Hosted by DJ and musician Steen, Open Decks is a creative and fun space where DJs can hang and share their house and techno music live. Hear your favorite or original tracks on Silo's front room sound system, a custom 15,000 watt Danley powerhouse. If you want to play, talk to Steen to sign up. Sign-up is in person at the event only, slots are 12 minutes. The first 3 DJ's play first-come-first-spin. Then we'll select names randomly from the sign-up list throughout the night. You'll get a half hour notice before your set time. This is to ensure that DJ's who can't make the initial sign up right at 8pm still get a chance to play. Free with advance RSVP. Question? Hit up your host on IG @steenschmidt This edition of open decks will encourage local producers to show off their original tracks. Producers can use the first minute or two of their open decks slot to get on the mic and talk about their tracks, their creative process, and collaboration ideas. The full slot, including introduction, is still 12 minutes. This week's co-hosts are SurfingDJs, the dynamic DJ and production duo of Hannah Roth and Jean-François Collard. Their sound, a vibrant mix of progressive house and driving tech house, reflects their diverse backgrounds. Hannah's upbringing across South Africa and Lesotho infuses their music with a global sensibility, while JF's roots in the south of France contribute a touch of European flair. Dedicated to crafting original music, they rarely venture into the realm of covers, remixes, or mashups. Their commitment to authentic expression results in high-energy, dance-floor-ready tunes. Beyond the studio, the duo shares a passion for surfing, often hitting the waves at their beloved Rockaway Beach spot. This shared love of the ocean and the energy of the surf translates into their music, creating a sound that is both exhilarating and deeply connected. In SILO's front room. Limited capacity. Presented by SILO Brooklyn. This is a 21+ event
