DJ Chalk

Nov 3 · 5:40p · 45 min · Devcon 8 Music Space, Mumbai

DRAFT rider. Built 27 Oct 2026 from the artist’s own words where they wrote to us, and from their application form where they have not yet. Never a guessed connector — where we don’t know, the page asks.

🗓️ Who / when


Set	Mon 3 Nov · 5:40p (IST) · 45 min
Who's playing	Solo DJ — deep house & nu-disco. Venue curator by trade.
⚠ Clash	His 45 min runs to 6:25p, but the OSO closing jam is pinned at 5:45p. Somebody has to move. Not a tech question — a schedule one.

🎒 They bring

His own headphones
His own USB sticks

That's it. He brings no deck. His set exists only if a house deck exists.

🔌 They plug into — connector by connector

#	What	Out of his side	Into the floor	Board
0	His USB sticks	plug into the deck, not into us	(needs the deck to exist)	—
1–2	House deck / mixer master out	he asked for 2 × CDJ-3000 + 1 × DJM-A9, or 1 × XDJ (any model)	that mixer's balanced XLR master pair (a DJM-A9 has one) or its RCA pair	2 ch (stereo)

Plain words: his music lives on USB sticks. A USB stick needs a CDJ or XDJ player to read it. Without the player, there is nothing to plug in.

Channels on the board: 2 (stereo pair from the house deck).

🏠 House provides (what Amogh listed, 26 Oct)

Mixer board with open channels — how many channels, nobody has told us yet (after 4 pm the board is shared/open for anyone).
Mics: SM57 / SM58 (vocal + instrument) and ambient mics.
One 6.35 mm (¼") jack on the floor for instruments.
PA (the room's speakers).
Nothing else is confirmed. Monitors, DI boxes, a keyboard, a DJ deck, power strips, tables: all still open questions — see below.

❓ Still missing / open

🚨🚨 A DJ deck — this one is make-or-break. He brings headphones and USB sticks and nothing else. If there is no house CDJ/XDJ, DJ Chalk cannot play, and he needs to know this week so he can borrow or rent.
Which deck, so we know whether the master out is XLR or RCA.
DJ table, power, booth monitor.
🗓️ The 5:40p vs 5:45p clash with the OSO closing jam — resolve it (either he starts 5:30 and we close at 6:15, or his set shortens, or the jam moves).

📣 One line for Amogh

DJ Chalk, Nov 3 5:40p, 45 min: he brings only headphones + USB sticks — he needs a house CDJ/XDJ or he cannot play. 2 channels off the mixer's master, plus a table and a booth monitor. Also: his 45 min collides with our 5:45p closing jam.

Drafted from his application words — not confirmed by the artist

No tech reply yet. The deck question is the one that decides whether this set happens at all.
