KidPhunk Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Mornin As the title suggests - this one is for all those budding producers/vocalists out there - you've heard of unsigned band nights well this is an unsigned dance music/leftfield producer night. I have just been given a new night at DQ to start in September and I wanted to do something a bit different, being a producer/DJ myself I am always looking for new places to play my tunes but always feel that the audience don't even realise their mine unless I tell them - this way the crowd will know that the person behind the decks is playing their own tunes. I am hoping to make it an eclectic night (all forms of dance music covered) with resident DJ's too - I also realise that not all producers are DJ's - that is not a problem - I want the night to be more about the music than DJ skills - if you can pluck up the courage to get on the decks and play a half hour set (mixed or not) on CD's or vinyl including one or more of your own productions that will be enough, also don't worry too much about quality of finish on tunes, mastered tunes are not essential as long as its the best you can get it, thats fine. Alternatively any vocalists out there that have a backing CD or anything that can easily plug into a club soundsystem (synth wise), I have an SM58 mic, so you will also be very welcome to showcase your own stuff. I am looking into getting sponsorship too to make the night more professional and hopefully attract local label interest - also if all goes well making it into a bit of a monthly competition with prizes etc. Anyways I don't want to get ahead of myself so I'm just posting this to get some feedback and try and get an idea of the level of interest such a night could attract. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasilRathbon Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I do a spot of Scottish dance music involving an accordion and a set of bagpipes I play by squeezing the bellows between my knees - it's in the style of Jimmy Shand and Andy "Donald where's Yer Troosers" Stewart. Can do a short set, assuming you can provide me with kilt in the appropriate tartan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBouncer Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I can do a mean set on the triangle Mr Phunk if that's any good? I'm hoping to turn professional some time this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully_Beef Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Greetings Mr. KidPhunk! Yep, I'd be up for this - have been producing a bit of stuff for a while in a funk/hip-hop/broken beat/UKG kind of vein and would be up for pummelling some of it out of DQ's soundsystem, attempting to reduce West One to rubble in the process Don't be put off by the jokers - I don't think anyone's trying to mock you or the idea - I actually though BasilRathbon's comment was quite funny. Anyway, it's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
