Enthusiastically Ambiverted Hopepunk
Recorded live at Norwescon 48, it’s my Thursday night dance, the First Contact Galactic Gala! Three and a half hours (half an hour longer than scheduled; thanks to everyone who stuck around late!) of music for you to enjoy.
As described on the Seattle Worldcon 2025 schedule:
From dance clubs in Alaska in the ’90s to being a recent regular DJ at Norwescon, DJ Wüdi spins an eclectic mix of dance tracks from across the decades. Pop, electronica/dance, wave, disco, goth/EBM/industrial, convention classics, mashups… (almost) anything goes!
The opening night’s dance at Seattle Worldcon 2025, recorded live at the Sheraton Grand hotel in downtown Seattle where the Worldcon After Dark programming was held, just a few blocks away from the Convention Center Summit building that was home to the daytime programming. Because this is an unedited live recording, there are a few flubs (some subtle, but some notable train wrecks right off the bat)…but hey, that’s just proof that I’m a real human and not genAI. ;) Pop it on in the background and enjoy four hours of the Seattle Worldcon nightlife!
From Norwescon 47: Are you Team Enterprise or Team Skywalker? Do you dream of the final frontier, or a galaxy far, far away? Lightsaber or phaser? The Force or the Prime Directive? Let your attire display your affiliation as we dance the night away with DJ Wüdi!
One note: Due to technical issues that plagued the start of the dance, the first 20-some minutes of this has been reconstructed at home. Everything from 27 minutes on was recorded live at Norwescon. This also means there’s one duplicated track…have fun finding it!
Pre- and post-ceremony background music for the 2023 Student Employee of the Year celebration at Highline College. Much poppier than my usual style, heavily (and welcomely) influenced by suggestions provided to me beforehand by the organizing committee. Thanks to the SEotY committee for inviting me to help with the event!
