DJing at Melbourne Lindy Exchange (MLX) 2005 (Thursday 17th to Sunday 20th November)

It’s that time of year where the one of the primary entertainment for MLX 2005 needs to be organised. As always, we want to have the highest standard of DJ’ing to ensure that dancers have the best possible weekend of music.
We are inviting experienced DJ’s thinking of attending MLX 2005 to submit an expression of interest: containing the following information:

1. A DJ profile (bio), no more than 200 words, of yourself to contain the following information:
- How long have your being DJ’ing,
- The major events you have DJ’ed at.
- Your aim and goals as a swing DJ.

2. A digital face shot (mug) photograph of yourself at no less than 500x400 pixels.

3. The nights from the Thursday 17th to Sunday 20th you are not available to DJ.

4. A cover letter, expanding the information in your profile to tell us about your DJ’ing. What type of music you spin to dancers and how you approach your DJ’ing.
Please also include if you DJ using the media of Computer or Compact disc.

5. Any DJ’s that have not DJ’ed at a previous MLX will need to provide a contact name and email address of a relatively well know person within the swing DJ’ing scene as a referee.

There are limited spaces for DJs this year, but successful applicants will be guaranteed a minimum of 90 minutes of DJ’ing at a rate of $25 per hour, free entry to the event they are DJ’ing at, possibly being part of a battle of the DJ’s, as well as the privilege of DJ’ing at one of the most important social events in the Australian swing calendar. Successful DJ’s will also have their profile and photo on the MLX 2005 website to promote the weekend’s entertainment.

Interested applicants must submit all of the above by Sunday the 25th of September 2005 by email to Brian Renehan at events@mlx2005.com.

We really look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

MLX5 CD shopping and DJ Summit @ MLX5

MLX5 CD shopping and DJ Summit @ MLX5
Saturday the 19th of November.

Cd shopping tour
There's nothing more fun that going CD shopping with lindy hoppers that love their music. What's even more fun is doing it in CD shops that you don't get to very often! The only thing you'll need to bring is your yearly CD budget and a zone one metcard!
Let's look forward to catching that "BIG FISH".
Starts off in Degraves Street at 1:00pm – assemble at 12:45pm ie at Brunch.

DJ Summit
It seems that keeping dancers happy is of the utmost importance to the Swing DJ at the moment. The DJ Summit is an opportunity for experienced DJs and those with a keen interest in Swing music to get together and share DJing ideas and music recommendations. The summit will be the finishing part of Jazz CD shopping tour which starts in Degraves Street at 1:00pm in the CBD.
So make sure you bring along your monthly CD budget and some of your favorite CDs or MP3s.
Location: - Houndstooth cafe, 36 Johnston St, Fitzroy (very near the Laundry).
Time 3:30pm or when ever the CD tour gets there.

Pod Casting the Summit.
That’s right. We are going to Pod Cast the Summit, so I you can’t make it you can still find out what was talked about.

Have a topic you would like to be discuss.
It’s obvious that not everyone can come to Melbourne and make the Summit, so we are inviting DJ’s and music fans to submit questions or topics to be discuss at the DJ Summit. If you couldn’t make it, you can check out the Pod Cast to get your answer. Even if you can make it, and you have something you really want to make sure is covered, please also send in the Question.
Items / questions, to be emailed to – events@mlx2005.com by Thursday the 17th of November.

Thanks
Brian
