Tuesday, Oct 27 Open Decks w/ Steen & David "Techno Blade"

About the party

SILO's Open Decks, hosted by DJ and musician Steen, runs in the front room on Tuesday, October 27, with co-host David 'Techno Blade', an NYC DJ and producer. DJs sign up in person for 12-minute slots on the front room's custom 15,000-watt Danley sound system.

What to expect

The open decks are for house and techno, and this week's co-host leans toward dark, gothic hard techno and hardstyle, per the listing. Entry is by advance RSVP on DICE, and the front room has limited capacity. SILO's ticketed events use loud music, strobes and haze. My take: a good Tuesday for DJs who want to test tracks on a serious system and for dancers curious about local talent.

Music and lineup

No fixed lineup: the DJs are whoever signs up. Sign-up opens in person at 8 PM; the first three DJs play first come, first spin, then names are drawn at random through the night with extra weight for early arrivals, and each DJ gets half an hour of notice. Co-host David 'Techno Blade' is described as playing dark, gothic hard techno and hardstyle.

Before you go

Listed 7 PM to 2 AM, 21+, with government-issued photo ID or passport. RSVP in advance. SILO's FAQ says re-entry is usually allowed but exits may be final at capacity, coat check is available, all spaces including the main entrance at 90 Scott Ave are wheelchair accessible, restrooms are gender neutral, and free water is at the front bar. Smokers use a designated area outside the side door, with a stamp check to come back in.
