Wednesday, Nov 11 Open Decks w/ Steen, MZ3, & Spam

About the party

Open Decks is a session in SILO Brooklyn's front room, hosted by DJ and musician Steen, where DJs from the crowd take turns playing house and techno. On Wednesday, November 11, the co-hosts are MZ3 and Spam. The draw is the room's sound system, which SILO describes as a custom 15,000 watt Danley rig.

What to expect

Part DJ night, part community session. Anyone who wants to play signs up with Steen in person, and each slot is 12 minutes. The first three DJs go in order of arrival; after that, names are drawn at random from the list through the night, with earlier arrivals weighted more heavily, and you get 30 minutes' notice before your turn. Capacity is limited. My take: this is mainly for DJs who want to hear their own picks or original tracks on a serious system, in a setting the hosts pitch as creative and fun.

Music and lineup

House and techno, played by the DJs who sign up on the night, according to the description. Steen hosts, with MZ3 and Spam as this week's co-hosts; whether the hosts play sets of their own, and when, is not confirmed. Because the players are chosen on the night, there is no lineup and no set times beyond the 12-minute slots.

Before you go

DICE lists doors at 7 PM on Wednesday, November 11. The description puts the first DJ sign-up at 8 PM, so arrive early if you want one of the first three slots. You can only sign up in person, on the night. The description says entry is by advance RSVP, which the DICE listing handles. 21+. It is in SILO's front room at 90 Scott Avenue, Bushwick, and capacity is limited. DICE lists the end as 2 PM on Thursday, November 12; the description gives no end time, so treat the end as unconfirmed. Questions go to Steen on Instagram at @steenschmidt. Re-entry, coat check, accessibility and nearest subway are not confirmed.
