LOCKDOWN PROMOTIONS DJ COMP @ Black Cat

LOCKDOWN PROMOTIONS DJ COMP.

Lock Down Promotions, one of the founders of the Bedroom Ball Breakers DJ comp, which was held last year @ Soda Room, is once again looking to discover new talent.

I am inviting everyone who thinks that they have got what it takes to mix it with some of the biggest name DJ’s in Adelaide.

The Comp will cover all styles and will be held at Black Cat Night Club starting Saturday 16th of September and will run between 9pm and 11pm so hop to it!

Entries will be accepted right up to the end of the comp. If your application is unsuccessful, your details will still be kept for a possible set in the future.

So if you reckon you can mix it up with the big boys and girls,
Ready to unleash your skills onto the public,
and want to get some experience in a club? Then this ones for you!

Competition is open to all styles (except RNB!)

all ages over the legal limit (18 years) and to any sex.

I have been inundated already with newbies wanting to hit the Adelaide circuit of late and I believe now is the time for YOU to go head to head with the other newbies to the scene in a massive shake and bake off to see who takes the title.

This test of skills is not only for you guys but also for me as I’m seeking new talented DJ’s who fit the bill to play in the venues that I promote.

To enter the competition or get more info, email me with your name, style, and contact details (including Mobile number) to lockdown@beagle.com.au WOOF! If you’re your application is successful then you will be advised of what you will be judged on by the panel of 5 or more judges, date and time.

DJ's with club residencies, regular paying DJ gigs or are under the age of 18 will NOT be accepted! If you are unsure if you fit into this category email me anyway and I’ll have a look at it.

Every winner each week will receive Drink cards to the value of $50 courtesy of Black Cat Night Club so you can booze it up and calm your nerves!

The Over all winner who will be crowned ‘Lock Down DJ Comp Winner Spring Edition 2005’ will win loads of prizes including gift vouchers, press announcements and regular gigs at one of my nights, with one of my crews or in one of the clubs who I promote for.

You will also have the opportunity to spend time with Banga Matt aka Matt Thomas in the studio while he demonstrates the production of music.

If you want to know more about these feel free to ask in your email.

And remember ‘Fame starts with your first game’

Hmm, i suppose, but if i can say 10 peoples ideas, I can possibly imporove on 10 aspects of my set. If i can do that a few times over, ill be putting on a better show than I previously could. :thumbsup:

Im not searching for compliments btw either. Honest opinions like ur levels were all wrong, learn how to manage them is what i want to hear. Or play more new tracks and occasionally drop a classic. Im new to the game, and i need to learn. More ppl i can learn from the stronger ill become :)

agree mate, but at the same time you still have to keep / hold a professional image.. asking people on a public forum, u seem to loose that.
the best place to ask this, is on the night, or after a set toa promotor/established dj.

do what feels right mate, im all for taking on feedback but at the same time you have to set a difference to yaself that only u should be able to find.
its the same as finding a performing name for yaself.

but u could also be over confident think u play fantastic and look like a complete fuckin idiot. I dont see a problem in asking for feedback, after all entering comps like this is suppose to provide a more in depth response in how u played and how u can improve. What better place to receive feedback than on a public forum.

stick with it Howlett

certainly, its about balance - should this be a forum for DJ`s, definately- perfect place for people to critique and should a punter come forward to comment, awesome, but asking - IN MY OPINION constantly portrays a sign of.. tackyness, to the punter ./promtor but thats just my thoughts.

Howlett knows i think of him pretty highly - for an 18y.o, this dude will be at the forefront of trance in adelaide for a while!
i think he`s tops!

Which tune are you refering too? Revolution? That was long I know. Other than that, i want to use the time i have available to get my speeds as close as i can...but if it is something that i need to do faster, i can do that :)

Thanks :thumbsup:

Hard house is good if you're

a) a chick
b) gay
c) with a hot chick who likes hard house and you're going to get some if you stick with her for the night. If you don't get any, then refer to b)

Geez fella's don't take me too seriously. Haha

I like all styles of music other than R&B. Play that shit out and you deserve to get your butt kicked. Old School hard house is good shit.

As for your question, I've seen Glazby a few times, yeah it's good stuff!
