Tonight Decksadrine: Red Bull 45s @ Trinity
Posted by Dave Segal on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 12:31 PM
Tonight disc jockeys Jake One, Supreme La Rock, James Pants, and DJ John Doe will compete against one another using 7-inch 45s while presumably consuming copious amounts of Red Bull. The concept, according to Red Bull Music Academy:
The competition format places four DJs in four opposite corners of the venue, with the crowd in the middle. Each DJ spins for no more than four minutes on 45 rpm records, with each subsequent DJ attempting to match the last beat of the previous DJ - without the help of any beat-matching programs (instead each DJ has to go “digging” through his stack of 45 rpm records).
Sounds fantastic. The event includes a special guest performance by Jurassic 5 DJ Nu-Mark. Trinity, 111 Yesler Ave, 9 pm, 21+, free.
