Hey guys, as a semi new dj (been at it for about a year, only been getting club gigs for like, 2 months, most of them unpaid) I've made acquaintances with a couple of the head guys who run a local music festival in the fall
http://www.signalfest.com/
The festival has been running for about 4 years now, but the people in charge are always looking to improve the experience. Their mission is to bring great electronic music acts to our area, and to get more people involved in the electronic music scene in general. Signal Foundation is a registered non profit organization. While the main focus might seem to be nights of sick beats, Signal also hosts workshops during the day. At this point, pretty much all of this is up in the air for 2010 (as far as booking big names goes).
The guy in charge happens to run a club night that I dj at, and he invited me out to the first public planning meeting yesterday, which I attended. We skimmed over a lot of infomation in a short period, and the least I can say is I'm very excited, and I want to do anything I can to help make this another successful year for signal.
Anybody have any thoughts? I know there are some big names out there, with tons of valuable insight.
