CT Open Decks was created with the goal of growing the CT house music scene by providing more opportunities for DJs to play, as well for fans of house music to come dance and find their new favorite sound! So whether you’re a DJ, a dancer, or just love the vibes, we encourage you to come through and meet your people!
CONSIDERATIONS:
important! read this before signing up!
This is a house-music-focused event. While we love all kinds of dance music, the goal of this event is to help grow the house scene in CT and help house DJs, fans, and promoters meet and network with each other. We understand that genres aren’t an exact science, they bend and blend — we aren’t going to micromanage your set, but generally, please make sure you are playing house music if you sign up. This is not a bass music, dubstep, techno, or open format event.
A Pioneer Opus Quad and an XDJ will be available at the event. To use the Opus Quad, you MUST bring a Rekordbox USB using the Device Library Plus format. If you are unsure if your USB is using the correct library format, please refer to OUR TUTORIAL PAGE. If your USB does not work, and you have no backup solution, your slot will be given to someone else. If you are unsure if your USB will work, you should sign up for the back room and use the XDJ.
The event runs from 8pm - 12:30am
Sets are 45 mins long. There are 12 slots available at the next event, split between a front and back room.
We do not currently offer turntables for vinyl (but we’re working on it). Please do not bring your own turntables.
Please arrive at least 15 min prior to your set. Time is limited, and if you do not show up by your assigned start time, your slot may be given to someone else.
The event occurs at Stella Blues in New Haven, CT (204 Crown St.)
While we encourage new DJs to get familiar with a Pioneer setup, you are welcome to bring and use your own controller; but it must be set up and ready to go by the time your set starts. Any time spent setting up beyond that point will eat into your set time. Sets will not be extended. You can connect via RCA into the decks. We will provide XLR and RCA connections, if you require a different setup, make sure to bring the appropriate cables and/or adapters with you, or you will not be able to play.
