BADASS Raves DJ Discovery Contest

Tri-State Jam launched a few months ago with an article about local trance-house DJ from Hagerstown, MD: Virtek. Since that article posted, Virtek has played several kick-ass events, including several at the Baltimore venues "Grafitti Warehouse" and "The Chop Shop", and raised the energy two nights in a row at Mountain Madness 5, playing till dawn or the equipment shut down. Continuing to book gigs almost every weekend, Virtek has also recently entered into the BADASS-Raves DJ Discovery Contest, found here: https://wavo.me/apps/charts/badass-raves-contest

BADASS Raves throws some highly anticipated and major events in the Baltimore/Tri-State Area, and is currently on the look-out for some more major talent to include in their up-coming line-ups. Selected winners will be chosen based on quality of mix, song selection, and who's got a big following via votes.

Too Short for a Name by Virtek on Mixcloud

If you are a fan of Virtek's article and music (article found here: http://tristatejam.blogspot.com/2013/08/dj-virtek-progressive-house-electro.html), and would like to see him out-and-about at upcoming shows, then please visit the following links to vote for either (or both) of his submissions:

All mixes can be found via mixcloud: http://www.mixcloud.com/Virtek/

This is also a post to encourage all other local DJs to enter and have their sound be heard. While I highly encourage the notice of Virtek, please support all local musicians in their expeditions. Help spread the word, and never stop listening.

Updates

Sometimes, Life takes off with us before we can even blink.

I apologize to all followers for the delay and decrease in posts lately. Hopefully, that'll be up to change! However, I am deciding to make some adjustments to Tri-State Jam.

Firstly, before anything else, the 2 Sides 2 Die interview will be posted this week! That is still happening, and I'm excited for everyone to get an in-depth look into this band. Having know lead man Zack Burkett for years, having watched 2 Sides 2 Die change many members and evolve through sound, I can't wait to introduce you into what is coming up next for them!

As for changes: I'm deciding to cut the Bi-Weekly Features (after 2 Sides 2 Die) and post articles/interviews as the interest comes. This could be either introduce an influx, or a decrease -- it's hard to tell. I'm also going to make an attempt to post more information regarding the local music scene in general -- show reminders, venue reviews, music contest, what-have-you! So if you have any information you'd like to share, if there is anything local music related that you would like to promote, please, reach out, and we will talk.

I would love and will accept any help from anyone in the local music scene who wants to donate their time whenever available, as well. Whether conducting interviews, writing articles, posting about show reviews, etc., anyone just looking for a writing or music out-let, here is an opportunity; just because my schedule over-flows does not mean I want to see this project die, and any help I can get would be much appreciated.
