Post by: eHash on May 30, 2013, 03:37:04 PM
FANIMECON DANCE STAFF APPLICATION FOR 2014
This application is intended to provide you an opportunity to express your interest in performing at the FanimeCon 2014 Dance.

  in DJing than spots available.  The DJ Selection process has been put in place to create a fair

  events during FanimeCon which promote a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience
  for attendees.  These dance events must contribute to the overall success
  and support the growth of FanimeCon.

     of conduct for all FanimeCon Staff members and attendees.

What's up guys? My name is Aaron aka Q-0n. This will be my second year at Fanime. Last year was an amazing experience for me and the dance was by far the most memorable part for me. I hope this year ill get the opportunity to be part of that with ya'll. I spin Happy Hardcore/UKHC/DnB. If there's anyone else here who is a fan of the harder styles let me know. I wanted to hear more hard dance last year but not all the hard dance genre's appease the general public. But i think Happy hardcore has so many geeky nerd remixes of either anime shows, video games or things of that nature that appeal to most of the people that attend Fanime.

Awwww Yeah! You know im down to drop the bangerz. I also like to incorporate Dnb into my mixes as well. I just love breakbeats and since its the same speed as hardcore, the transitions sounds awesome. What are you going to spin genesis? ???

If 2013 was any indication, and it's pretty safe to say it is, both stages had CDJs and an SL interface.

IIRC the main stage had 900s with an SL4, and the smaller stage had either 1000s or 850s with an SL2.

Either way, hardware was provided.

Hey yo! So I have a question.

With following the Fanime Con guidelines how much swearing is allowed? I am working on a few mashups that have some swear words and I want to figure out how much is allowed before submitting my set. I am used to DJ'in mature crowds that don't have to many restrictions so as to stick to Fanime's family friendly vibe  what is the line I can't cross.

Thanks!

Post by: Q-0n on December 18, 2013, 01:59:15 PM
good question. i would like to know as well as i have a few tracks with swear words or reference to drugs
Title: Re: FANIMECON 2014 DANCE - OFFICIAL DJ APPLICATION
Post by: BlueComet on December 21, 2013, 11:24:12 AM
I only have one track I would love to play that has swears in it. Track in question is (WTF ?!?!?Coming Soon !!! Remix)
Title: Re: FANIMECON 2014 DANCE - OFFICIAL DJ APPLICATION
Post by: caineyamiyasha on December 31, 2013, 02:49:06 AM
Alright just sent in my application and sample song set! I look forward to hearing back in February.

Left in the tracks with mild swearing and if it turns out to be an issue later those can always be edited out. :)

If it could be offensive to anyone, it shouldn't be played at the Fanime dance. Extreme amounts of swearing, any drug references, or sexualized material are frowned upon since the dance is not an 18+ event.
Title: Re: FANIMECON 2014 DANCE - OFFICIAL DJ APPLICATION
Post by: DJBladekind on January 13, 2014, 03:03:28 PM
I also accidentally left like.. two swears in my mix but knowing this and going forward, I'll make it a priority to blip out anything that could possibly offend anyone should I get a slot.

Good luck, fellow potentials!

I wouldn't worry about it too much in your promo submission as long as your mix isn't thoroughly laced with profanity, etc.
Title: Re: FANIMECON 2014 DANCE - OFFICIAL DJ APPLICATION
Post by: bluefir111 on January 25, 2014, 03:33:43 PM
Around when will the djs be notified and how will they be notified that they were chosen?

Seconding this. Im anxous yet nervous to know if i got selected, really hope i did. not only would it be an honor for me but it would be a dream come true.
Title: Re: FANIMECON 2014 DANCE - OFFICIAL DJ APPLICATION
Post by: DJEAR on February 02, 2014, 04:55:04 AM
o   Final selections will be made and selected DJs will be notified by February 1, 2014.
         o   DJs that were not selected will be notified on February 16, 2014.


