If I were to DJ, would you come dance and help me have fun with the accessible free-software DJ tool I spent this year writing?

2019-04-02 Thread Sam Hartman
So, I know that at past Debconfs people have sometimes gotten together for some impromptu dancing to music. I got interested in mixing music as part of putting together my wedding. Because I'm blind, most of the existing DJ software wasn't something I could approach. (Yes, digital vinyl systems

Trancing Out with DJ DPL: Music Suggestions

2019-06-30 Thread Sam Hartman
So it looks like I'm hosting a dance party Tuesday evening. I'm excited and nervous. I'm hoping to show a bit of what music means to me and to put it into the context of Debian. Most of my catalog is Trance with Progressive, Progressive House and a bit of Techno thrown in for fun. Looking for s

Come join me and dance at the venu tonight starting at 8 PM just after dinner. We'll be in near the restaurant. I'll start out with a set of tracks taken from Debian (games, demos and the like). Then I'll move into a more traditional electronic set playing Trance, Progressive, a bit of Progres

I want to thank everyone who joined in Tuesday night. I haven't had that much fun in a long time! There will be DJs at the conference dinner and the local team has asked if I could play too. After that much fun, I'm going to try and work with them and see if we can make that happen. --Sam
