marcid21 Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 Best Bars To Be An Amateur D.J.Good news for bedroom D.J.'s: As a gesture of good will and cultural openness, more and more bars are letting their customers provide the tunes. (Or maybe they just want to spend less money on pro turntablists?) At any rate, here are the best spots to spin your way to stardom. No Simon Cowell to worry about-just your drunk friends cheering you on."The Record Party" at Halcyon takes place on the first Monday of every month. All you have to do is arrive at 8:30 p.m., sign up for a time slot, and they'll hand over the tables. All styles of music are welcome (though the sound leans toward the electronic), and the chill crowd and comfy setting make even beginners feel at ease. Bring your own needles. Magnetic Fields in Brooklyn Heights also hosts an open-turntable night, starting every Monday around 9 p.m. Bring your own records, sign up with the bartender for a half-hour slot, and spin to your heart's content. Less spontaneous (read: more prepared) types can check out "Homegrown" every Tuesday at the cozy, unpretentious Sin Sin, where four 60-minute slots are reserved each week for fledgling D.J.'s. Drop off your demo tape for a chance to spin at future parties. If the last time you held a vinyl LP was when you bought Thriller in '85, there's always the "iParty" at APT. Starting at 9:30 on Tuesday (and going on until about 3 a.m.), trendy partygoers, armed with two iPods and a mixer, sign up for seven-minute time slots in which they choose from over 3,000 preprogrammed songs while rowdy onlookers shout their approval-or their dismay. (Hint: On one evening, Neil Diamond was not particularly well received.) And if your Mac is your musical medium of choice, head to Openair at 5 p.m. on Sundays for "Share," where an eclectic mix of hippie-ish East Villagers, black-clad techies, and Williamsburg new-media types bring in their impossibly skinny laptops, plug in to the server, and make group music and visuals that are piped and projected throughout the party. Martinis abound, and even Luddites are welcome. that's a sweet lil' write up! Up there with Halcyon and Open Air...you guys have come a long way since Rt. 85A, eh?
