Open Decks Nights

or the guy who spins nothing but terrorcore or speedcore, or godforbid pisscore(look it up its real I swear to christ its real).

Wha? Wha? Wha?
Probably should put some limits in place. A friend of mine has a bar w/ open mic, and he has to explicitly state no Jam Sessions, a time limit on each song. No speed limit really, but it would probably apply here.

The place I mentioned before had a 30 min time slot and would call you back later depending on the reaction of the crowd. It definately makes sense

This is a great idea I wish they had this in Los Angeles. I have started my own DJ group trying to unite all EDM DJs together. The group is doing pretty good I always try to stay active and weed out all the slackers. If anyone is from LA and wants to join you can check it out http://www.meetup.com/LA-DJs/

I also think 30 minutes is not enough time. I think 1hr would be perfect. I mean how many songs can you play in 30 minutes? Maybe 4? How do you determine a good dj vs a bad dj with 4 songs? At least with 1 hour you will have the time to show your creative edge. I usually give minimum of 1 hrs slots when booking DJs.

If anything comes up in the LA area please let me know.

I know there are some in new york, forget where though... I got an email about one in december.

edit: it was http://www.sapphirenyc.com/

I don't know if it's a regular thing or what or if it was a special event.

Depends what you're spinning. Hip-Hop/Top 40 will get you around 8-10. Probably more if you drop a quick edit.

Playing only 4 in 30 min your not going to do much mixing if each song is going to be 6 mins only filtering and fxing. thats not mixing but DJ'ing
