Come through to Dial Radio’s Autumn Boogie, dance to some tunes by the radio regulars, and contribute your own songs!

The idea is to step aside from highly-curated and very personalized radio shows; anyone who’s up for providing an extended playlist of songs can pick a sonic background for a moment in the day.

Each day features four moments: morning, afternoon, evening and night. Rather than live broadcasting, anyone can suggest a playlist of songs for one of those moments, lasting between 1 and 6 hours. These songs can come from a commercial provider (e.g. Youtube, Soundcloud, Spotify), or be a bunch of files sent by email.

If you like the idea and would like to participate, you can contribute some playlists.

♫ THE JAM CATS SESSION ♫
HEY, YOU COOL CATS!

The Jam Cats live session is a dancing jam session with a different opening band each time. It carries on the legacy of old jazz mingling live sessions and DJ sets.
We want everyone to have fun, dancers and musicians alike with a stage open for early Jazz, Swing, RnB, and other fun styles to dance to with a focus on Balboa since we are operating with Bellmer Balboa. However, we are a separate event and we often cross over between different sub-genres of jazz and swing.
The jam will be run by members of the Syncopation Society to ensure that the party flows, allowing everyone to dance,
or simply sit back and enjoy the music.

DISCLAIMER FOR MUSICIANS
Coming to the JAM CATS grants you free entrance. Just keep in mind that this is a DANCE EVENT and it implies being reactive and keeping your solos short and sweet. If you are up for it, be prepared to be reactive on stage. If you want to play, make it clear and talk to one of the musicians on stage to see when is a good time to step in. There's a piano on the stage with atmospheric amplification.

CODE OF CONDUCT:
The official restrictions are lifted for now, but we still recommend doing a test before you come anyway.
It is our aim to create a safe, respectful and welcoming environment for everybody. Within the Syncopation Society, we are working to develop an anti-racist and feminist common ground. Through self-education, we are striving to recognise and stop racist, discriminatory, sexist and homophobic behaviour, as well as other forms of social injustice. We want to remove the barriers established by economic inequality. Important to us is also that the venue of the festival is accessible for people with all kinds of physical conditions.
We want to celebrate diversity in all its forms. We invite you to do the same. We seek to recognise unconscious bias and act against obvious or micro-aggressions of others. As we might not be aware of everything, please help us and let us know if you are missing essentials that you need to feel included and comfortable, or if you experience or witness an unpleasant situation. We are always available for you.

As a collective made up of musicians, DJs and dancers the Syncopation Society feels deeply that it is vital, not only to give recognition to the creators of the music we perform and dance to but to also acknowledge the world in which they lived and the struggles they faced, due to historical and structural racism. We aim to keep educating ourselves on Black heritage. Avoiding cultural appropriation requires an amount of reverence and acknowledgement of history and context. This challenge is important to us in many aspects of life.

It’s a cuddly muddly house party!

Come join us on the 12th of October at Crack Bellmer for a cozy session, from 3 to 10PM. We provide a yumyum buffet, ping pong and an interactive programme.

We will start with an entry level vinyl workshop, explaining how a vinyl player is set up, how to cue your records and how to get your first transitions done. RSVP through the link further down.

Afterwards we invite you to join our sweet karaoke session with an open queue and lots of room for performances. Avril Lavigne, ABBA or Wir sind Helden? You name it, you sing it. Don’t be shy, rock the mic, you are the star!

Finally we close the evening with some VK residents DJ sets going b2b2b, providing some juicy grooves to either make you dance or run around the ping pong table (we see you lol).

Entry is 10€ suggested donation - feel free to pay as much as you want and can.

There is no place for any form of discrimination, unconsentual behaviour or harassment. If you feel unwell please contact the bar, door, or organizers of the evening.
