Instead of trying to replicate an authentic club night online (you can't), the evening will be embedded in internet culture. Internet culture parallels early rave culture in terms of that it means participation. This evening, DJs will play back-to-back sets 'versus' the audience.
'Hard dance' refers to the harder styles of global dance music. From hardtechno to breakcore to reggaeton with a gabber kick: all good, as long as it can be described as either hard or fast, and preferably both.

Plug.dj is a 'visual chatroom' with avatars, where people can join a DJ queue and play tracks. People can chat and make their avatars dance by upvoting music.
The mobile site sucks, so we want to make sure people show up from their laptops!
You can build a playlist with tracks from Soundcloud. Unfortunately it's impossible to mix tracks, as one would normally do.

DJs will have a 45 minute time slot to play tracks. The DJ queue will be open, which means that each time the DJ finishes a track, the next person in the queue will get behind the decks and will be allowed to play a track themselves. So it's basically a b2b with the dancefloor.
Slots (work in progress):
??:?? - 20:30: warmup Viva Bas Vegas vs audience
20.30 - 21.15: Dynamic Range versus audience
21.15 - 22.00: Sasha Kills versus audience
22.00 - 22.45: Polly Hertz versus audience
22.45 - 23.30: Egregore versus audience
23.30 - ????: open decks for audience and DJs
