Bite is one of the few places where you can take control of the music, just follow the guide below and you could be invited to play your tunes at full volume at one of MK’s best club nights!
#1 Submit a Play-list
We ask you to submit a play-list because it is the best way of showing us that you care enough to want to play, after numerous no-shows before we started doing this we now find that 99.9% of people who send us a play-list actually show up to play it!
We accept play-list submissions in several formats
- The super sparkly option
We quite like Spotify if you can find all your tracks on there sending us a Spotify play-list link would be awesome. - The average Joe option
Export a plain text play-list in itunes and send it to us, or just type a list and send it. - The technophobic option
Write your play-list and contact details on a sheet of paper and give it to the DJ’s on a Monday night.
#2 Make your play-list come to life
Although he looked pretty dapper, his hardware wasn't compatible with ours Image via Wikipedia
Once you’ve been given a date to unleash your musical genius on the masses there are two ways you can bring your playlist along to us
- Digitally
Basically you need a FAT32 formatted disk, it can be a tiny ickle memory stick or a great big USB hard drive..
The only thing we (and the decks) care about is that its FAT32 formatted, otherwise the decks will throw a hissy fit and the longest hour of silence you have ever known will commence.Also please make sure that your songs are at least 192Kbps quality otherwise it sounds like farts
- Old Skool
Our decks play CD’s so you can bring along a pile of them (just check for scratches or jumps on the tracks you want to use first) . Alternatively you can burn two identical CD’s with your play-list on, just make sure they play in a normal CD player or our old friend eerie silence could make an appearance.
#3 Plan your emergency escape
Always make sure you add a few extra tracks when you burn your disk, therefore if people start throwing bricks or your chosen track decides to take a holiday you can always rise from the ashes.
#4 Turn up early (or on time at least)
Especially if you haven’t used our decks before (CDJ-900′s for all you techno-nerds) , we normally like to give you a quick overview of how the set-up works and also it gives us time to help you out if you have any technical nightmares (usb drives can malfunction )
#5 Don’t take advice as criticism
We are here to help, and have as much passion for music as you do, but you also have to realise you’re playing to the rest of the club so if we start looking panicky when you cue up a Beethoven track don’t take it personally when we ask you to skip to Slipknot.
