FAQ

I'm from a record label or in a band, how can I send you tracks?

Please see the Contact page for my contact information. If I like what I hear, I will play it. Please do not contact me asking me why I'm not playing any of your material.

I'm under 19 and your event says 19+. Can I still get in?

Under no circumstance will there be any exceptions if my event says 19+ and you're under the age of 19. Reason is, the event is held at a club and they have a liquor license. Even if you wouldn't drink anything, if they are caught selling alcohol to minors, the club would face fines or even lose their liquor license.

Is there a dress code during La danse noire?

I've never been a strong believer in dress codes so there is definitely no dress code during La danse noire, however, black is generally the colour of choice for most people. If you want to dress up, you're more than welcome to.
