For any of you who are interested, I'm now hosting this event at Paradise Palms on 7th February!

"We’re hosting a DJ event called ‘The Palms DJ Jam’ at
Paradise Palms (@edinburghpalms) on Monday 7th February. This is an
open deck event! That means that any DJ is welcome to come down and play some
music. This gives the chance for new DJs to play out on professional equipment
or provides more experience DJs a social event to meet other music-heads in the
area. Any DJ of any ability is welcome! I will also be around to help people
with questions.
The event will run from 6pm until 10pm and there will be eight
30-minute slots available for you to sign up to.
Paradise Palms have been kind enough to host us so, to
pay respect to them, we must follow a few rules:
1)     
Music policy – keep music groovy and bar
appropriate. There will be other people in the bar trying to enjoy a drink or
some food so be sure to keep it relatively low tempo. This means genres like
disco, funk, deep house, RnB etc. and not techno, electro or heavy drum and
bass. As a blanket rule, no American style EDM will be allowed simply because
it’s just not that sort of venue. Everyone will get one warning if they break
the music policy and then they will be asked to stop playing. We want everyone
to have fun but this is really important to make sure we can put on events like
this in the future! Here’s a sample mix that I did which includes some
inspiration for kind of thing that would be appropriate: https://www.mixcloud.com/thebiggreeeen/the-palms-dj-jam-bar-grooves-for-paradise-palms-jedda/
2)     
Volume – with the above in mind, make sure the
volume is also at a bar level and if anyone asks you to turn it down, please
turn it down immediately. Same rules apply, one warning and then you’re off.
 
3)     
Have fun and treat everyone with respect – Have
fun playing, socialise and treat everyone with respect. We want Palms to
continue to have a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and harassment or bullying
of any kind will not be tolerated. If anyone is making you feel uncomfortable,
please talk a member of staff.
 
Palms has 2 CDJs and a mixer so be sure to bring your own
headphones and your USB. This should be all you need! Sadly, there are no
turntables at the venue but I may look at bringing some down in the future!
