music from the first hour
in your voice
on the first night
and no ceiling on the second
The Hacker Factor. One idea from the city, turned into one working app in a day, live on a room full of screens. DJs from the first hour building toward a headliner at night, painters around the perimeter all day, the room running the app on their phones and telling the teams what they think while it is still being built, money moving in public. Community solutions through technology and art.
The heartbeat
Music runs under the whole day. It is in the room when the doors open on builds already two hours in, it carries the two hour break when the teams come off the floor and the city comes to meet them, and it is the pulse the second session builds against. At eight it takes the room. Everything the night does, it does to a beat, and the beat is yours.
You already do the harder half
You make a stranger feel something they have never felt. A song moves ten thousand people, and then ten thousand people go home, because there was nothing on the other side to catch the feeling. Now there is. Builders make a thing real by the afternoon. Feeling and shipping in one building, on one night, technology and art in the same room. You are the feeling.
The rooms Green Fire has run
The last movement
By eight that room has stopped being an audience. On their feet since noon, they have watched strangers make an idea real under a clock, opened it on their phones and given money away in front of each other. Something has happened to them and it has nowhere to go. That is what you are for.
The headliner reads the Standing and announces the app to the world, its first users already in the building, every team on the stage. The night's biggest moment happens from your stage, in your voice. The whole night is filmed and streamed, and the first night is the one that gets replayed.
Who we are looking for
Artists who want to play the night a city built something for itself. Green Fire runs the music. Jordan Larsen, booking and producing rooms since 2018, holds the roster and the shape of the show. DJs through the day, and three to four artists including the headliner at night. This is the sound we are after, and where we are listening first.
Gravitas Recordings
First callThe label behind CloZee and Of The Trees. Bass music with a spine, made for a room that has just done something together.
High Vibe Records
First callMose, Equanimous, Ruby Chase. Conscious electronic music for a crowd that came to give back, and a festival Green Fire has run.
Robin Lipman
First callDirtwire, Beats Antique. Live instruments and electronics together, the crossover a mixed room of builders and dancers wants at eight o'clock.
Artists in the same lane
DirectPoranguí, Liquid Bloom, The Polish Ambassador, Deya Dova are who we are listening to. If you have played Unison, Playthink or a High Vibe stage, you know the room.
Austin's own
HomeThe city's own artists on the first night matters to us. If Austin is home, say so first.
DJs for the day
10:00 to the bellThe music runs from the first hour, each set building toward the headliner. If you play daytime rooms and know how to raise one slowly, the day is yours.
Talk to Jordan: the act, where to hear you, and whether 16 January is open.
What it gives back
We want you to feel this the way we do. A city raises an idea, twenty four people build it in a day, and the music runs from the first hour. At eight the headliner takes a room that has been building all day. What you play is what the night remembers. Technology builds the solution and art is how a city feels it, and the music is where that happens.
