key here and anything less we have a zero-tolerance policy for and you will be removed from the event.
************************
Come enjoy an ice-cold beverage at Brit Jean's Favorite Bar, the Blue Moon, who survives off the drinks it sells and is the reason we are allowed to host free-no-cover events and play on their incredible sound system! Drink specials for Tuesday's event are a $4 peppered hound cocktail, a special $5 Draft of choice beer or a $5 mocktail in a Roy rogers or Shirley temple style! The Blue Moon prides themselves with only carrying local Seattle brews and ciders on tap and at an affordable price. PLUS, LOTS OF NON-ALCHOLIC DRINKS, MOCKTAILS, ZERO PROOF BEER AND MORE! Snacks available or you can bring your own food in!
