Have iPod, will DJ

At North London’s Playlist Club, digital music lovers participate in a new democratic clubbing experience: the crowd shows up with 15-minute playlists on their iPods and sign up to play their sets to the dancing crowd. Everything iPod sponsors prizes for the best sets, voted on by volunteer judges.

The hip new trend has been given thumbs up by London’s trendy Time Out magazine and Blogcritics.org. Seems like a fantastic concept to me - I’m all about encouraging a paradigm shift towards participatory entertainment, as opposed to passive consumption. Let’s get this party started in the States! I’m sure there are underground iPod parties already going on - anybody have tips on where they are, other than my living room??
