“We will be together for all of your lifetimes. And we will never give up.”
Here it is, folks! “Harmony”- the centerpiece and final entry of my triptych tribute to the amazing, forever-inspiring “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “The Legend of Korra” series! It’s been a long time coming, but I hope you all enjoy! Together, “Peace,” “Harmony,” and “Balance” equate my love and affection for such a phenomenal project that achieved so much. Thank you Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino for your vision that has been nothing short of one of the greatest animated series I’ve ever known!
So, you wanna spin at Geek Kon? Think you have what it takes to help rock this show into the stars? Here’s what it’s going to take! X-Geek Media is once again hosting this year’s dance. Their staff has over 20 years combined experience in con dance planning and promotion, and is headed by staff DJ’s, Jason “Liquid86” Bruner and Andrew “Kurtz Callum” Hiss. We are looking for 3 DJ’s. Geek Kon is seeking a high energy club atmosphere for their dance this year and the guidelines are as follows:
We will be holding an open audition process. You will need to assemble a 30 minute “Essential Mix” in the style you are intending to play for Geek Kon and submit a link to us by July 31st.
Links can be from SoundCloud, Mixcloud, or via a file sharing site such as Dropbox. Be advised- if we cannot access your link or mix when we receive your email, it WILL NOT get reviewed.
Submissions should either be a live mix recording from a show, or a raw demo: Do NOT edit, modify, master or otherwise make any post alterations in any way, we can tell if you do, and you will be disqualified.
Profanity is OK, but keep it reasonable.
We have no set “quotas” for a specific style. While it is highly unlikely we will have a 5 hour show in a single style, we do need to recognize the broader appeal of certain genres over others.
Submissions will be chosen primarily on mass appeal and technical execution. .
Please do not contact Geek Kon or X-Geek in regards to your submission after you have submitted it. We will email you a confirmation it was received within 1 week of receiving it.
Submission email should include:
One paragraph bio.
HIGH RESOLUTION head shot or logo (*.png format is preferred),
Contact info (full name, address, phone number, email address),
Any social media links you wish to share,
Links to your Mixcloud or SoundCloud,
The gear you intend to use (ie, Laptop and DDJ-SX Controller, Turntables, Etc.)
DJ’s will have an opportunity on Friday and Saturday to perform from the X-Geek booth, those interested should indicate so in their email.
We reserve the right to deny any submission for any reason.
SHOULD YOU BE CHOSEN TO DJ FOR GEEK KON, WE EXPECT THE FOLLOWING (If you’re not willing to abide by these rules, please do not submit a demo):
DJ’s will be chosen by August 7th.
DJ’s are expected to find their own lodging and transportation to Geek Kon, though food during the dance and a badge for the weekend will be granted.
Show will be properly formatted based on style and appeal. More mainstream sets will stand a better chance of going earlier in the night.
DJ’s are expected to be able to mix live utilizing their own gear or another present DJ’s gear. You will not be allowed to play a prerecorded set for the actual dance. If you intend to use another DJ’s gear this must be agreed upon ahead of time by both DJ’s. Do not assume this is OK.
DJ’s who show up to the dance severely under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be allowed to perform. You are expected to be able to function, perform and be professional. Violation may result in confiscation of your badge and removal from the con.
While we understand that there can be changes in music and taste, if you perform a set that is drastically different from what you submit to us your set may be cut short.
Geek Kon will not provide any equipment for you other than an audio connection and power.
We reserve the right to ban specific tracks or remixes from your sets (though this is unlikely).
You will be expected to work alongside a Light Jockey, a Video Jockey, and go-go dancers on stage. Photographers and Videographers may also work in close proximity to you, and you must agree to allow Geek Kon and X-Geek Media to use your photo or likeness in any future promotions.
You will be expected to attend a brief dance orientation on Saturday morning, and be present for setup and tear down before and after the dance.
There will be a designated MC, though DJ’s will be granted the opportunity to thank the crowd and say a few words after their sets.
Any instructions from the Geek Kon tech staff, hotel staff, or dance crew must be followed explicitly and without hesitation.
