Friday Night Dance
Attention fandom! ConCept’s infamous DJ, RadioFreeZetox, will be taking control of the dance floor at the Post-Auroras dance on the Friday Night of Anticipation!
For those of you not familiar with RadioFreeZetox, that’s the DJ alter-ego of Andrew Gurudata, a dual-citizen of the Montreal and Toronto science fiction fandom communities since 1991. RadioFreeZetox made his first “pinch-hit” appearance at Montreal’s ConCept convention in 2006, and has since become the event’s regular DJ. He is also now the recurring DJ for Toronto’s Ad Astra convention, and has also DJed for various events for the fandom community, including birthdays, wedding receptions, Christmas parties, and fundraising dances. He has also appeared on TV as the Guest DJ in an episode of CITY-TV’s Ed& Red’s Night Party!
RadioFreeZetox focuses on a blend of music that he refers to as “MusicForTheMasses”, which is a blend of “retro-80s” and “modern rock alternative”, with dabblings into other genres at the fringes of these styles. RadioFreeZetox does NOT play much Disco or HipHop or Techno. However, you never know what surprises may pop in when the songs start playing…
And he loves getting requests in advance! Just head over to his website at http://www.vex.net/~guru/RadioFreeZetox/ and use the “Online Request Form” to submit your choices today! And while you’re there, be sure to vote in the Midnight Song Poll - he is giving YOU the chance to decide what song is truly worthy of the important Midnight time slot!
So don’t turn into a pumpkin, come dancing instead! See you there!
