Silo here we come

We are still expecting more demo contest winners to be announced, but for us the major contest related work is done. It's about time to start focussing on our party at Silo, where 21 of our contest winners will perform. First we need to re-think and re-investigate our location. We looked for a building from where we can keep an eye on Silo. We found one and made our first spy picture:


It was perfect, not only could we spy on Silo, we could also monitor the activities in the Inbev building, where the soon-to-be-our beer was beeing made.


We fell in love with the building and decided, to make our office there. We chose a room on one of the lower levels and started designing the flyer for Silence @ Silo.


Our plan is to print this flyer as a sticker...we'll call it "the flicker". It should be pre-cut, so you can take out the square with the "S" and stick it somewhere.

The Selection Procedure

I'm getting mails by dissapointed artists who didnt win this contest. Many of them ask why we didnt publish the shortlist which was presented to our final jury. Today I answered this question for one of them, so I'll share this with the rest of you. In the comment to this blogspot you can read my answer to why the shortlist wasnt published. (dutch only)

Winners Fuse

Clubowners Nick and David had a thorough listen to the demo's and chose the following winners: hypnofunk, phreak, raphael klaps and steve slight. I heard them talking about letting these artists fill an entire night in the motion room while inviting Dave Clarke in the main room, but this has not been confirmed yet. So the exact date isn't set yet, but the four winners can rest asure they will be contacted for the booking!