So - the way it appears is that:
Now that it's Feb2nd - If you didn't get an EMail yesterday confirming your being selected, then you will recieve a formal notice on the 16th to let you know you were not selected.
Which is kinda odd - because it's kinda obvious that you didn't get picked, if you havn't gotten an EMail on the 1st...
Title: Re: FANIMECON 2014 DANCE - OFFICIAL DJ APPLICATION

Title: Re: FANIMECON 2014 DANCE - OFFICIAL DJ APPLICATION
Post by: abcbadcat on February 03, 2014, 01:13:46 AM
Last year, the selections were a month to nearly two months behind so just hold on tight guys!

Post by: Q-0n on February 05, 2014, 01:51:06 PM
Ok. Glad to hear you guys didn't receive any emails either cause I for sure didn't. They are most likely late on listening to all of our mixes. Theres no possible way they booked a bunch of djs to fill a weekend of dances and none of us got the email for the booking
Title: Re: FANIMECON 2014 DANCE - OFFICIAL DJ APPLICATION
Post by: caineyamiyasha on February 17, 2014, 01:50:28 AM
At first I thought "nobody got in" but now after not hearing anything today my verdict is "everybody is in!". But seriously I am happy I read page two and saw there were others just as confused as me. Hang in there everybody!
Title: Re: FANIMECON 2014 DANCE - OFFICIAL DJ APPLICATION

Same here.
Next Sunday will be exactly 2Months until the con - Hardly time to really promote dances or anything...

ANYTHING we can do to speed the process along at this point I think we are willing to do. Just to know if we are on the bill or not.

2 of the rooms are the same as last year, the 3rd will be on the terrace side of the hallway directly behind the genre room.
The convention center has renamed/renumbered the rooms.

Still have not received my reply after many efforts to contact both the dance@fanime email and yours. i submitted my application back in october and so I would really appreciate the courtesy of a reply for the application i took a lot of time to fill out nicely. Especially since it appears im not on the bill

q-on:
I believe i only received 1 email from you on the 25th which I gave you a formal response this morning.

Until we sort out who is bringing equipment for the 3rd room on my staff (since it is not provided the con),
I am unable to book someone for this room. 

I need to understand the rules governing the equipment set by the owner first.  The person who provides
equipment for this room does so at their own risk.  If another DJ damages it (blows the speakers or breaks
knobs on the mixer), it is at the owner's loss. <- because of this I am not willing to lock the dance into a
situation where we can't manage the content/programming of it.

This is already a prequisite of the third room.  You would also need to provide 3 tops and 2 subs and let everyone spinning this room use it and if anything breaks it's on you.  This is why we are still negotiating the equipment for this room.

This is probably way too early to ask, but when would the next years DJ application be up to apply for? I completely missed this years, but I don't want to miss an opportunity for next years haha. I've been going to Fanime for the for the passed 8 years and would love to finally spin one of the nights (: If anyone needs to be subbed out for any of the nights I'm completely willing to step in! https://soundcloud.com/alansoulmixes

As someone who has tried a touch of dubstep in their set last year, it seemed like more people left and weren't into it moreso than into it. I also know in previous years, the outcry from guests was more negative towards dubstep at the dance so it's inclusion as a featured genre was omitted. Since it is not a featured genre, that does not mean any given DJ will not play dubstep at all in their sets.

I did find the genres a little confusing though as there isn't JPop as a genre and KPop is. As well as Top 40 not being it's own genre as all Electro House isn't Top 40 and vise vesa. What is really confusing is how Hardcore, DnB and Electro House are subgenres of Trance. wut

Hey guys,

I don't know where else to put this but here goes.  I want to know if any of you know of any HAPPY HARDCORE/DNB remixes of ANIME themes.  I have PLENTY of remixes of videogame tracks and so forth but there's a major hole in the anime department and I REALLY want to make an effort to fill this for you guys.  So far I only have an Inner Universe remix that is really good but that's just about it.  LEMME KNOW ASAP.

Once again I would like to thank the Fanime staff for being selected this year. It's definitely one of my favorite things I have had the opportunity to have done these past two years and will hope to be selected again next year.

:D
